HILL PRAIRIE VINEYARD WINERY SPRING WEDDING Toby + Sarah | Married

Sarah and Toby stole my heart a year ago when I met them for a lot of reasons, but their wedding day only added to my adoration of them as a couple!  Their wedding day was so full of family, love, and laughter and I just loved it so much.  During their ceremony, their Officiant talked a lot about the choice of marriage, and it resonated a lot with me as something my husband Michael and I have always discussed.  Deciding to get married is about feelings and love and dreams…but it is also about making a choice, and then making it daily for the rest of your lives together.  Their Officiant discussed how that choice married people make in the most fruitful marriages is to love and serve your partner above yourself– to put them first before your own wants and needs, and it paints such a beautiful picture of marriage.

I believe that Sarah and Toby love each other with a love like that.  A love that says “you first” at every decision, and that is what I see in them together.  Their wedding day reflected that too, and it was just so beautiful to be a part of.  It was such a simple, laid back day that really focused on what matters most to them, with an intimate wedding party and quality time spent with their loved ones!  I have so many favorite photos that I am so excited to share!

Sarah, you are BEAUTIFUL!! Favorite! I LOVE this photo! Sarah and Toby, thank you so much for letting me be a part of your day!  It was so special!  Congratulations Mr and Mrs Turek!!

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!).
