Who am I?<\/span><\/p>\n

My name is Jill Dolby and I am the owner of LoJo Photography.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I opened LoJo Photography, Canberra Newborn Photography, in 2011 and have been capturing memories for my clients ever since.<\/p>\n

I am married to Graham and have two children, Joshua and Charlotte. LoJo Photography is named for my children – the “Lo” comes from Lotte which is my nickname for my daughter and the “Jo” for Joshua.<\/p>\n

\"Kids\"<\/p>\n

I specialise in maternity and newborn photography because they are the genres that I love.\u00a0 That being said, I adore being able to take images for my clients on an ongoing basis to capture their families as they grow and change.<\/p>\n

I am fully immunised and insured.<\/p>\n

I first picked up a camera in the 1980s while still at school. I decided that I wasn’t very creative and moving into University I focused more on my academic pursuits.\u00a0 In the early 2000’s I had an RSI injury which made me re-evaulate how I spent my time.\u00a0 In my period off work I took up quilting and discovered a love of colour and creating.\u00a0 My son was born in 2006 and as a result of his birth I bought my first DSLR – having been used a point and shoot prior to this.<\/p>\n

I rediscovered my love of photography in 2009 when my daughter was born, I found myself getting more serious about my photography and taking some workshops with visiting photographers.\u00a0 In 2011 I commenced a Diploma of Photography which I graduated from in 2012.<\/p>\n

My focus on maternity and newborn portraiture grew as I took more and more photography courses.\u00a0 I love the new-ness associated with a baby, I love the smell, the tiny fingers and toes and the noises they may when they sleep.\u00a0 I treat each baby I photograph as if they were my own.\u00a0 I ensure I am up to date on the latest baby safety when it comes to posing your little ones and would never put a baby in a position where I felt they were in danger.<\/p>\n
