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.

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!

In the Studio | Jill Brown Photography

Date:  January, 24, 2010
Location:  IKONIX Studio

Today I the kids and I were a little restless so I decided to take them to the studio to do some test shots.  The kids and I had a fun time just messing around. 

When we got there all of the studio lights were in their bags since the guys at IKONIX were shooting at Wells Fargo Arena the night before.  Since I wasn't so sure how they were to be set up, the images below were taken with bookends and with both natural light and on-camera flash.  Tom of IKONIX did come down half-way though the shoot and help me set up the lighting, however my favorite shots were from before he got there. 

I am pleased with the way they turned out and am excited about working in the studio more.
