If you are looking for a wedding photographer look no further. Jill is such a delightful and professional photographer and makes everyone feel at ease to get the very best photos. She met with the bride and bride’s mother to discuss the wedding and to discuss photo album offerings. Jill arrived early and even helped us unload folding chairs for the quick set up at this public park garden! She is a pro at getting the different photo groups together. In addition to all the group shots, the photos of the bride, the groom and the couple simply captured the joy of the moment. Jill took full advantage of the park setting and included shots from the garden and at the beautiful pond. The photos were equally well done at the intimate reception and afterward, walked down to the Ohio River to take bride and groom photos with the Cincinnati skyline in the background. Simply beautiful. We could not be more pleased.

Starting from our first interaction Jill was highly responsive, punctual, charming, and professional. She has vast knowledge of her craft, and is full of talent! She has been working in the field of photography for 30 years, and you can tell!! She had great suggestions for us before the day of shooting; and on our set date she arrived early, kept everything organized and timely, (which says a lot considering we had an hour of time, an outfit change, props, and our 2 big dogs to shoot) and she had plenty of ideas for where/what to shoot. All the while, she carried on friendly conversation with us, which made the whole experience feel natural, easy, and stress free. The resulting pictures were vastly above any expectation we could have had, and she even edited them and got them back to us that very night! You won’t regret hiring Jill to capture your special moment.💕📸 ***Thanks so much Jill!*** You have earned another family of customers for life!

Working with Jill, everything went according to plan. She knew exactly what type of photos I was looking for, and was well-prepared. The shoot went quickly but was not rushed. We reviewed the shots together preliminarily before I left her studio, and I had a link to the finished work within 24 hours. Most important, I was very pleased with the results! I would use Jill again without hesitation.

Jill really outdid herself helping my family! We were on a short time limit with my parents in town for just 24 hours and desperately trying to find somone who could do a family portrait, and wow did we FINALLY strike a homerun. Jill was extremely accomodating finding a way to do some solos of my children and still get my family and extended family as part of the shots. Her contraptions were marvelous to get us pictures there on the spot and in a very handsome usb case. The pictures were high quality and to die for. I don't know how she ended up making me look good! Thanks again Jill!

Jill was really interested in knowing more about us personally, our "story"; and I think it made her very in tune with the feel of the wedding and captured our personalities. Very unobtrusive but caught so many great shots and the finished product - a beautifully done photo album - will provide smiles and memories for years to come.
