I create visual art from connection.
Photography + cinematic film in Puerto Morelos and the Riviera Maya.
I’m Jillian, a photographer and filmmaker drawn to connection — between people, within families, in love, and behind the brands people build. My work is candid, emotive and cinematic, with just enough direction to create something beautiful without taking you out of the moment. I’m less interested in perfect poses and more interested in movement, energy and the small things that make something feel real.
Based in Puerto Morelos, Mexico, I create photography and cinematic film for couples, families, weddings, portraits and brands throughout the Riviera Maya. From intimate beach sessions and destination weddings to creative campaigns and brand content, every shoot is approached differently. The goal is never just beautiful imagery. It’s to create something that feels like you — and something you can feel when you look at it again.
What people say
We had a tremendous experience with Jillian for our family photo shoot in the Mayan Riviera! We made the quick & easy trip to the charming beachside town of Puerto Morelos, where Jillian had lots of great shooting locations scoped out for us ahead of time. The photos came out amazing and was a fun experience for the whole family, including our teenage boys! Highly recommended.

We had an amazing experience with Jillian for our maternity shoot in Puerto Morelos. She was very professional, made us feel comfortable the entire time, and truly captured our special moment perfectly. The photos came out absolutely amazing, we couldn’t be happier with the results. Highly recommend Jillian to anyone looking for a talented and reliable photographer!

Jillian was amazing! So much fun to hang out with and made the process fun! Was concerned finding someone to do photos while we are on vacation but she made everything so easy. Definitely using her again if we ever go to Puerto Morelos wanting pictures!!

Tell me what you’re imagining.
A session. A wedding. A film. A brand. Or something we haven’t thought of yet.
Tell me a little about you, what brought you here, and what you want to create. You don’t need to have the whole vision figured out — an idea, a feeling, a place, or a moment is enough to start.
I’m always open to creating something a little different. Something personal, artful, and built around what’s already there.
Based in Puerto Morelos, creating throughout the Riviera Maya and beyond.
