Hi there.

She spent time working on her personal fine art work for many years and in 2003 started her first wedding and portrait photography business in St. Louis, MO. Jill moved to Des Moines, IA in 2005 and has continued her wedding and portrait business along with her fine art photography. Jill currently has work displayed in and around the Des Moines area as well as work in personal collections around the world. Jill uses both medium format film cameras and digital formats to create her images. This is how the artist describes her work: “My work is a reflection of everyday life and places. I chose the medium of photography as a tool to capture the essence of the person or place. I create images to depict the subject as they are remembered in the mind. Not posed or unnatural, but as a window into the intimate world of the subject.” Jill Brown is a member of Professional Photographers of America.

film love

I have always loved film.  Maybe it's because of the hours I spent in the darkroom in high school and college.  Maybe it's because the tonal range.  Maybe it's because I'm sentimental...


Lately in my free time, I have been shooting with some medium format cameras:  a Bronica ETRS, a Yashica-A and a Hasselblad 500c/m.  I am developing the film in my kitchen and scanning to print the negatives.  


I am having such a grand time...


I love film.  I love it's tone.  I love it's depth.  I love it's delicacy.  I love it's nostalgia.  I love it's history.  I love it's romanticism.
