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.

Gardner Family

In early November my family and I moved to a new house.  A few days after we moved in, our orange tabby Charlie got out and didn't come back.  Over a month passed since we last saw our sweet Charlie and we had given up hope that he was going to come home.

Then a little over a week ago I received a phone call from the microchip company.  Charlie had been found!  I wonderful family that lived only a few streets over had found him!  This wonderful, kind, beautiful family brought our dear, sweet Charlie home to us.

Thank you so, so, so much Gardner family.  We are so happy that you helped Charlie find his way home!  Much love to you and your family!

Here are a couple of photos from a quick session I did for this wonderful family...

Conrey Family

The Conreys are good friends of our family.  I love taking photos of my friends.  This time I was able to take photos of my friend's entire family!  Many coming from as far away as New York.  We spent the early morning at the Des Moines Botanical center as we are still digging out from a blizzard here and it was sooo cold!

It was so great to meet those of the family I had not met yet!  Happy Holidays!

Brooksley

Sweet Brooksley is the daughter of my husband's cousin & his lovely lady Lindsy.  Brooksley is such an absolute doll!  She is always sweet even when her parents say she's not being sweet - she really is.  Such a good girl ... and such a cutie!!!
