Jillianne Bartholomew
the photographer
I'm a Music, Lifestyle and Portrait photographer in Spokane, Washington. My style is earthy and moody; I'm all about the natural simplicity and beauty of people and the world around us. I aim to capture the candid moments in life, showcasing the pure enjoyment of whatever the day (or night) holds.
Since you're here, that means you want to know the person behind the camera:
You can call me Jillianne or Jill, I go by either! I moved to the PNW almost three years ago, & have been living in the Spokane area for over a year now. (Time sure does fly by!) I grew up in a little town called Burton, Ohio. We're known for maple syrup, Ohio's oldest fair and beautiful autumn views. To start off, I'm an introverted extrovert, a bookworm, a nerd, a plant lady, a cat mom, nature explorer and a concert junkie all in one. I love a little bit of everything, and am not afraid to embrace it. I am unapologetically myself! I'm always down for a good cup of coffee and learning something new.
I attended college at Kent State University, studied Photo-Illustration and graduated with a Bachelor's in 2016. I've been a freelance photographer for eight years now, and although I've been in the game for a while, I will continue to grow as both a photographer and person. I've definitely come into my own, however. From living in different cities, trying new styles, becoming more confident and taking more chances, I'm happy with where photography has taken me. As for my services, I'm a "Jill of all trades", if you will. I primarily photograph portraits, lifestyle events and music. However, I have a whole slew of photography experiences under my belt. I guess that's what sets me apart from others; the fact that I don't have just one set niche. I know I'm not the only photographer that works multiple avenues; we're all out here trying to make a name for ourselves all while having a common love for a beautiful form of art. The passion in this industry is forever growing and I am here for it!

With music photography, I started shooting shows in 2012. Having experience with countless music festivals, hometown shows, and tours has not only strengthened my portfolio, but also my friendships.
Through photography in general, I've met so many new friends and visited some pretty sweet places. I can't wait to keep growing as a photographer, and as an individual.
Thanks for taking the time to read all of this!
