Hi, I’m Jill!

I’m a work-from-home mom of two, and I’m stoked you’re here!

I don’t remember the first time I picked up a camera… but I do remember mad-dogging my mom when she was holding one (usually from whatever flower bed or hay bale she sat me on.) I’d be wearing a hat, I would ABSOLUTELY be matching my little brother, and she got exactly zero photos of me looking and smiling. I was such. a. punk.

Mom always had her camera out for ALL THE THINGS. Vacations, birthdays, prom… but also the days at home, when I’d dress up the dog or play in the laundry basket. At some point I had my own camera and she would often tell me to take pictures of people, not things. (This may or may not have been directly related to the cost of a roll of film in 1995.)

“We can buy a postcard of the scenery…I want to remember that we were here.”

I never thought this would be my job.

In college I spent a hot second looking into a photography minor, but it was pretty expensive (and “I’ll never make money doing it”) so I bailed.

It wasn’t until I quit my job in 2014 to stay home with my first baby that I started this adventure. And it’s been so good. And so hard. It’s been everything, really.

I shoot because I want to remember that we were here. The mood, the laughter, stolen glances, grandma’s hands resting on your own…those kissable toddler cheeks. It’s all more than just memories, these are the stories of life and love you’ll tell your grandkids about.
