WEEKEND WRAP-UP: PERSONAL | Springfield Wedding Photographer

Getting a little late start to my Monday morning blogging means something good- it means my weekend evenings were spent cuddling up by the first with my husband watching bad Christmas movies instead of working!  And I am so thankful for that- working on a little #lessworkmorelife (which should be appearing on my instagram soon too) throughout this Holiday season, and it is very refreshing!

That being said- I still had 3 sessions this weekend, one with traveling in the snow, and one outside on the first REALLY cold day of the year! I cannot WAIT to share these sessions in full over the next couple of weeks- I had so much fun at each! And on a personal note…a sweet little girl of ours began walking this weekend!!! For weeks, she has been taking just 1-2 steps at a time and immediately falling into our laps, never wanting to test the waters any further. But Saturday night, it happened and then yesterday on her own accord quite a bit, she stood and went! She is definitely the type that needs things to be HER idea- and it seems like walking finally is! And while I am so excited to see it- it definitely feels like we have no more babies in our house now. And I am not sure at all how I feel about that! Time will tell I guess! 😉

A few sneak peeks from the sessions are below…and, one of my favorite iphone captures of the year from the first big snow on Saturday. See what my little man is playing with?? #likemotherlikeson

I'm Jill, a wedding and portrait photographer based out of Chicago and Central Illinois, and available world wide! I'm also a photography educator, wife to my favorite person on the planet, mama to 3 amazing kids and an energetic Aussie, and obsessed with statement jewelry and all desserts (especially fruit pies!). 

As a past high school teacher, I have a major heart for education. After going full time in my business, I have built a business I love that gives me an almost 6 figure salary and allows me to be home part time with my kids.  I dream for you to run a business that enhances your life and lights you up, and I believe I can help you learn how to do it with a little hustle and a lot of heart!

Hello Friend!

Are you a Photographer?

Start HERE! 

Are you a mom/hobbyist?

Start HERE! 

You're in the right place!  As a past high school teacher, educating others is my life's work and a HUGE part of my business!  I have been teaching moms and hobbyists how to use their camera from first purchasing it all the way to coaching them into businesses of their own, and I'd love to help you as well, wherever you are (and whatever camera you have!).

I'm so glad you are here!  Teaching Photographers and other small business owners how to run more joyful, successful, and profitable businesses is one of my favorite parts of my business!  I specialize in working with photographers to make their goals a reality (or figure out what their goals should be in the first place!).
