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.

Olivia's B-day Session
Olivia and 9 of her friends got all dolled up and came to my studio for a Birthday Party Photo Session! This is one of my favorite things. We crank up the music and the girls have a great time!

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!

My Little Mary is 9 Years Old
My new family tradition is to take birthday portraits, however this one was taken 13 days after the birthday! Better late than never!
Little Mary is my youngest daughter. She is so sweet and caring. She's also the kind of girl that can watch those operation shows on TV and is captivated by it. She does not get that from me. I have to close my eyes.
She decided to go to Union Park to ride on the Heritage Carousel. It was a fun time.
Here are a few of my favorites...crooked glasses and all...

Sixty-Fifth Birthday...
My mother-in-law turned 65 last week and the family threw her a surprise 65th birthday party. Dave, the kids and I drove in to St. Louis. It was a great time. We ate yummy "Don Burgers" (a famous burger made by my father-in-law, Don) and beautiful sunflower cupcakes.
Here are a few shots from the day...

Weekends and Family Traditions
This weekend was a busy one...
FRIDAY: Friday is "date night" here at the Brown household. Date Night means that mom and dad hit the town and the kids stay home! We decided to change it up this weekend and do something a little old school... dinner and a movie. We had a yummy dinner at Ruby Tuesday, complete with dessert. The movie... we saw "Up" in 3D. Wow. Wow. Wow. 3D has come a long way since we were kids! It is a fantastic movie... I laughed, I cried, I laughed, I cried. I highly recommend it!
SATURDAY: It sprinkled off and on all day. The kids and I walked up to the high school and watched the parade at 10 am. The parade was full of fun floats and lots of candy (of which we did not need).
The afternoon was spent packing Hannah for Camp Hertko Hollow. For those of you who are not familiar with this particular camp, it is a camp for kids with diabetes. My daughter has looked forward to this camp all year long. She says that she is going to go every year until she's too old to go. Then she's going to go as a camp counselor. Good for her. She's been diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes for only 14 months, but she is such an inspiration!
The evening, of course, was fireworks! Urbandale put on a BeAuTiFuL display this year.
SUNDAY: Gracie's Birthday! Gracie turned 10. Whoa. I can't believe how quickly they grow up! Presents were opened in the morning. We took Hannah to camp in the afternoon, followed by taking Gracie to Game Stop to buy her a DS game and then off to dinner. Cake and ice cream with the neighbors finished off the day. Phew! Busy weekend!
FAMILY TRADITION: Okay, so I've decided to start a new family tradition. You may ask yourself why the heck I didn't think about this sooner, since I'm a photographer and all but I didn't. Don't ask me why. Maybe it's because I'm always thinking about the next client shoot and forget that I have a WoNdErFuL family right here that needs to be documented regularly. SO... on to the new family tradition... BIRTHDAY PORTRAIT SESSIONS! Okay, okay so my youngest is about ready to turn 9 and I'm just now getting around to this?! Well, better late than never!
Gracie is the first kiddo in the family with a birthday this year, so the tradition starts with her. The deal is just me and the birthday girl or boy gets to go somewhere with mom and have a private portrait shoot. Here are some of my favorites from the 1st Annual Gracie Birthday Portraits!
