JILLIAN x SAPPHIRE
finding the beauty in anything & everything
I’ve always loved creating. Art has always been one of the ways I make sense of the world, and I’ve always had a passion for finding the beauty in anything & everything.
Becoming a mom has deepened these feelings, and helped my love for photography find its place.

HOW I GOT HERE
for my daughter, always
Motherhood
There’s something about motherhood that makes you notice the little things. The tiny hands. The sleepy smiles. The way your baby reaches for you.
My Approach
Quiet and observant. I’m drawn to the expressions, the movement, and the little interactions that make a family feel like themselves.
Why Sapphire
Sapphire was inspired by my daughter, born in September. It’s her birthstone, and she’s the reason behind so much of what photography means to me.
What I Hold Onto
I don’t want you to simply remember what life looked like. I want you to remember how it felt.
