 Yay!

You decided to hire a professional photographer!

We know no two families are completely alike, so we are here for every variety of family. Our main concern is capturing your dynamic connection. 

If you're looking to work with us to create the most honest and authentic photos of your family, you're in the right place.

Hiring Jill Smith or an associate is a seamless process because we know that your life is busy enough - booking and planning your annual family photos should never add to the chaos.

 So what is it like to work with us?

Booking is easy!

You literally get to go into my calendar and choose a day and time that works for you and you're in! Moms don't have time for the back and forth of coordinating a day so I've made it easier for both of us!

You can relax!

Decision fatigue is real. Let me help you plan your wardrobe and choose your location. I refuse to let you stress about planning your session and I'm here to guide you through it. I've done this a few times before, you can trust me.

Sessions are fun!

I know your kids (and spouse) might not be excited about having their photos taken, so I work hard to keep them happy and your session upbeat and quick. Most moms say they feel like they've known me forever and forget they're being photographed.

Quick turnaround!

Kids grow and change fast, and I don't want you to have to wait for them to be reaching their next milestone to get your pictures, so my turn around time is two weeks tops! Never longer.

Seriously, I get it! 

From doctor visits, birthday parties, extracurricular activities, Sunday dinner with the in laws, to the ever elusive date night, I know your schedule is packed.

You've been meaning to schedule time for photos, but it just falls on the back burner with all of the other things you have to worry about as a full time mom. 

Let me make it easy. I want to help you check one more thing off your list, and in the process, tell the beautiful story of who you are as a mother and a family.

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.
