Jill grew up in the mountains of Vermont where she first learned to appreciate the beauty of nature around her and now enjoys calling North Carolina her home. She graduated with a degree in chemical engineering and worked in the environmental field to protect air quality. Jill decided it was time to pursue a new career path and document, through her photography, the innate beauty in the everyday environment. She has loved photography since her first 110 mm film camera with the rotating flash bulb. 

Combining a love of photography with the desire to capture the motion and emotion in all things, Jill brings a unique viewpoint to the ordinary. Each image is chosen for its ability to communicate a sensory response, from the aroma of fresh coffee beans to the sounds of the ocean as you take in the sunset on the Outer Banks. So take time to enjoy each photograph for the color, composition and lighting, but even more importantly, see what each evokes from your own personal experiences, memories and dreams.
