A PRAYER FOR LOVE
This February and March jookie presents A PRAYER FOR LOVE, a unique, art driven
Valentine (and St. Patty's Day adjacent) portrait event inspired by
current pop culture, RE|Dance Group's 15th anniversary performance... and LOVE, of course.
Whether it's for yourself, your Galentine, Valentine, or Palentine, your love of Irish heritage and Chicago traditions like turning the river green, we invite you to come play with us at the jookie studio!
This is a portrait offering that both embraces and defies any particular holiday, reminding us that every day is a good day to have a good day - and to celebrate it with wicked cool photos.
Starting Valentine/President's weekend, we have openings on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and some Sundays, both day and evening times.
A portion of each session will benefit RE|Dance Group's 15th anniversary year.
Video
Choose from a variety of background themes:
EMERALD CITY - a palette of mostly green and some golds, inspired by the land of Oz. Includes the option to change your skin green in every 3rd or 4th photo in homage to our favorite wicked witch.
ARE YOU THERE, GOD? - featuring sunlit windows and and light-dappled walls, this is a tribue to RE|Dance Group's 15th anniversary performance A Glimpse Through the Walls that We Might Find God, created by Michael Estanich, RE|Dance Group co-founder.
SEEING STARS - a compilation of dark backgrounds with glowing, sparkly lights and stars to evoke a romantic date.
THE GOOD WITCH - a soft, muted mix of pink-driven backgrounds to keep things light and sweet. It's quite gah-lorious. (not yet included in video as of 02-07/25, coming soon!)

Testimonials
It was such a wonderful experience working with Jill! She is creative, communicates clearly, and creates stunning portraits. I felt very comfortable being in front of the camera thanks to her expertise and guidance. Her studio has all the amenities you may need and is conveniently located. I highly recommend anyone needing portrait work to reach out to her!

When JIll asked me to help her out for an experimental new lighting set-up she was working with, I was up for it even though I dislike having my photo taken and didn’t know if I would like any of the images. Upon arriving she instantly put me at ease. Not only was it fun, but I actually really like so many of the photos. I highly recommend her if you want new portraits of yourself that sets you apart from the others. Jill is an amazing person and photographer!
