At the end of the day, it's all family photography.

Maternity, newborn, family...

I get it.

Your family's story goes beyond what shows up in those nine squares (rectangles, whatever they are now). You're not looking for a photography to turn your family into something you're not.

Family photography is not a performance. It’s a nuanced, artful observation of the life unfolding in front of you. The gestures you don’t notice. The way you hold each other. The personality that makes your family unmistakably yours.

That’s what I photograph. That's what we'll create.

Hey, I’m Jill Smith.  The one behind the camera. Mom to two. Special needs advocate. Lover of all things analog. Photographer, who cares deeply about making photos you’ll love today and understand even more years from now.

Hey I'm Jill! 

I've been photographing New York families for over ten years now, and I can honestly say I love my job! 

I prioritize creating honest photos of families being them. My number one goal is to create a visual time capsule for you.

The photos we create together are for you, but they're also for the people that love you. These images will serve as bits of proof that you were here, you loved, and people loved you back.

My Mission

To create honest photographs that feel nostalgic and true.

To collaborate with families rather than reshape them.

To celebrate and represent people of every race, ethnicity, body type, ability, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, and family structure.

All humans are welcome here.
