Jill started her studio 26 years ago. She
was working for a local school photographer
when she decided to start her own
wedding business. Three children later and
great challenges behind her, Jill has risen to
create an incredibly successful studio and
lifestyle for her children and herself.
“Our local softball team recently won their
first state tournament,” Jill states, “Prior to
each game the coach had a particular line
she repeated to the girls which very much
reflects how I feel about business and life,
‘We have choices. . . choose to win’.”
