Oh you guys, there is SO MUCH PRETTY on the blog today! And my favorite part- it has nothing (or very little!) to do with me! My JGBrides just have the best sense of style and details!! I was completely blown away in 2015 by how well thought out and planned their details were! From hangers, to bridesmaids robes, to every little detail of the reception…blown away! It really is amazing to get to spend our weekends surrounded by such beauty. I mean, I’m a typical girl- I LOVE the shoes and lace and buttons and pearls…and if you know me, you know I love the glitz!!! I am so excited for you to see these, and hope it gives a little beauty boost to the beginning (or at least for us- Mike goes back to work today) of your week! Enjoy!!
Oh this Pear Tree Estate…still one of the most beautiful venues I have shot at! Allie’s dress on the left was vintage, from an antique shop. LOVED it! And on the right, Lisa’s Independence Day details, fit for a bride a groom who both serve our country.Laura- LOVED these mixed metal rings!And Amy- these shoes! The perfect flats!Laura’s flower took my breath away.And I loved this on the right of my other Laura’s dress with her mom’s and sister’s.

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!

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!).
