I thought September was going to be the craziest month of the year… that was until October hit. October was FULL of engagement sessions, weddings, family photo shoots, a senior portrait session, and even a desert adventure for me (blog post on that coming soon I promise)! It was by far my busiest month, and […]

Personal notes from my brides are the best and put the BIGGEST smile on my face 🙂

Yesterday, a photographer reached out to me after just shooting the D.C. Hendrick’s Gin event, similar to the one that I recently shot in Chicago. Apparently the promotions company that handles the account had mentioned they liked my photos (HOORAY!), and he sent the following email… Hey Jill, My name is (we’ll say, *Matt*), and […]

Somehow I made it through September with some of my sanity remaining (and by some, I mean it takes me a few seconds to know what day it is… but I get there eventually). But it hasn’t been easy. It’s been full of hectic planning, editing in my car parked outside an event three nights […]

When I met Jordan of Jordan Quinn Photograph at Jasmine Star’s theFIX, I was immediately drawn to her energy and welcoming personality.

It was just passed 11:00am as I was sitting in Advanced Algebra 2 Trig, struggling to wrap my head around cosine, tangent, and sine; baffled at how I was supposed to find the value of x, y, and z; and trying to stifle my growling stomach as I wondered what I was going to eat […]

While I thought I had just been fighting off allergies for the past few weeks, it has officially turned into a cold. Sore throat, sniffly nose, ear ache… I got it. Just in time for my busy season, too. Can you tell how excited I am to be feeling under the weather? Needless to say, […]
