hello, nice to meet you.

We're illuminare photography + cinematography and this blog/website serves as our initial meeting ground, allowing you to get to know us and our work a little better.  While we have a portfolio section and frequently post blog highlights from our weddings and portrait shoots, we also keep the blog rolling with a bunch of various photos and videos that we do for ourselves when we're out just having a good time.  We feel that it's important to share this side of ourselves and allow you to see who we are, how we work, and what we think is cool. 

So sit back, relax and have fun browsing around!  And if you feel that we'd be a good match for you, we'd love to hear from you!

Jillian Cuteness

OK, her last name is Jaggi, she is my little niece, but her middle name should have been cuteness, because that is exactly what she is… a big bundle of cuteness!:) Someone please tell me how it is possible that three months have come and gone since this little angel was born!
