They never quite look how you expect, and yet you wouldn’t trade them for the world. 

No matter how messy or rowdy your kiddos may be, you're still pretty sure they're made of pure sunshine.

With their little hands clenched tight with wildflowers, small feet dangling off the counter, water-soaked clothes from splashing in the creek. Mystery bruises and sticky cheeks and all.

These details of your babes may seem ordinary, but as a mama—they’re exactly what you want to remember.

“Our photos feel like us.”

Jillian has a way of taking the mundane and translating that into a beautiful story through photographs. I had no idea the angles she captured were even our reality. Looking at them makes me smile, because they capture the beautiful chaotic season of life we are in, that I know we will fondly look back on one day.

Motherhood

Whether your motherhood journey is just starting or you’ve been a Mama for many years, I can’t wait to document the story of you and your babes.

Branding

The heartbeat of your brand captured with imagery that's timeless and true to you. If you're hoping to elevate your brand and connect with clients that align with your purpose, a brand story is the first step. 

Newborn

Wanting to curl up at home with your pets? Perfect! Looking for something a little more raw? I can be at your birthplace shortly after bringing babe earthside.



Families

We can walk city streets, splash in the lake, or snuggle up in your home and document your story in the place you cherish the most.




I’m just livin’ in it

It’s your family’s world 

Running around the Lone Star State  with the cutest families you ever did see

Every family is different. Their homes, how they spend their Saturdays, how they raise their babies, and their stories. So I wouldn’t dream of treating them or their sessions all the same!

When I’m with your family I’m paying attention to how you look at and talk to each other, what makes you smile, the things your kids are interested in, how you spin your babies around, and the way you explode with laughter. 

I promise to see, really see, the beautiful details that make your family different—and oh, so special. 

“As a mom, I want to look at an image and be brought back to the moments of authentic laughter and the simplicity of just being.

Jillian captures the details each life season brings not by forcing moments but by providing warm direction.

"Jillian is truly extraordinary, and her art is beautiful and unmatched. "


We felt instantly comfortable with her, and our daughter adored her which is no easy feat. She is a gem, and we are so thrilled to have found her.

Memories > Poses

Can I tell you a secret? It’s never the posed pictures that truly feel like your family.

The messy, perfectly imperfect moments? The simple moments that come naturally? Those are the ones you'll long to remember in 20 years.

Those photos, the ones you’ll always want to reach for, they aren’t planned. They're found while… nursing, dancing barefoot, watching the clouds, and hanging out with the people you love the most.

Let’s make your session as simple as making a memory. 

These seasons of life are sweet but short.

That precious baby bump disappears just as quickly as the sleepless newborn nights. Firsts become lasts, again and again. You learn to savor the slowness in the tiniest moments. 

Like when you're putting the finishing touches on your baby's nursery during the third trimester. When they discover their feet and pull on their toes. When their nose is so close to the coloring book it’s nearly touching. When time is still and perfect. 

Although those moments can’t last forever, these memories will.

Photographing the same families in Austin year after year has taught me that growth always promises more to love. 

And being able to watch their babies grow is the biggest privilege.
