About Jill

Describing oneself is never easy. So, I will begin with the people in my life who are always easy to talk about. My husband David and I have been married for 18 years, and I look forward to at LEAST 18 more. Together we have a fabulous son. It’s only fitting that we named him Grant as we both feel like God really does grant you the blessing of children. I may only have one child, but I pick up my slack with dogs! 3 of them at that! Hank, Emma, and Mrs. Beasley keep us laughing.

I owned More Than Dreams a children’s furniture, accessories, and gift store in Tulsa, Ok., when the photography bug hit and I began photographing children, maternity, and newborn photos in 2002. Eventually the photo bug bit harder than anything else and here I am dedicating my life to capturing the images that you will cherish for a lifetime.

Seeing things in picture form is one of my many talents. The time I spend behind the camera allows me to experience the world the way I feel it…. indescribable passion.

Two questions I get asked often are “how long have you been shooting?” and “what made you get into photography?” These two questions are rolled into one big answer.

My dad passed away 12 years ago and I realized then, that photos are so important. It’s a terrible thing to realize you have everything you will ever have of a person. BUT the good news is that God works all things together for good, and my passionate love affair of photography began. I guess you can say in some ways it was my dad’s final gift to me.

  1. You make me cry. This is a hard year for me. Your dad now gone to glory for 13 years would have been 70 April 15th. We would have been married 50 years this June 3rd.

    Those little moments of sadness hit at the most unexpected times. I can still hear in my mind him coming home from work. Opening the door and closing it, starting down the hall and going back because the door didn’t close completely. He had a unique step and I still hear it.

    I love you and want you to know that in so many way you are like him.

  2. I read the Tulsa World article and found my way to your blog today. I cannot concentrate sufficiently to work this morning because my mind is zooming and frenzied like a ball in a pinball machine. I am in the midst of battling cancer and am arguing with my insurance company today. blah blah blah. All that to say that I needed some inspiration and found it in you! Your “All Used Up” message hit the spot. Thank you!

    • Leah,
      You are exactly why I do what I do! I thank you for sharing your story with me. You have touched me with your transparency. Please allow me to send you “The All Used Up” card. If you send me your address to my email I will get that in the mail to you.
