Sometimes I just meet people and instantly know that we could be real life friends…and these two are so like that for me! I met Sarah and Toby for a front porch session in the spring, and instantly adored them. But seeing them together (and getting to meet Sarah’s parents too!) for their engagement session for an extended period of time just fully convinced me! They are crazy about each other, but just grounded, kind, loving, GOOD PEOPLE. And I just wish they could be duplicated over and over in this world! Sarah and Toby told me they were going to be so awkward…they had never been professionally photographed, weren’t sure how to pose, and were just awkward together. Well, I will let these photos speak for themselves, but they were about as natural as couples come! There is just such a settled feeling about these two in general and it just makes them so wonderful to be around. I am so excited to share these favorites!
I also have to give a shout out to my talented and sweet friend Erica of Erica Reist Bass Videos who joined us to give some amazing engagement session video footage to this sweet couple of mine– I know they are SO thankful and can’t wait to see her amazing work also!!!
Here are some of my many favorites– meet Sarah and Toby!
LOVE that late fall light so much! I know so many people like leaves and greenery…but to me, this is the very prettiest of landscapes and seasons! And couples! I just love these all so much! This glow!

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!).
