You guys know how much I love my sunny and glowy photos. I look for that sun every time to make those sunkissed photos. I was so happy that during Carly’s sunkissed senior photos in Wichita we had plenty of sun. Add that gorgeous red hair of hers and we have just have goddess vibes. […]

The best way to rid yourself of nerves before an event that makes you anxious is to be totally prepared.

On August 12, 2012, I created the Facebook page Jeanize Cilliers Photography. For the pure reason of creating an avenue for strangers to contact me because the constant requests I was getting from strangers to add me as a friend was getting ridiculous. Back then you had to be a friend to message them directly. […]

I’ve been booking quite a few of these extended family sessions and let me tell you a secret that you may not expect. They are the hardest session. Not for me, but for you. Yup, you heard me. Big groups of people and getting them posed, is not a problem for me. I shoot weddings […]

I probably get at least 2 inquiries a week asking about newborn sessions and I tell everyone this same thing. I don’t shoot pure newborn photography anymore. What I do now are newborn lifestyle photography. These sessions are more focused on the whole family. Snuggling, cuddling and loving on new baby while you are at […]

I have realized that once I have an idea for a set, I won’t stop thinking about it until I do it. So I have been thinking about doing plant mini sessions since a month or two ago. I got obsessed with indoor plants in 2021 and well it has been become an addiction or […]

Having Jesse in his spot, I walked back to go get Julie for their first look. They were having a small, intimate wedding in Wichita, Kansas at Hyde Park, so I wasn’t too worried about additional spectators. Boy, was I wrong. I had asked them if they wanted their children watching, and they said they […]
