WELCOME TO JILL HAYS PHOTOGRAPHY

VIBRANT PORTRAITS THAT CELEBRATE LIFE'S JOY

Hi, I'm Jill - the photographer behind Jill Hays Photography. I’m based in Austin, Texas, and for the past 25 years, I’ve had the joy of creating timeless, elegant portraits for families and individuals throughout Austin, Cedar Park, Leander, Round Rock, and Georgetown.

At Jill Hays Photography, everything I do is centered around a personalized experience. I take the time to truly listen to what you’re looking for, guide you through the process, and create a space where you can relax and feel at ease in front of the camera. Whether we’re working on location or in my home studio, my sessions are always calm, intentional, and centered on connection.

ABOUT JILL

I often hear that my style is simple, clean, and elegant—an aesthetic I love and naturally lean into.

For me, it’s not about chasing trends or getting the most poses. It’s about creating images that feel like you and that hold meaning long after the moment has passed.

If you’re looking for portraits that reflect your story with warmth and honesty, I’d love to work with you.

Welcome. I’m so glad you’re here.

KIND WORDS

"I COULDN'T RECOMMEND HER ENOUGH!!!"

Jill has been beautifully capturing the important moments of our lives for years now. She is a calm and observant presence at photo shoots, which works really well with small children and adults alike. I am always impressed by the moments she is able to catch on film. We always get rave reviews for our holiday cards as a result! Finally, her turn around times are great; she's flexible with times and locations; and, she's reasonably priced. I couldn't recommend her enough!!!

Senior Portrait Session

I just love taking senior portraits and was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to work with this awesome young lady a few weeks ago.

Images From A Recent Shoot

Emma and John make such a beautiful couple and their dogs are just the sweetest. These pups were surprisingly cooperative subjects, but they still kept us on our toes and made for lots of laughs!
