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.

Lauren & Jeff’s Engagement Session

Meet Lauren (artist) and Jeff (engineer). They are an awesome and couple who are getting married this July. We really love that they have a laid-back, outdoorsy thing going on combined with some serious sassy-ness and artistry! We also really love the way they love and look at each other. And did I mention, their PUPPY?? Little Ari will absolutely melt your heart. You don’t have a choice. One look at her and she owns you. (I’m a huge fan of dogs. And puppies? Well, the cuteness is almost too much for me to handle.) So we also got some fun “family photos” with mom, dad and pup. Needless to say, it was a blast hanging out them and capturing the different facets of their personalities as individuals and as a couple. It was really difficult to choose our favorites because there are just so many good ones! So have fun checking out their smokin’ highlights below and click the link at the bottom to see the rest!

For instance, this woman is so sassy in some of these pics. I can almost hear the crazy music in the background as she shows how strong and beautiful she is. Totally cool.
