JILL JONES PHOTOGRAPHY

I began my photography journey 18 years ago while attending design school in Florence Italy. I loved photographing people in their everyday lives, moving and interacting with one another and the space around them. At this point, I was taking pictures as a hobby I deeply enjoyed and as a way to remember my time in Europe. They are still some of my most treasured images and memories. Upon returning to the states I continued with my photography and often did portraits for friends and family.

Family sessions are a lot of fun, Maternity sessions always leave me feeling empowered with just being a woman and how absolutely incredible our bodies are, but nothing…. NOTHING is as moving for me as a photographer, than witnessing the love and experiencing the emotions emanating from a couple while photographing an elopement. To watch the world disappear for the two of them as they look into one another’s eyes promising forever. To see the tears on their faces when they exchange vows, because the moment is so much more powerful than they expected. That is what I want to capture. I want my couples to feel all those emotions every time they look at their photos. 

While I believe it is important to find a photographer whose style and images appeal to your sense of beauty, I feel it is just as important to find someone with whom you are compatible. Someone who will nurture an atmosphere where you are comfortable and free to be yourself.
