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.
