As a second generation photographer, Jarod photographs with years of experience, and a huge heart for capturing the true authenticity of each moment. Creating timeless, natural images filled with emotion and movement. The goal is to create images that you can really feel!! Every time he picks up his camera, Jarod aims to encourage you, provide subtle and comfortable direction, find that perfect light, and make sure that who you really are shines through in each image. His heart is to find the beauty in every moment, and provide a natural, editorial look to your images. He can organize a wedding day like no other, adapt to your details and day, and his years of experience bring comfort and assurance that the job will be done and done so very well.

Jarod and his family are based in Illinois, but he does travel for weddings! He can easily go from a formal wedding to a day on the lake with his fishing pole in hand! A little bit about Jarod: His father started Schilling Photography over 30 years ago! He knew from a young age he wanted to take over the business! He has a steady Faith in God and gives Him all of the glory for allowing him a career to care for people and show them how amazing they are through the lens! His wife, Julia, his daughter, Olive, and his son, Ezra are his whole world!! They go everywhere together, love to just do life with one another, there is nothing more sweet than family! He has a passion for fishing and the outdoors! He never met a stranger…he is kind, caring and loves meeting new friends, clients, and always brings life to every room he enters!! He is honest, hard working, strives for excellent customer service, and has immense talent for creating beautiful, heartfelt images that will last. This is written by his wife, Julia, so I can say these things;)!
