SPRINGFIELD ILLINOIS BABY MILESTONE PHOTOGRAPHER Ethan | 1 Year Old

I am so excited to share sweet little Ethan who is ONE…which also means my little boy is one (as we discussed in the last blog post ;-)) because they were born within a couple weeks of each other!  I cannot believe it!  I LOVE this family, and love that I have gotten to track through so many of life’s greatest hits with them!  Click here for their engagement session, and here for their beautiful resort wedding, and here for Ethan’s 6 month photos!!  The fun thing about this session was that they were SO worried that Ethan’s mood was going to greatly impact the photos…and while we all worked hard for the smiles we got, Ethan was a TOTAL star!!!  From his sweet toothy smiles to his wandering all over the space and loving the props…we had so much fun! With his long hair and teeth, he just looks like such a TODDLER to me and he was just so small! I absolutely loved seeing Kelsey and Josh interact with him as well- they are so playful with him and truly know just what to do to get him to smile!  I miss the days of getting to focus SO much on our first baby because it changes so much with more kids– and it was so fun to see that focus and fun in this sweet family!  Here are some of my favorites!

Full gallery coming soon, Kelsey!!

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 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!).
