High School Senior Reps

I am looking for a few good high school students to be my senior representatives for the 2009 - 2010 school year. What does this mean you wonder? For starters, you will receive a reduced session fee as well as print credit, some free wallets, and a digital image for facebook, my space, etc... You can choose 2-3 outdoor locations for the session. There will be one mini indoor session - mainly for the yearbook picture. Your job? Share all your gorgeous images with your family and friends.

Think you might be interested? Drop me an email with your activities/interests, the high school you attend and why you think you would make a good rep = ) email: jillriesephoto@yahoo.com. Please put "HS Senior Rep" in the subject. At this time, only the first 25 applicants will be considered. Lincoln High Schools and surrounding area High Schools are eligible.

back in full swing in 2009

2008 was a GREAT year and I cannot thank you all enough! All my clients, whether new or returning, have been absolutely fabulous to work with. I get to meet so many wondeful people and even make a few friends along they way. I truly treasure eveyone of you and have enjoyed capturing these moments in your lives.

Change is in the air! There will be new pricing for 2009. I hope to have it posted very soon, here and on my blog. If you have already booked a session in 2009, you will be unaffected by this change.

I have been enjoying this much needed break and spending time with my family. However, it's hard to keep me away from the computer once the kiddos go to bed and I have been working on some new birth announcements for all my expecting moms = )

I have even picked up the camera just a few times. This little man turned terrible two! This little man is all MINE!!

Welcome baby E!

Baby E wraps up my 2008 year and what a year it's been.  Let me tell you how sweet this little guy is ... so content!  Whether awake or asleep he was such a good baby!  I certainly hope he stays this way.  He has the cutest little wrinkles on his forehead - I think you can see them in the image with daddy. Mom says they come from her =0  I also have to comment on how I love getting family pets involved in the action!  They are like kids, too, and part of the family. It's important to remember to capture them as well.

Without further a do... A sneak peak for B and D...













Many blessing this Holiday Season to all of you as we celebrate the birth of God's son, Jesus, the most precious gift given to all!

Home for the Holidays

This photo shoot was talked about for a long time before it came to fruition. Meet my hair dresser and her 3 gorgeous daughters. As many of us know, it can be difficult to get together for the holidays b/c of distance, jobs, etc... Well, this year, Jacquie managed to get all her daughter's back at the same time so she celebrated the occasion with a photo shoot! I love how laid back and connected they all were. I hope that when my 3 kiddos are grown, we can have this much fun!

Jacquie and daughters (and even the family dog(s) in a few)







We needed a little testosterone as well = ) I'm not sure he was prepared but definitely was a good sport!



One of just the "girls" = )



Jacquie and her pooch!

The "J" girls

Meet the "J" girls... baby J, big sister J and mom J. This shoot was mainly about baby J. She is such a sweet baby girl. Naked the whole time and lovin' it! Not a single accident. I love her adorable rolls! Such a brief period of time where they are considered cute but baby J can pull it off = )

Baby J solo...showing off her tummy time abilities.

Big sis J all dolled up in her Christmas dress!

Backyard shoot with 4 brothers

Just before the cold winter winds set in, I had a nice afternoon to photograph these 4 brothers in their backyard. I have been shooting a lot of young children lately, which I love, but welcomed the chance to work with some tweens and high school students!

If raising 4 boys isn't already a fulltime job, their mom is also an outstanding violin teacher! I'm not sure if she is taking on more clients, but if you are looking for a violin teacher, she is awesome!

In order from youngest to oldest...









Note for clients: If you are ordering xmas cards, please place your order ASAP = )

Beautiful 2 year old twins

I *puffy* heart these kids! Aren't they just adorable? 2 is such a busy age. They were willing to share all their toys with me... cars, cowboy hats, ball glove, Basil the doll, etc... 2 is such a busy age. C & D - I bet there are days you go to bed exhausted!

Here is a little peak...

Miss R - she has the bluest of blue eyes!


Sitting pretty in her xmas dress.


Mr. A - Peek-a-boo, my camera sees you!


So handsome!
