A CENTRAL IL COUNTRY ENGAGEMENT SESSION Lauren + Daniel | Promised

This is a session that I looked forward to since LITERALLY the day that Lauren first reached out to me about potentially being her wedding photographer. I hoped it would work out, and then I celebrated when it did (like I do with each of my couples!), and then I was SO excited to meet them at their engagement session!  Lauren just has this positive, bright, beautiful energy about her that I could feel even through the computer screen (and of course on every insta post!), and it captivated me!  Then when Lauren said “our family’s land” for engagement photos…I enjoy a beautiful park or urban area as much as the next photographer, but it was just SO my ideal style!  And then I got there to fancy outfits and Lauren in a gorgeous long white dress…I think she and I are soulmates a bit!  Anyways– I absolutely loved my evening with these two.  Super kind, engaging, and easy going…even in thick bugs and heat.  And while Daniel may not be living his absolute best life while getting his picture taken– he was such a good sport and so happy to do it for Lauren.  They are a beautiful couple inside and out and I absolutely cannot WAIT for their wedding!

Meet Lauren and Daniel!

Best behaved dog award, for sure! Lauren you are SO beautiful!! We were on a bridge that Lauren’s granddaddy built on their property…I loved it so much! You wouldn’t believe the woods Lauren walked through in these heels! This look was the most “them”- and my favorite! Lauren and Daniel, I LOVED meeting you guys! Full gallery coming 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!).
