Hillebrand Photography Blog bio picture

Our Background

Husband and wife photography team, Gabe and Jennifer Hillebrand, have a combined 30-plus year history in fine art and photojournalistic photography.

Jennifer grew up in Metro Detroit and has a Bachelor of Arts from the fine and performing arts school, Emerson College located in Boston, Massachusetts. There, she studied Photography, Theatre, and Writing. No stranger to the entertainment industry and having worked commercially as a print model and actress, Jennifer began her photography career in Boston photographing celebrity musicians, album covers for bands, and portfolios for aspiring actors and models.

Born in and raised in one of the nation's most art-centric regions, the twin cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Gabe attended Bethel University where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art and Art History. From there, he made his way to Michigan to attend the internationally renowned Cranbrook Academy of Art where he earned his Master of Fine Arts, was selected to have his photography featured at the Hudson Valley of Contemporary Art in New York, and married Jennifer.

Our Style of Photography

We specialize in wedding photojournalism, lifestyle portraiture, fashion and editorial-style photography.  Stepping into your world, we photograph you in your environment, your life, your style. We are inspired by art, fashion, nature and most importantly, our subjects. We love uncovering the elements that make each person, couple, or family distinct from the next. Using the camera, it's our goal to see and to show those profound and beautiful things.

The end result? Photographs that are unique. Photographs that are you.

Hollie & Dan’s Engagement Session

Meet Hollie and Dan, one of our 2010 wedding couples! They’re a hilarious and fun duo who are tying the knot sometime this coming summer. Hollie is a recent grad of Oakland University with a degree in Art Education, and yes, she is in the job market if your K-12 school needs an art teacher anytime soon!  Dan is an Irish-American, smarty-pants engineer.  One right-brained + one left-brained = a balanced pair.  (Gabe and I are both right-brained…I don’t even know if we have a left side. We need people like Dan in our lives.)  They love Ella Fitzgerald, Miles Davis, and fine wine. Recently, they even got to tour the California wine country! Lucky ducks. We had an absolute riot hanging out with them in downtown Royal Oak!  These two love to laugh, love to hang, and are just plain fun.  So for a good time…call Hollie and Dan.  ;) Enjoy their awesome pics!!
