CENTRAL ILLINOIS LIFESTYLE NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY SESSION Cohen | Carried

From the first day I met Maggie and Blake, I was immediately drawn to them.  They are friendly and kind, super easy going and don’t fret about pointless things in life…but I know that’s not the only reason.  We also share a love for the simple country life and I know that draws me to them as well.  They just always make me smile.  Maggie told me when we were planning for Cohen’s newborn session that her house wasn’t super decorated and I would need to work some magic to make it all look great…and I walked into the cutest farm home on the planet– I think I want her to come decorate MY new home!!  That is another quality I just love about them…they are modest and easy and they just know how to enjoy their lives and focus on what matters!

But their new little Cohen? He stole my heart in an instant, even quicker than his mama and dad.  He has the fullest head of hair I have EVER seen on a newborn and literally did not make a PEEP his entire session until the end when I was trying to wake him up for some open eye photos!  He was the absolute easiest baby to move around and shuffle for his photos, and just added to his parents calm and easy going nature– he clearly has gotten his entire vibe from them!!  I just LOVED him!  This is definitely a new favorite among newborn sessions!  Meet sweet Cohen!

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!

Are you a mom/hobbyist?

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!).
