I was blessed to work with so many wonderful families this fall that I think we’ll run out of days until Christmas before I can post them all here on the blog! Here are a few of my favorites of the sweet W family. These little ones were explorers and as I looked back through these images, I couldn’t help but think of all the great adventures ahead of them that they’ll get to share. I’m so thankful I got to be a part of this adventure with them! (And I’m speaking from recent experience with my own kids when I say that family pictures are always an adventure!)

Today I’m sharing another Bride’s Choice — this is where the bride shares her favorite image from the wedding day and the reason she loves it.

When I asked Christine to choose a favorite from her Woodlawn Estate Farm wedding, she responded that she had two and choosing would be too hard! I love that each of these photographs is so different, yet holds a place dear to her heart.

Here’s what Christine had to say about the two images below: “Well, one of my absolute favorites is the one of my baby brother, Carson, and I.  I love my family so very, very much, and you captured such an endearing, special moment of us reaching out for each other. But, I also love all of the ones of Josh and I, and they remind me of our love we share, and our magical day.”

When Kay contacted me about a family portrait session for her parents, and siblings with their own families, I knew she had her work cut out for her. Coordinating schedules with 15 people, plus myself wasn’t easy! And then coordinating everyone’s outfits on top of that was quite the task!

But I couldn’t be more pleased with how this session came together! Beautiful smiles, a gorgeous farm as the backdrop and one big happy family equals picture-taking success!

I believe that birthdays should last for a month, and that small achievements should be praised in a big way! So it’s only natural that I think a couple should be celebrated even after the wedding day is over. And Jennifer of Blushing Blooms Floral Design and Katherine of Katherine Rae Bridal Beauty share the same sentiment, which is why we’re partnering to bring you a complete anniversary portrait experience!

This experience includes a beautifully crafted bouquet, professional hair and make up and photographs at a location that holds meaning to you. Whether you’ve been married a year, or 50 years, your love is worth preserving as it grows through the seasons of life, and we think this is the perfect way to honor that love.

If you’re interested in one of these sessions, please email Jill at jill@jillchristinedesigns.com. We’d love to hear from you!

I was honored to photograph Jonathon’s senior portraits. Jonathon comes from a beautiful, kind and loving family. And just a couple of months ago, I photographed his sister’s wedding. We revisited their family farm to take these pictures and I fell even more in love with the gorgeous backdrops the farm had to offer, as well as the history of the farm that Jonathon shared in between shots. Fortunately for me, their farm — Smith Creek Farm — is now an official wedding venue and one of my 2016 brides will get married there! But for now, here are a few of my favorites of this handsome senior.
