A Photographer, A Guide, A Mirror to Your Light

I live for the moments when I can help people on the path back home to (re)discovering their inner light.

I've been at this a while. Here's a little bit about the biz.

Jillian Joseph Photography was born.  The focus was on documenting weddings and engagements.

2011

By 2017 my husband, Joe, and I photographed hundreds of weddings in places that include our home state of Florida, Maui, Virginia, New York, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Georgia, Texas, Chicago, and more.  We were growing tired of living out of suitcases and wanted a home base and more time with the kids on the weekends.

2017

Through guidance in my meditation practice, I took the leap and opened my first studio location. I expanded into portraits as well as boudoir and Lunar Body Boudoir launched and grew quickly!

2018

I moved to my current studio location because I needed more space to serve my guests. It was my first time building out a new studio location and it was both nerve wracking and exciting!

2020

I began expanding my photography to include maternity and personal branding and I quickly fell in love with it!

2021

Tons of Local and Destination Weddings

The Journey That Led Me to You

Some call it fate, others call it intuition—but for me, the journey into photography was a calling that found me in stillness. Over seven years ago, in meditation, I received a clear inner knowing: I was meant to open a studio. At the time, I didn’t even know what genre I would focus on—all I knew was that I had to take the first step. So, I listened. And once I did, everything unfolded beautifully.

From the very beginning, I was drawn to working with women in all phases of life—women who simply wanted to feel seen, worthy, and beautiful. My sessions quickly grew into something deeper than just photography; they became a space of self-discovery, healing, and empowerment. But as my business expanded, I felt the intimacy of those early sessions slipping away. The connection, the quiet moments, the sacredness of the experience—it all became harder to hold onto amidst the rapid growth.

So, I stepped back. I took time to reflect on what truly lit me up about this work. And now, I’ve returned to my roots—back to what I love most: creating authentic connections and holding space for women to feel safe, relaxed, seen, and supported.

This isn’t just a photo session. It’s a moment of stillness, a chance to witness the light within yourself. It’s about stripping away the expectations, the roles, the masks—and seeing your true essence reflected back in the portraits we create together.

If you’re looking for more than just a photoshoot—if you’re looking for an experience that feels like a deep breath, a warm embrace, a mirror to your soul—you’re in the right place.

Let’s create something beautiful together.

With love,
