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.

Addyson’s 1 Year Portraits

One of our favorite parts about what we do is building relationships with our clients. We met the beautiful, kind-hearted Russo family last fall when we photographed little Addyson’s 3 month portraits. (For a flashback to that session, click here!) Recently, we had the pleasure to work with them again for Addyson’s 1 year portraits. It’s so awesome to be able to watch our babies (yes, they do start to feel like family) grow and mature over time. We’re almost as excited as the parents are when we hear that they’ve learned to walk and talk, and all the fun stuff that comes along with raising children. John and Tanya: thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of your lives and to photograph your beautiful daughter. It’s truly a joy to have you as our clients and we hope to photograph many more moments in Addyson’s life throughout the years! She’s a gorgeous little girl and we love watching her grow. There were so many amazing shots from this session, it was difficult to narrow it down for the blog so be sure to link to the slide show at the end to see even more!! Now…without further ado…enjoy Addyson’s 1 Year Portraits!
