A SPECIAL BIRTHDAY NOTE For my Michael

On Saturday, we celebrated Michael’s birthday!  We love birthdays every year and I feel like we try to make a big deal of them, though admittedly in small ways (extra quality time, extra spoiling each other, and lots and lots of cake…you know, the small things!).  There is just something special about a birthday- giving a little extra love to celebrate another year together, another year with out babies…we just love it!  And when our birthdays fall on weekends it gives us a little extra time to really focus on the day!

This is going to be a short and sweet post, for the man who changed my perspective, taught me balance, and gave me a home.  A little letter, with as many words as his years (which, my Michael, is why it’s so SHORT! Because regardless of your worries, and how we would go to bed at 8 PM every night of we could…you are still plenty young!).

My Michael,

Putting my adoration of you into (few!) words is impossible for me.  You are truly all things good, on all days.  I love you-especially now, 38 and all!  Oops…did I say that? 😉

IWLUCTE,

Your Jill

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!).
