  "you have some of the purest photographs that i have ever seen. they all seem so true and real and just plain GORGEOUS. i have always admired your stream, and the way you can work with the same model but have a COMPLETELY different photograph every time is something that everyone should envy, as i do. you definitely seem to have a natural talent, and i completely and utterly love your work.

  "What I love about Jill's stream is its consistency, all her photos seem to be connected together and form a beautiful whole. I love how she portrays life in a simple yet beautiful way. I love how she uses natural lighting and nature in her backgrounds and I also love that fact that she shoots film.
  I enjoy following her 365 and check it regularly!
  
  Keep them coming Jill ;)"

  "i don't know why it took me so long to write jill a testimonial, because i've admired her work for so long!
  
  jill is definitely one of my favourites on flickr, and her 365 is one of the best i've seen on here.
  her photos remind me of the passing seasons. and especially the emotions and nostalgia that go along with them too. and the freedom you can feel by just stepping out into the cold fresh air, and being there and living in that moment, because that's all that matters."

  "Jill Willcott inspires me with every photo, she is the reason I yearned to take film pictures. Every upload has this beautiful magic about it, indescribably brilliant in every aspect. Her photostream blew me away when I first viewed it and I am continuously thrown into bewilderment each time I see her work.
  
  I also love how word attempts to autocorrect her last name to Wildcat"

  "I can honestly say, Jill was one of my first inspirations on flickr, and to this day, I get excited every time i see her in my contact notifications. She has a real eye for what makes a photo magical, and she is a sweetheart too! I will always look back to her film work for inspiration, because its freaking incredible. Jill, never stop! I hope you get to go to photography school and become the amazing famous photographer that you are, because you deserve to be recognized for it :)"

  kay rod says:

  "jill is probably the most amazing photographer on flickr. at any rate, her photostream is my absolute favorite! her photos are indescribable. each one tells its own little story. her photos look like they've come straight out of a storybook, but they also show the emotions and details of ordinary life. also, she is excellent at shooting with film!
  
  jill's photos draw the line between reality and fiction. they are so real, but yet so surreal. she is so extremely talented and yet she is also extremely sweet and friendly!
  
  i aspire to one day be able to photograph the world with the same level of elegance and beauty that she does. thank you, jill, for being such an inspiration to all of us :)"

  "Jill's photos are incredibly beautiful. Her style is so stunning and i love looking at her work. Her photostream makes me feel so relaxed because of the beautiful ways she captures the sunset and that almost-dark stage after the sunset. The way she uses her surroundings in her photos are so amazing. It just makes me want to grab my camera, go outside, and shoot ! I hope she continues to take photos because they are truly amazing :)"

  "I would like to say that Jill is my favorite singer in the entire world. That's right folks. Not only is she an awesome photographer but an excellent singer, comparable to Celine Dion and Cher I find. Her rendition of "Sympathy" by the Goo Goo Dolls is one of the best things I have ever heard. She will be a billboard top 40 hit one day.
  Loves you bitch! :)"

  "dearest jill,
  you have some pretty spiffy work! your portraits are completely unique, and just your other work in general draws my attention as well. i love the various poses and emphasis on the hair in each of the photos. the lighting and tones provide a mode for each of your photos, too. i love the feeling i get when viewing them, don't stop :)

  "Jill's photos are warmth and nostalgia and exuberance and the moments you want to stretch on forever
  Her personality always spills into them and I always always look forward to seeing what she's going to upload, because her photos always make me happy, but also frustrated because she's so darn talented :D
  I simply cannot wait to see where life takes you :)"

  "Let me just start by saying that this is the first testimonial I've been compelled to write. All of Jill's photography is amazing. It started off when I came across one of her photos in a group and I was immediately drawn into in her photostream, favorite-ing multiple photos per page. I've never looked through someones entire photostream before but Jill's truly remarkable photography made me! She is to be admired!"

  "Jill's pictures always blow me away, whether soft simple portraits, or stunning shots that capture landscapes to their full avail. She has a true eye for colour and focus, and, if she choses, has a wonderful future laid before her hands in photography.
  
