I am a lifestyle photographer based in the Pacific Northwest with deep roots in Hawaii.
Growing up in Maui taught me how beautiful the world around us is. Nature was my playground and I soaked up every second in the sun. Mix all of that with years of working in the retail industry and you'll find where my passion for photography really began.
My style aims to keep things as real and natural as possible. Where I get creative is keeping your images soft with a hint of nostalgic vibes. I am frequently inspired by in-between moments, film-styled edits, and road trips through small towns.
After becoming a mother myself, my heart for capturing maternity and newborns only grew. Pregnancy and motherhood is fleeting and I want to help you capture these powerful and vulnerable moments. As they say the days are long, but the years are short and I want to honor that with some photo memories of you and yours.
Hi
I'm Jillian.
Whether you are a first-time mother or growing your family for the fifth time, my documentary style of photography aims to creatively capture your authentic moments. I know my favorite photos are the ones that tell a story and remind me of the day they were captured. I love when a moment I thought wasn't noticed is printed in a photo on my wall. These are the types of details I am to capture when photographing for others.
I also know how tempting it is to feel like you need the perfect family photo to share, but I'm here to tell you that it is okay to let your toddler wear their favorite Lighting McQueen shirt, it's okay to let them get messy or experience their feelings in front of me. Wouldn't you rather look back at your photos years from now and laugh at how chaotic is all was or get all nostalgic about how you couldn't wash that shirt fast enough before your child needed to wear it again? I know its tempting to have your photos look a certain way, but let m tell you... we can get beautiful images while also preserving the things that really matter most.
