Hi, I’m Jille

Personal portrait enjoying New Zealand's landscapes.

My cinematic style of photography is inspired by drama and how cinematography can affect storytelling. I am naturally reflective and emotional, and that’s what I tend to convey in my photography. With my editing, I bring out and enhance the emotion displayed in every image — the joy of togetherness, the bittersweet nature of fleeting time.

Below you’ll find the ways we can work together. I would love to help you preserve the special moments in your life.

    Freezing time and preserving special memories with your loved ones.

  • "Jille did our engagement shoot for us and we are SO HAPPY with how the pictures turned out. The whole photoshoot experience was super relaxed and fun. Jille gave us some poses and movements to do and we suggested some ideas of our own. It was very collaborative. We shared some pictures with some friends and family and they loved them just as much as we did. Thank you so much Jille for capturing this special milestone for us. We are so grateful."

The photos turned out stunning and will be so special for us for the rest of our lives. Jille has such an attention to detail and even went the extra mile with photoshopping out any excessive tire marks. Huge thanks!!"
