SPRINGFIELD IL HISTORIC LINCOLN SENIOR SESSION Amanda | Class of 2017

I don’t often get to photograph seniors that aren’t my own- but I always find that I love it just as much even when they aren’t!  It is just such an unbelievably exciting and fun time in a person’s life, and I love hearing about it all and just really getting to know what makes these seniors special. And there is so much that makes Amanda special that I got to know during her mini-session- even though it was the first time I met her!
Amanda is gorgeous, but I’m not sure she knows it! And I also know that she has spent all her years so far learning about all the things that make her much more beautiful- her heart, how kind she is to others, and how important family is… she has learned so well!  I so enjoyed getting to chat with her mother and sister throughout her session as well.  Amanda didn’t spend her entire childhood attending the school she is at now- but has acclimated extremely well, and seems to be the sort of student and lady who can fit in anywhere she needs to!  And that makes her even more beautiful.  Meet Amanda!

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!).
