Hi there.

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.

Culver Family Session - Take Three!

I always consider myself a lucky girl when I have the opportunity to photograph my clients through out their lives.  This is one family that I have had the pleasure of photographing on three different occasions.  Here is the latest of the Culver Family Sessions!

Nicole + Tyler

Nicole and Tyler were married in southeastern Iowa in a beautiful little church that was built in 1855.  This little church is very tucked away ... go through a little town, turn left, then look for another road to your left.  The road to the church is long and tree covered - it's enchanting.  As you come to the opening at the end of the road... there it is.  Quaint and lovely.  It was such an elegant, simple and full of love kind of wedding...
