Show Yourselves


It's been a year since I started this blog and I get e-mails every once in a while of people just letting me know that they look at my blog. So I decided to check my hit counter to see how many people look at my blog (I forgot I even had one). I had 100 hits in 24 hours. I'm cool, but not that cool. Nobody has that many friends. So I thought I'd see if, just this once, you all would show yourselves. You don't have to make a comment, just say hello and where you're from. If everyone does it, it should be very interesting.

If you want you can say how you found me. i.e. you know someone I know, you know someone I photographed, or you just found me blog hopping. Just whatever. I'll start.

Chandler, Arizona. I love it when you update this blog, I'm obsessed with your creativity. Does it count every time I come to your blog? Crap, I'm creepy.

Tangie Baxter said...

Oh here I am too Jill :) You know who I am and I too stalk your blog, lately it has been for a purpose--pictures of the new nugget!

Crissybug said...

I found your blog through Cicily, but also kept checking in because of the great photo shoot you did for my cousins in the previous post. Your work is incredible! I love your creativity. We just got our photos taken, but will be having a baby in March. I hope your prices don't go up because you will be the one I call for our next shoot.

Laura said...

I am in Utah. Just found you yesterday. I love photography especially people. I am loving your style. Wish you lived close enough to photograph for me. I have the canon rebel too and would love some of your tips on getting good photos. Do you use a program to edit?

Laura said...

oh and not sure how I found you... it was through another blog.

Gilbert, Arizona. Our husbands go way way back. I stalk your blog because I love seeing your family of the week and how you've captured their individual styles and personalities. And you even find a song to match. Every family’s shoot has a completely different feel. That's what makes you an artist and not just another photographer.

Mimi said...

You're my idol! But I think you knew that!

Christine said...

I'm from Utah and I think I found your blog through another photography blog but can't remember which one. I am totally motivated by your site and think you are really talented and creativity. I just got my first SLR and can't wait to start taking some fun photos. Christine

Jenny J. from Mesa. I know Onehm, Ashley, and I LOVE the pics you took of her family! I also grew up in your husbands ward a LONG time ago. I would have been very young, but my maiden name is Kleiner.

You take AMAZING pictures, by the way, and I love seeing all of the super rad things you can do with a camera!!

Jenni from Colorado....your pictures are getting better and better. I love your last shoot and location for Hy's sister's husband's family....Did I get that right?

Hi... Mesa, AZ. Spencer Jones sent us the link to your blog so we could see their family pics. Just friends of the Jones' family and love your work. You are so creative and take great pics!!

Kate said...

You have me on your side bar... I link to you through that. THANK YOU by the way for the kudos! Your photography is really looking GREAT!!!

ducklips said...

Hi Jill! This is Elise from way back, pre-marraige, pre-mission. I'm a stalker and come on occasionally to check out the new photos. You do a great job by the way.
Someday I will put my photo web site back up. First I have to decided what it is I actually want to do and if I want to keep shooting for people or just for myself and head into the art world more.
Oops, kinda turned into a story.
Thanks for sharing your talent w/ us.
