SPRINGFIELD IL LIFESTYLE FAMILY AND KID PHOTOGRAPHER The B Family | Kindred
I‘ll say it again and again…ages 1-2 are the HARDEST for photos of littles! Old enough to have plenty of opinions, but too young for a real bribe! Typically in outdoor sessions, I do a lot of playing with the littles at my sessions but that is a little harder in the winter in the studio– so we do what we can! This sweet family was total troopers, having come once for a session when this little darling blue eyed guy was just not feeling well, so we tried again and while he is still 2…we got some great photos! This little one is just a few days older than my littlest (and takes to photographing MUCH better overall!), and it always makes it SUCH a joy to see him! He is ALL little boy, loving everything with wheels (especially construction toys!) with so much energy, and I just would love to play on a big old playground with him someday! But in the mean time, these sweet photos of him will do- he was giving me all the facial expressions and had me laughing the whole time!
Kelsey and Josh are a Jill Gum Couple, and we go way back to their engagement and wedding, which was an all time favorite! It makes this family so extra special to me, and I just LOVE capturing these next stages for them! Kelsey– Your boy is just SO fun, playful, and handsome, and I enjoyed seeing you all SO much!!

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!

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!).
