The ART of Being Seen!
Authentic Portraiture reflecting not just how you look… but how you FEEL!
JILL DOHERTY PORTRAIT
Boutique Studio and Fine Art
Soulful black-and-white portraits & fine art rooted in presence, emotion, and authenticity.
Welcome! I’m so happy you are here!
Has it been a while since you truly looked at yourself with grace and kindness? Not through the lens of expectations—but through the eyes of LOVE.
What if today was the day that shifted everything? The day you began to see yourself differently...
To celebrate who you are—not who you were, or who you think you should be.
Just you. As you are. Right now.
It was last year when the shift happened for me. I was inspired by the Raw Portrait movement to really SEE myself and I began taking a series of black-and-white self-portraits. Nothing fancy—just me, as I am, on a regular day. And that’s when a new perspective emerged. Through the lens, I saw myself differently.
With more acceptance. More peace. More love.
Ahhh…finally!
That journey inspired what I now call Just BE—a raw, candid-style black-and-white portrait EXPERIENCE where you’re invited to show up exactly as you are... to simply, just BE. This liberating process is about presence, not perfection.
I gently guide you through an experience where you’re seen—truly seen—without filters, without unnatural posing.
Together, we create portraits that become soulful reminders of your authenticity. Images that honor your story, your essence—and that become legacy pieces your loved ones will treasure for generations.
While Just BE is the heart of my work, it’s not the whole story.
As an artist, I also offer timeless Boudoir & Maternity portrait sessions—each guided by the same values of soulful presence, ease, and black-and-white simplicity. And through my Fine Art seascapes and landscapes, I reflect the emotional beauty of the natural world, offering a visual pause in the pace of everyday life.
I create all of this from the same space—from a place of love, deep appreciation, and a heartfelt belief in the beauty that exists in every soul and every scene.
This is so much more than photography! This is ART for the soul!
CLIENT LOVE
“From start to finish, the experience was incredible! I felt safe, comfortable, and cared for. Jill put me more and more at ease with each moment, offering direction, prompts, music, and aromatic candles that made me feel like the object of deep admiration. She gave guidance, but also allowed the flexibility for me to do karate kicks, handstands, and silly faces. I laughed, I danced, I shimmied, always feeling safe to be vulnerable in front of the camera.
And the photos! There were SO many good ones to choose from! It was so hard to narrow them down! She used conversation to highlight my inner beauty and natural light to highlight the outer beauty. She allowed my personality to shine in gorgeous black and white. I was surprised at how much beauty she saw in me and how she guided me to view my body non-judgmentally.
Jill let me Just BE! I highly recommend this incredible experience!”
