THE RAIL GOLF COURSE SHERMAN IL VIBRANT WEDDING Bob & Jen | Married

Sometimes it’s more than 2 that become one…

And at this wedding? It felt like a lot more than 2.  It truly felt like the the joining of 2 families who have really been family already for years, and it was so beautiful.  Bob’s kids and Jen’s niece and nephew trailed each other around all day in a way that made me SURE that they will choose to be more than related but truly close friends for the rest of their lives, and it was just the most lovely thing. Jen and Bob and their loved ones were such a close knit group, and the vibrant feelings of joy and fun over these two and their marriage was evident in every moment.  It is absolutely clear that these two are adored in their circle, and loved by everyone who comes into contact with them.

During the toasts, both Jen’s sister and her best friend shared about Jen’s magnetism…how people are just drawn to her, and I 100% get why.  And Bob is just the same!! I was most touched though by seeing Bob and Jen with those 4 sweet kids so dear to them…their wedding day was truly a beautiful family affair, and it absolutely defined the meaning and purpose of marriage for me!  I can’t wait to share these favorites!

First look time… with Bob’s son standing by! It rained all morning so we spent portrait time dodging some puddles… but wait until you see what happened later! I love these next three! I loved all the vibrancy and color here!!! And then look!  SUNSET!  My favorite time of day!! This light!!! I’m teaching all about it in the Photo U this month so it was fun to experience it all this evening so perfectly in the middle of prepping that content! Jen and Bob, I adore you two and am SO happy for you!  Enjoy Key West–more coming so soon!

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!).
