we live in a world where bad stories are told, stories that teach us life doesn’t mean anything and that humanity has no great purpose. it’s a good calling, then, to speak a better story. how brightly a better story shines. how easily the world looks to it in wonder. how grateful we are to hear these stories, and how happy it makes us to repeat them. [ donald miller ]
my name is jill and i think i was born to meet people in their joy – to celebrate – to create art – to love big – to tell a better story – to soak up every ounce of goodness this life has to offer. i love to meet new friends and then make images that show how beautiful & unique they are. shall we?
i’m a natural light photographer based in grand rapids, michigan. my focus is on documentary weddings but i love to explore & grow in any area of photography that i can. this blog is just a place for me to post my recent photographic pursuits, both personal and professional. hopefully it will give you an idea of who i am, what i love, and what i’ve been up to.
i love to travel so give me a shout even if you’re not in west michigan.
