DOWNTOWN SPRINGFIELD SENIOR PHOTOGRAPHER Kayla | Class of 2017

Now that I am no longer teaching at the high school I taught choir at for 8 years, I covet every bit of time I get with my old students, in every situation! If we happen to get out to a game, or of course every moment during the spring musicals that I still direct…and also if I get to photograph their senior sessions. This beauty is one of mine, someone I watched grow up since 5th grade and have worked with the past 3 years.  She has grown so much over that time, and is such a beautiful multi-dimensional girl.  And she is so my type of girl.  Feminine, girly, glitter obsessed, and a lover of all things pink, beautiful, and pageantry…I just get her.  Because I see so much of myself in her.  Kayla is an extremely talented singer and performer, which is of course how I got to know her.  We bonded quickly her freshmen year for many reasons, and her sophomore year, she was my Frenchy in Grease.  Last year I got to see her in full princess dress glory in our show, and I cannot wait to see what this year brings for this wonderful girl! Meet Kayla!

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!).
