It would paint a beautiful picture if we could say that Jill Paurus spent her whole life pursuing the goal of someday being one of the most sought after photographers in North Dakota. But the truth is, the whole thing sort of happened by accident. A happy sort of accident.

With a specialized degree and years of experience in Architectural and Interior Design it makes one wonder how a path would lead to such a career change, and a sucessful one at that!

Paurus Design actually started out as a boutique graphic design firm and out of sheer frustration, (and lack of photographers who not only had the set up for highly stylized photography but who had the time to complete jobs on her schedule) Jill sought out other options. Following true form of a German blooded farm girl...she did it her self and has been "funking" up this side of the state ever since then.

With clients all over the country and next summer...the world, Jill has created a crazy sort of buzz and set the bar just a bit higher in this industry.