  EDIT: I really have no idea how I've been missing Jill's stream for the past however long, but I just fell upon it again, and GEEEEEZE she's amazing! The light is always incredible, her angles, ahhhhh she's so good! and she's gorgeous. and one of the sweetest people ever :)"

  kara o'keefe says:

  "my last testimonial was pretty bad.
  
  i would like to begin by saying 'HAHAHAH I GET TO SHOOT WITH HER AND YOU DO NOT". (unless you are catherine but that's quite different you see because she models and models are very temperamental and demanding and divaish and all that) (je t'aime catherine)
  okay now that that's off of my chest i can get on with some slighty more sensible things.
  
  i really do love taking pictures with you jill and going to peeping bean of course. we always manage to take some cute pictures even if it's one or two. actually no that's me, you probably get about 50 but that's fine i don't hold grudges.
  
  i'm secretly thrilled your not going to toronto this year because i would miss you lots but that's not really a secret anymore is it?
  oh and please get a job at nl camera that would be rather neat i suppose.
  
  
  so pretty much if you don't like these pictures i don't like you.
  that is all."

  "When I comb through the details of her photos, I notice the way the light hits a certain thing in a certain way, and it is breathtaking. She is brunette not blonde, and the portraits she captures are so perfect it inspires me to capture such emotion."

  "okay okay okay here it goes, your photos are warm and cozy and fresh air that flows across the face of the sea in the middle of the night to meet me at my window in the morning, they're summer, with the sun playing games with shadows on my cheeks and hide and seek and being barefoot in the grass, they are elegance and the way I feel when I am running around with my friends at dusk screaming about nothing at all and it feels so good and the moment lingers on my tongue for days, I can feel it all when I see your work. These photos astound and hypnotize and you're getting better by the moment, I swear it. I love you please don't stop."

  "JILLFREAKINWILL.
  i've just recently been exposed to your WONDERFULPHOTOSTREAM.
  actually, it's been quite a while, and i don't know why i don't write testimonials often.
  anyway, GIRL. YOU ARE SO GOOD.
  i love the way you capture moments and they just make me want to be there too.
  there's something about your pictures and it just makes me feel so good
  especially the ones of your friend catherine! she's so gorgeous, there's so many of her so i thought it was you. i think you should do selfies more because giiiirly, you're so beautiful!
  people like you on flickr are the exact kind of inspiration i need and it helps me remember why i started this thing in the first place.
  it's such a beautiful thing, thank you for sharing.
  I LOVE YOU JILL! don't ever stop what you're doing :))"

  "oh haiiiiiii vietnam!! whatdayyaaatt?
  
  oh my god. oh my god. I'M SO SORRY! I WOULD JUST LIKE TO APOLOGIZE BECAUSE, I LIKE, LOOK AT YOUR PICTURES ALL THE TIME AND I NEVER EVEN LIKE SAY HI TO YOU OR LIKE COMMENT ALL THAT MUCH. SO I'D LIKE TO APOLOGIZE!!
  uhh maybe you found that last comment too creepy... I'M SO SORRY!! LET'S BE FRIENDS! OR LIKE, MORE THAN FRIENDS...maybe...
  UHH ACTUALLY, FORGET EVERYTHING I SAID...
  
  hmm hmm what should i say here? well firstly i'm your main man, the tomato and basil to your crackers, the model in your photoggss, maybe your muse..? you once said i inspire you! that must kinda make me your muse. eeee i love jill will and i'm luckier that all of you or well most of you with the exception of like kara hahah because i actually know this sweet sweet gal in person! and i have the honor of being photographed in most of her pictures! there's rarely a day in our lives that we don't hop into her car and hunt for the perfect spot where the sun shines or the streetlights are accommodating, i jump into the back seat of her car (the make shift change room) and root through garbage bags of her grandparents vintage clothes and we run around like crazy people trying to catch lil bits of life on camera before the lights gone. this is what we do. we're a team and come day we will be famous ;) there is so much more i could say so i'll leave it at this before i exceed the amount of space.
  
  now since i'm like A PROFESH testimonial writer that will be 200$ per word, even though they we're not that nice...
  
  oh p.s THE LEOTARD FIT... i mean, i love youuuu ;)"
