About
It’s a true honor to be invited to document meaningful moments through my commercial, real estate, and aerial photography. With over 30 years in business, I bring experience, care, and professionalism to every project.
I’m a PPA Certified Professional Photographer and PPA drone certified, which means I hold a current Part 107 pilot’s license, carry proper insurance, and have extensive flight hours for safe, legal aerial work. I’ve earned merited images at the state level and am actively working toward my Master of Photography degree with PPA.
I use professional full-frame Canon and Sony cameras to ensure high-quality results that showcase your property or project at its best.
If you’re looking for reliable, experienced real estate, architectural, or aerial photography, I’d be happy to talk about how I can help.

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.

Jill was able to come over on short notice and take pictures of a realestate property. The pictures turned out great and she was able to get them back to me very quickly! She is a true professional. I recommend her to any realtors who may need a photographer for their listings.

I would give Jill 6 stars if I could. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and provided us with some of the best realestatephotography (ground and aerial) that I've seen since I entered the business.

Jill did an incredible job! I got my moneys worth and more. I am an investor out of state and she came in took incredible pictures, edited them, then gave me floor plans for all my units. Absolute incredible job. Great communication. I will use this company for every property moving forward.
