We hired Jillian to do our engagement photos last year, and I honestly can’t say enough good things about the experience and her! She was an absolute dream to work with- so patient and so friendly! She even had pose ideas for us to look through- perfect for two shy people who’ve never had professional photos taken before. I love every single photo that we took that day- they all came out absolutely amazing! We would definitely love to work with her again some day if the occasion arises!

Jillian photographed our pandemic wedding in June and we are still in awe by how amazing they came out!! She captured every moment perfectly and was so involved. Everytime someone sees our pictures the first thing they say is how absolutely amazing they are. Thank you Jillian for capturing the most important moments from our wedding so beautifully!

I cannot give enough praise to Jillian's skill behind the camera. We had a photo session on a gloomy, grey and cold day. She not only made the process so incredibly fun and easy, but her editing on the photos were perfect!! She had so many great poses for us. My 2 year old was acting less than patient during our shoot and Jill managed to get sooo many great shots. I was blown away that she got so many. My daughter was crying and fussing the whole time and I was sure there would not be many memorable shots. I got well over 30+ stunning pictures that I will have of my family for a lifetime. I would recommend Jillian to anyone looking for a family or personal photographer. She is a pure sweetheart. I cannot wait to use her again!

We had a very fun photo shoot with Jillian on a brisk fall day. Jillian's photos are gorgeous! She is very relaxed and warm, and was able to capture the essence our family. We are so so happy with our photos!!! We highly recommend Jillian and her work!!!

Had such an incredible experience with Jillian! She expertly chose a beautiful location for us with so many backdrop options... and didn’t even judge me when I changed my outfit a few times :) She made us comfortable and was so professional! If you’re looking for a photographer for an engagement shoot (or anything else!!) look no further!

Jillian took our engagement photos and was so great and lovely to work with! She had so many good ideas for different poses and types of photos which was very much appreciated since we didn’t have nearly as many ideas as she had! We had fun during our photo sessions and we felt at ease working with her. The photos are beautiful and we’ve received so many comments on how great they came out (and I love looking at them!). I’ve always been very impressed with Jillian’s photography skills and can’t recommend her enough!
