about jill schardt photography
I am a daughter, a sister, a wife, a mother, a friend and a photographer. All of these connections in my life greatly enhance how I capture these relationships and preserve moments for my clients.
I studied film photography at Princeton University, then I spent several years on Wall Street working in investment banking. Needless to say I eventually made it back to my true passion, photography.
I have always been an athlete, played Division I lacrosse, and love everything fitness and wellness and most mornings you will find me in one of my favorite classes! If I am not at a workout class my other love is the beach! It truly is my family's happy place and you can find us on the NJ coastline for most of the summer!
In 2018 my family reached another milestone, we purchased a beach home at the NJ shore, and Jill Schardt Beach was born!
I can't wait to meet you and preserve your family memories for years to come!
