Jillian Betterly Photography
For the month of December we are featuring local photographer Jillian Betterly.
Jillian’s is known to work within the central idea of creating a moment that stands alone. Using her favorite tool of the trade, in digital format, she’s excellent at capturing moments that relate to viewers of all ages.
While studying at the Northern Michigan University School of Art and Design, Jillian came to understand the importance of documenting life in the present tense. When her schooling was completed, she moved back to the Copper Country to study historical businesses and their current visual effect on our community. Jillian's first "still" documentary was Lindell's restaurant in Lake Linden. She also can be found working on various new projects, from family portraits, fashion, and commercial shoots.
Her work can be viewed at the Keweenaw Brewing Company in Houghton or through her Smugmug Web page.
Jillan can be contacted through her Smugmug page or, for the month of December, Jillian will be at the new state of the art computer controlled Ladybug Digital photography studio in downtown Hancock, taking portrait pictures. It’s affordable and the ONLY studio in town that prints pictures right on the spot. Call Ladybug Digital at 482-7800.
The Waves of November
Winter's blanket of white now covers the Copper Country, but we take a moment to look back at the waves of November on Lake Superior. Lady Superior displays her fierce side as fall heads into Winter on the big lake we call Gitchee Gumee.
