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 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.

Flaunt On the Avenue

While I was in Virginia a few weeks ago, my husband and I also drove to Baltimore, MD to do a shoot for a salon called Flaunt on the Avenue (FB page here!)  Flaunt is a sweet little salon full of chandeliers, funky furniture and hot pink walls.  If you find your self in Baltimore, on The Avenue and need a new do - go check this place out!

Diamonds & Rust

A few weeks ago, my hubby and I took at trip to a lovely town called Aldie in Virginia.  It was absolutely beautiful.  We stayed in a 200 year old cottage.  We ate at a 200 year old tavern.  It was amazing.  While we were there, I had to do a session for a cute little antique shop called Diamonds & Rust (you can also find them on FB).  Here are a few of my favorites from the shoot!

(I cannot wait to go back to this town!)

Greth Family #2

Kim and Mike met me at the studio on a beautiful Sunday morning.  The temperature was nice, but the wind was blowing, so the whole session was inside.  It was a fun little session and everyone participated - even the dog!  :)
