Hey! I’m Jill!
As a Maryland Newborn Photographer with more than 15 years of experience, I’ve photographed thousands of portrait sessions. I love being in my professional portrait studio located in Pasadena, MD and I’m available for on-location, in-home and outdoor sessions in central Maryland.
I hope to create an experience that is comfortable and easy as we create images you’ll cherish forever. I look forward to working with you to plan a portrait session that shows the incredible ways you love one another and the tiny details that make these the days you hope to remember.
I value transparency and efficiency, so you can view my pricing here. I offer creative portrait sessions with straightforward pricing so you never have to question what the total cost will be.
Your child’s comfort, safety, and success are at the heart of my work. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education, certification in Pediatric First Aid/CPR, and experience in supporting children with autism, ADHD, and sensory differences.
I understand developmental stages of infant-, toddler- and childhood, I know how to adapt my approach for different needs, and I’m always focused on keeping sessions safe and positive. Whether your child is shy, energetic, sensory-seeking, or sensory-sensitive, I’ll meet them exactly where they are — and help them feel confident and supported.
The more I know about your child’s personality and needs before we start, the better I can make the experience enjoyable and successful for everyone.
More personally, I’m a Pisces sun and Capricorn moon. I’ve got 4 cats, 3 kids and 2 partners. I’m a Reiki Master Teacher and trained as a Death Doula.
My oldest child is already in high school and I’m still gratefully and eagerly figuring this whole parenting-thing out.
I’m queer and I’m polyamorous – just in case you hear me talking about my partners or my husband and my girlfriend. We live together and raise our kids in a household with a lot of love. Together, we love the Renaissance Festival, all things Halloween and Christmas and family movie nights.
I’ve been photographing families who have suffered the loss of their baby for more than 13 years – it’s the most important work I’ll ever do. I teach Memory Making for Loss class for birth workers who wish to know more about working with bereaved families. I also photograph people of all ages in their dying time. Deathwork continues to be my lifelong teacher and informs my work.
