Hi there.

My photo
Jill Brown has over 15 years of experience in the field of photography. She has studied photography at Missouri State University and Maryville University, St. Louis. 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.

Linsey + Jon = Engaged!

Date:  February 7, 2010
Locations:  Des Moines Botanical Center and WaterWorks Park

Linsey and Jon are an adorable couple... as you can clearly see from the images below.  :)
We had a fun-filled afternoon taking engagement photos at the Des Moines Botanical Center while a Jazz/Blues concert was going on.  Then we ventured to Water Works Park to take some outdoor, snow-fill photos!

There is just something about snow that makes an image a little more dreamy...

I had such a great time with the two of you!  Thanks Linsey and Jon!  I am really looking forward to your wedding!!!

Birthday Party Session | Jill Brown Photography

Date:  February 6, 2010
Location:  IKONIX Studio

I spent an hour photographing seven 11 year old girls who were invited to a pretty cool birthday party.  The birthday party included hair and nails done at a salon and then a portrait session with me in the studio!  Fun little model session!  The girls had a blast... and OMG I did too!
