Our Background

Husband and wife photography team, Gabe and Jennifer Hillebrand, have a combined 20-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 are Lifestyle Portrait Photographers and Wedding Photojournalists. Stepping into your world, we photograph you in your environment, your life, your style. We are inspired by art, fashion, nature and most importantly, you. 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.

Elizabeth & Bill

It was a relaxed and rainy Saturday morning that we met Elizabeth and Bill downtown Birmingham for their engagement session. Not only are they a beautiful couple inside and out, but they are also both razor sharp, Washington DC attorneys. Born and raised in Grosse Pointe, Elizabeth met Bill in law school and now the two reside on the east coast, just outside of DC. We love how fun and laid back they are, not to mention that they were cool with doing their session in the rain. And, apparently, rain is a theme in their relationship, so it worked out perfectly! Many thanks to Lindsey Nartker Designs for loaning us one of their cute umbrellas, which added so much style and character to the photos! We loved having the opportunity to do something new and different and are so pleased with the final images. Elizabeth and Bill: we are so looking forward to your wedding this September! You guys are awesome and we can’t wait to see you again soon! Enjoy a few of our favorite images below and don’t forget to link to the slide show at the end!
