Asae and Aya

Chubby Cheeks! I LOVE little Aya's cheeks! She is tied for the "Cutest Chubby Cheeks" award! (Yes, there were two super cute chubby cheeks). Such a lovely mellow baby and I just loved her cute little hat!
Sweet mama and baby girl... so happy :)

The Lewis Family

Fun family pictures on a rainy day. This little guy, Elijah was a bundle of fun. Lots of energy and happiness. Always much better than a sad little boy :) He definitely didn't want to hold still, but we got him to hang in there long enough to get some really great shots. He did get tuckered out in the end and was definitely ready to go, but we all had a good time. He really loved Shugo until after the shoot when we let him in the room... Elijah got a little worried when daddy and Shugo started to play. Big dog and big man = a lot of ruckus. Needless to say Shugo was sad to see them go, but I think Elijah was happy to say good bye to the large doggie :)





This was nearing the end. Such a cute sad little face!
And then silliness resumed... not so close daddy!

MacMillan Family

How stinkin' cute is this little girl?! I think this is about my favorite age. Right when they can sit up, and even when they can start crawling. Walking babies are pretty cute, but something about this age is just a bit cuter to me. She was a simple girl. She wanted some food about midway through the session, but once she got some she was happy yet again. I really love photographing families. It is so sweet to get a little glimpse inside a family. This is their first little girl and it is so sweet and fun to watch parents with their first child. Parents always get all silly trying to get their child to smile. Once you have several kids, you tell the older ones to make the baby smile. I think it's more fun to watch parents be silly though :)







Daddy's little girl...

Beautiful family

The Clark's

Meet Skyler. Total cutie and one of the longest lasting babies I have ever photographed. Seriously, we went an entire hour with no melt down :) I am sure that is why I had such a difficult time narrowing it down to my usual top 10... so here's the top 14. Sky is loads of fun and the look below seemed to be one of her favorites (and mine too :)

I don't know where her mama got these wings, but they are AWESOME! They fit perfect and looked amazing. Wish they were mine cause I know someone looking at these shots is gonna want their little one with them too... I need to go shopping now, thanks Sarah :)

Awesome pushup form and she isn't even a year old!
Many favorites (obviously) but I think this might be THE favorite...









Beautiful family.

Welcome to The Joy Jill Photography Blog!

Alright! I am starting a blog just for my photography :) I figure it will be good for people to see a little snippet of what I am doing. I am going to do my best to upload the favorites from every shoot. Hopefully I will be able to keep up with it all, and this will be a great mini portfolio. So here is the best of a shoot from this weekend with Joy Jill Photography

This is the little Gilbert Baby. Literally the EASIEST baby I have ever photographed. Very happy and I had a blast photographing her. I love the images and am very happy with them :)



She loves to stick out her tongue and at least half of the images have her sticking her little tongue out... so cute!
