Jaz + Eric shared a few words about their engagement: “When we moved into our current apartment which has a large, private patio we agreed to finally get a dog (I have been wanting one since we moved in together). I started researching breeds and shelters, all the puppies! I fell for a black and […]

Sam reached out via Instagram and wanted to get some pictures taken of him and his partner, Jamie. Well, we had the best time exploring near the Michigan Avenue area – they let me have creative freedom as we just walked around looking for spots to shoot – completely unplanned. I think the photos turned […]

Kelly + Frank met at work five years ago. Frank started talking to Kelly while he was standing at a friend’s desk, and that was it – they’ve been together ever since. They tied the knot last year at The Dalcy – and it was such a beautiful day. The Dalcy was the perfect venue […]

Can I check it off my bucket list if it wasn’t ever actually on my bucket list? Never in a million years would I imagine I’d get to set foot on WRIGLEY FIELD for a session… stand in center field where the likes of Albert Almora, Dexter Fowler, and even Javy Baez (when he gets […]

  Trent + Todd connected initially on Coffee Meets Bagel where they exchanged some messages. A couple weeks later, Trent spotted Todd from afar at a restaurant they both happened to be having brunch, which reignited the conversation to go on a date.

Cari + Griffin are two dear friends of mine (if you follow me on Instagram @jilltiongcophoto – you might recognize these two faces from our ‘Supper Club’ where we try a new restaurant together every month). Being a part of their wedding day was so very special to us. We got to do what we […]

I ventured out to Palos Park to photograph Michelle + Tom in their home… and the drive was well worth it! These are our favorite types of engagement sessions. Relaxed, in our couples’ homes where they’re in their own, real element… doing things they normally do – drinking coffee, snuggling on the couch, reading books. […]

2019 was a big one for team JTP. It had been years in the making – but it was so incredible to see it all coming together. It was the first year we fully had our team photographers AND videographers going consistently – and we are so excited to see what 2020 and beyond has […]

Emily + Ben are getting married out west, but live in Lincoln Park, so they wanted to capture their engagement session in this town they live in and love so much. We shot at the Lily Pond, just a few blocks from their apartment, and then went over to Fullerton Beach for some lake shots. […]
