Kind Words about Raindancer Studios & Indianapolis Photographer – Jill Howell
“Photographing a family with four young children may be a challenge for some, but not for Jill Howell with Raindancer Studios! Jill has been capturing our precious life moments on camera since I was pregnant with my third. Since then, she has done numerous family photo shoots and two newborn sessions. Watching the fusion video with the behind the scene interaction that took place during our last session brought smiles to all of our faces and tears to this momma’s eyes.

“We did the Grow With Me package with Jill, including maternity. That 1st package has turned into annual photos of our family! We have now been with Jill for 5 years! We initially chose Jill after first moving to Fishers and researching infant packages. Raindancer Studios had excellent reviews and we loved how she captured her clients. We keep going back because there has never been a picture we haven’t loved! Our daughter is comfortable with her and she doesn’t ever rush us. She gives us suggestions of what would look good, and she is always right. So much stands out…we missed our one year session and she allowed us to carry that last part of the package to our second year. She has this treasure chest in her car that kids can choose a gift after. She gives her best advice and helps make the experience the best it can be. Jill is bubbly, open to suggestions, good with kids, loving, genuine, and honest. We always walk away happy! Even when Jill takes her candid shots and you’re not sure what she is capturing, we get the pictures and are blown away! She has an eye for capturing what you wanted! Our favorite pictures are the “real life” shots of our daughter- all the things she does that make her unique!” -Jessica

“Working with Jill was amazing! There are so many details you have to worry about when planning your wedding and Jill took some of that pressure off us by being so prepared, organized and easy to work with. She got to know us and really listened to what was important to us and made sure that all of our special moments were beautifully captured! She travelled to Chicago to photograph both our engagement photos and our wedding!” -Cassie & Mark

“When I had my daughter, I didn’t realize that newborns should be photographed within the first 10 days of life. I found this out when she was 2 weeks old. I googled any/all newborn photographers in the Greenwood/Indy area and emailed nearly 15 different studios to try to get something scheduled QUICK. Several of the studios didn’t even reply and a couple replied stating their price range was $1,000+ total, which was completely out of our price range. Jill replied within a day. She literally squeezed us in within that week for a newborn session and her prices were so reasonable. When we got there, Jill was so amazing to us and made us feel very comfortable. She basically even directed us on how to stand for the photos and how to hold our daughter, because being new parents we barely even knew how to hold our newborn ourselves. We also have a 2 year old that we’re adopting and Jill welcomed her with loving arms. Jill was so absolutely patient. She took her time, we didn’t feel rushed and worked so perfectly with both babies. We were SO unbelievably happy with Jill’s work that we decided to do the “Grow With Me” package. We had a 6 month session as well as a 1 year session. Having young children, our sessions have been a little hectic, but Jill has been amazing and so helpful each time. We have always received our photos very quickly, and they have always looked so natural and peaceful. Jill definitely has an eye for capturing the perfect moments. We will use Jill for all photography needs in the future and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!” -James & Nataley

“Jill has just the touch to make the wedding planning fun and stress-free. She was so organized and gave great ideas that really counted in the end. We LOVE our pictures and couldn’t have asked for a more perfect capture of my favorite day. I am so glad we went with her and I would recommend her in a heartbeat!” – Sarah (Bride)
“Jill served as photographer at a wedding and reception I coordinated. From the moment we first sat down over coffee with the bride, it was clear that she was the ultimate professional. She is passionate, fun, organized, and she strives for perfection in her work. Since that first wedding, I have had opportunity to work alongside Jill on other projects, and have grown to respect her integrity as an artist, business woman, wife and mother. Five stars in my book!” -Catherine Whittier (Wedding Coordinator)

“I couldn’t say enough about Jill and how much we love her and her pictures! We are thankful that she has been our photographer for many years now through maternity photos, 2 kids (newborn thru first year photos), whole family photos, two family weddings, and another family wedding soon to take place! The Birrer family couldn’t be blessed more by her patience and kindness, willingness to capture those memories that will last a lifetime for us. She’s wonderful with kids and my kids adore her! They love smiling for her! Thank you, Jill, for all you do!” -Michelle

“My husband and I chose Raindancer Studios for our engagement session and wedding and could not have have been more pleased. We were first drawn to Jill, honestly, for her faith and affordability. It was important to us to try to work with as many vendors who would support and understand the faith-based aspects of our wedding. Jill was so fun to work with on our engagement shoot and encouraged our personalities (we are big laughers and cuddlers, there are a ton of pictures of us laughing and snuggling up.) Working with Jill leading up to the wedding, I loved her organization and the fact that she insisted on a meeting to work details out beforehand. It made me feel like I didn’t have to be “bridezilla” and that she was invested in our wedding. Jill was encouraging and positive for the whole experience and we will definitely be repeat customers if we find another occasion for pictures!” -Amanda

“We love Raindancer Studios! Jill is not only our family photographer, she has become our friend. She has photographed both of our boys since they were born. We were initially drawn to her because of her amazing work, friendly personality, and gentleness with kids. Over the years, Jill has captured beautiful, timeless, and poignant moments of our family that we will treasure forever. We cannot recommend her highly enough.” -Erin & Darin

“I want to share what a wonderful experience we had with Raindancer Studios and Jill Howell. I knew Jill from teaching her daughter piano lessons and when I found myself engaged and looking for a professional photographer, she was my obvious choice. She is a sweet, trustworthy and competent woman! She met with me and my (now) wife to get to know us and our desires. She was so very thorough with family backgrounds and what our needs for that occasion would be. I had no worries about her being there on time, getting all the shots we wanted and being creative. She was all of that and we have the most beautiful wedding photos we could have ever wished for. Thank you Jill!” -Charlene

We’ve been using Raindancer Studios for two years now! Jill has photographed our family several times as we’ve grown. She is so patient and passionate about her work! Photographing two kiddos under two is impossible for me, but she makes it look easy! I strongly recommend Raindancer Studios!!! -Katy

“We are so thankful for Jill! We first met a couple of years ago when she squeezed our huge family in last minute and gave us precious, irreplaceable memories. Then, she was willing to fly all the way to Alabama to shoot Tony’s and my wedding. I do not really have the words to express how her care, compassion, joy, fun, and flexibility truly made our wedding day so amazing! Tony, who really hates pictures, said that Jill made it fun and painless! 🙂 The pictures truly captured the joy of that amazing day, and are such a treasure to have. She will always be our first choice for any future family pics. Thank you, Jill, for all the precious memories and fun times!” -Tony & Deborah
