Jill is absolutely amazing! I’m so so happy we found her and got to have her photograph our wedding. She was very attentive throughout the whole process. She took the time to get to know us and our story. She always responded immediately to any emails or questions we had. She arrived early on the day of the wedding and captured amazing detail shots of our venue. She is extremely talented and her bright and natural style is exactly what I envisioned!! Our wedding guests couldn’t stop raving about how friendly and great she was. She even took the time to learn most of our family's names. Everyone was so impressed. Jill was amazing at directing everyone in the group photos and made posing feel natural and comfortable. She delivered the photos early and we had even gotten some sneak peeks the night of the wedding!! The gallery she sent is gorgeous and there are so many pictures so we get the complete memory of our big day. We couldn't be any happier. We highly recommend her for photographing any occasion.

Looking for a photographer you can trust to capture your wedding can be the most daunting task in the planning process. When we first started looking for photographers, Jill's website stood out substantially from her competition and when we met her, she was even more extraordinary. Not only was she amazing to work with on the wedding and the months leading up to it, she is one of the sweetest and most genuine people I have ever met. She met and exceed every expectation we had or could have thought of. She was readily available for questions or to bounce ideas off of. She is someone you can trust wholeheartedly to capture and re-tell the beautiful story of your wedding. Her second photographer and assistant were outstanding as well! While Jill concentrated on capturing us, her 2nd photographer was darting around the reception capturing all the guests reactions and special moments. There was nothing left out in the over 1,000 photos we received from her. Recently, she added a photobooth to her services and not only did we love it, our guests had a blast with it!! And I think her husband had even more of a blast running it! There is no question that Half a Rice Studio is a top-tier photography crew with an immense passion for their career and unmatched skills in photography! More...

Jill's pictures are all I wanted and more. She captured the simplicity of every detail, every smile, every emotion. Jill was punctual, caring and very easy to communicate with.

Jill did a family photo shoot for us 2 weeks ago (yes 2 WEEKS) and we absolutely loved both her and her work. We have been known Jill for years through a mutual friend but never had a chance to work with her. Jill’s approach just blending in with our family and capturing candid moments was exactly what we were looking for. The results absolutely beautiful shots that show our toddler’s personality. During the shoot, she was very patient and easy going, always willing to accommodate what my son needed (he is pretty active boy who run around non stop). She does a very great job capturing moments within my family that I will treasure forever! More...

Jill is amazing!!! She is very detailed, creative, energetic, professional, prompt, skilled, and sweet as can be. She delivered 600 edited photos from my wedding in a matter of three days! The photos were outstanding, and magical, they brought me tears of joy, and plenty of laughter. Most of the night was a blur because it all happens so fast and I was wishing I had a videographer until I looked at her photos, there was no need for one with Jill there to capture every moment. Leading up to the big day, she was very good at communicating with me, I never had to wait long for a reply. Hands down best decision I made for my wedding. I will always recommend her for anyone and anything. My forever photographer! Thank you a million times Jill! More...

My family had outdoor family session with Jillian last April. I really like her professional attitude. She gave us many good ideas and worked for a full session that was longer than that we set out to do because we were not familiar with different locations. And she is especially patient with us when we were handling our kid. But most importantly she paid a lot of attention to every small detail in order to make great photos. You can tell she really cares about your experience with the photo session as much as you do. Highly recommend Jillian for photography � More...

Jill is fantastic! Before the session, I felt confident with Jill’s work product based on her portfolio, but I was a little nervous that she would meet my teenage daughter’s extremely high expectations for her senior pics.

I don’t even know where to begin! Jill was such a pleasure to work with. She made me and my husband feel completely comfortable throughout the entire process – like we have been friends for years! She stayed in constant communication with me to ensure that every detail was taken care of. She put time into getting to know me and my husband, and captured our story and personalities in every photo she took. Very personable, outgoing and a joy to take pictures with. By wedding day, I felt like Jill was one of our guests, not just our photographer. We were so anxious to see the pictures she captured on our special day, and we were almost in tears watching the sweet slideshow she prepared for us! The pictures were amazing! Every one of them. As we went through each photo, it felt like we were there, reliving our wedding day. Jill is extremely talented and I couldn’t recommend her more. If you’re shopping for a photographer, you have found the one! I can’t wait for her to take our family pictures one day We have found a photographer for life! (Side note: Jill also did our engagement photos, and those were not only a blast to take, but the pictures turned out incredible!

Jill is a dear friend of mine since first grade. But that’s not the reason I had her take my wedding photos, I just want to show off that fact, because if she’s not a great photographer I wouldn’t fly her from Texas to California for my wedding, I could have picked someone local. And how often do you see a photographer that gets to eat lobster with the groom and bride at the sweet heart table during the wedding reception? See? Told ya we were close friends :D Jill takes beautiful photos, I think I would have to go into details how beautiful it is because you can just go look at her work and you will agree with me. Now there’s a different between a good photographer and a GREAT photographer. A good photographer goes to work on time, take good photos, and deliver the photos to you on time. A great photographer will wake up early, show up early, guide you through the important day because you’ll get hammered with many things, take great photos and deliver them TWO WEEKS EARLY that when you get the photos you’d be like “Whattttt...already?” Jill is a great photographer.

Jill was also very patient. My boyfriend is the not a fan of being affectionate in public. He is also ridiculous camera shy which is always a challenge for us to have our photo taken. When we decided to do couple session for our first anniversary, I was so worried that my pictures could be glossed over and forgotten with forced smiles and awkward poses. But Jill was so friendly, helpful, professional, punctual, and very creative in every way. She made us feel completely at ease. The photos of our first anniversary beat our expectation.
