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.

Ortiz Family Portraits

Introducing the beautiful and fun-loving Ortiz family of Rochester Hills. It was such a treat to photograph this incredibly gorgeous, dark-haired family on a lovely, snowy, December day! We want to thank P.S. Cosmetics in downtown Rochester once again for doing a fabulous make-up job on Mary Sue. This family really has a good time together and their laughter, love, and faith is evident to all who are around them. The three daughters; Emily, Anna, and Melissa, (one in high school, one in college, and one world-traveler) were an absolute riot! Especially the little one…she kept us and the rest of the bunch laughing most of the day! Mary Sue and Fernando have much to proud of in raising such delightful girls. Without further ado, here are a few of our favorite highlights from their session!
