Jillian F. Hocker

creator. Artist. ADVENTURER.

HELLO. I'M JILLIAN. I LOVE BEING A PHOTOGRAPHER, I LOVE LOVE, AND I LOVE THAT YOU'RE INTERESTED IN MY WORK. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO LEARN A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME AND MY BRAND. 

THERE IS AN ALCHEMY IN CAPTURING THE ACTION, THE SPIRIT, THE EMOTION, AND THE CELEBRATION OF YOUR MOST MEANINGFUL MOMENTS IN A WAY THAT'S TRULY AUTHENTIC TO YOU. TO DO IT BEST TAKES FINDING A PHOTOGRAPHER THAT YOU CONNECT WITH, SO YOU CAN BE COMFORTABLE IN THE PROCESS, FULLY PRESENT IN YOUR MOMENTS, AND CONFIDENT THAT THE PHOTOS WILL TELL THE STORY. I INVEST MYSELF IN MY CLIENTS, A PARTNERSHIP IS A TWO WAY STREET.

SO WHO AM I? MY FAVORITE THING IN THE WORLD NEXT TO PHOTOGRAPHY IS MAKING PEOPLE LAUGH. GENUINE, WHOLE BELLY FILLING LAUGH. I LOVE TO EXPLORE NEW PLACES AND PLACES I'VE BEEN TO A HUNDRED TIMES. FINDING SOME NEW DETAIL IN SOMETHING YOU'VE SEEN SO MANY TIMES BEFORE IS A REALLY COOL FEELING. I'M SURE YOU KNOW IT. ANIMAL LOVER, COFFEE OVER INDULDGER, EXPLORER, CONTEMPLATOR, DOG MOM,  AND SOCCER NUT. WHEN IN SEASON, I'M PLAYING 4 TO 5 DAYS A WEEK, SO WHEN I SAY NUT, I REALLY MEAN A BIT OVER THE TOP.

​DO WHAT YOU LOVE, RIGHT? OVERDO WHAT YOU LOVE. AND LOVE A LOT.
