*More blog posts will resume once I have more time in my schedule to update my more recent work. Thank you for understanding.
I was very lucky this month because I was selected to be the Business of the Month at my dentist's office at Penfield Family Dentistry. One day I received a call from someone looking for family portraits and what was the chance that I was already planning to come home that weekend!
Read MoreIn early November, the Andolsek family reached out to me to take pictures of their beautiful family. This session was so important to me because it reminded me of my amazing family and November is Adoption Awareness month! This family was an absolute joy to photograph and the light rain did not stop us from getting some gorgeous images!
Read MoreLong story short, I met Kate during my freshman orientation at SUNY Oswego and we instantly became friends. She ended up transferring and started a new adventure at Cazenovia College. Five years later, she reached out to me with huge news... She was ENGAGED!
Read MoreI've known Gabe since he was a freshman at SUNY Oswego and who would have ever guessed he would work as a RA the same year as my boyfriend is the Assistant Hall Director in Oneida Hall. Gabe mentioned that he followed my Facebook page: Jill Studio Photography + Design and that his girlfriend saw my work.
Read MoreFor awhile, photographing someone's proposal has been on my photography bucket list. When Trevor reached out to me I was overjoyed with excitement. He knew he wanted to propose to Candace at a park in Syracuse, but he needed help catching the special moment and making it perfect.
Read MoreI've known Mary and Danny for a long time now. Mary was the grade above me in high school and Danny is the older brother of someone I graduated with back in 2010. These two high school sweethearts are absolutely perfect for each other. They both love the outdoors and are super adventurous. Their pup, Kali, is also a huge part of their lives.
Read MoreMy last senior of the year... and my second guy senior of the year! I met Wesley and his stepmom at my favorite spot in Webster. He was a last minute senior and the deadline to submit senior portraits for the yearbook was literally in two days!
Read MoreThis might be one of my latest bookings, but I was available so it worked out for us both! Ruth could be one of the sweetest people I have ever met! The poor bride had someone spill champagne on her and I didn't even know.
Read MoreIt took some convincing to get Leigh to agree to a maternity session. She never thought she would want to have maternity pictures of her first baby still in her belly, but after the session as we were going through the images, she couldn't be any happier that she did.
Read MoreMackenzie was another senior from Wayne Central that I was lucky enough to work with this summer. She was such a sweetheart and although it was really hot, we tried not to think about about it... This summer was just not nice to my seniors!
Read MoreOne of my favorite things about photography sessions is a new location! I met Angelena at her family's camp and found some great beachy scenery. You would have thought I drove to Cape Cod or the Thousand Islands, but this was only a hour away from Oswego!
Read MoreI must say that mother nature was definitely on my side for my weddings this year! Another gorgeous day for an outdoor wedding, 78 degrees and an overcast are the most ideal thing I could ever ask for! This wedding was a lot different than my others.
Read MoreThe last time I saw Tashia and John was in Oswego during their engagement session. This wedding was one for the books because it was my first DOUBLE HEADER WEDDING! That meant I had TWO weddings in one weekend. At first I was a little skeptical and thought I might be over my head in this, but I honestly loved it!!!
Read MoreI met with the Mueller family at a park in Syracuse back in June. We had a wonderful time walking along the lake and playing on the playground! And less than two months later, Conor was born!
Read MoreLaura was one of my senior model reps this year and earned a FREE senior portrait session! I've known Laura for awhile now and it was so weird seeing one of my closest friend's younger sister all grown up!
Read MoreSeems like this was my year for the girls of Wayne Central's senior class of 2016! Emily and her family drove to Oswego, because one... I was super booked and two... she wanted a location that was different from her classmates.
Read MoreWhen my co-worker mentioned her friend was looking for a wedding photographer for her daughter and she taught I'd be a great fit, of course I was super excited! A couple days later, she reached out to me and I was booked!
Read MoreLexi was another one of my beautiful senior model reps this year! She brought along her younger sister for part of the session. We started at Kent Park and ended at Webster Park on Lake Ontario.
