Jill Brown has over 15 years of experience in the field of photography. She has studied photography at Missouri State University and Maryville University, St. Louis. 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.
I have known Lisa and Charles for about 3 years. GREAT couple. LOVE to hang out with them. EASY going. FUN people. Their kids are AWESOME and play so well with mine. Most nights we hang out and it gets late before we realize it! I am fortunate enough to have been able to photograph their children both this year and last.
This year we did their session at their home - which was awesome!
I did a family session for Layna and her last fall. At the time, Layna was pregnant. :) Layna called me earlier this year to do another session with her family with their new baby, Wylder! He is such a doll! We did the session
I really love to do in-home family sessions, especially with kids. Kids are so much more relaxed and in their natural element at home and the sessions always seem to turn out great! This session was no exception!
It was so wonderful to take your family's portraits again, Shield's family! Thank you so much!
