Jillian Marie Photography
THE EXPERIENCE: We prioritize a seamless experience from booking to delivery. Upon booking, we will carefully curate a unique and memorable experience among either one of the many beautiful natural backdrops the Greater New Orleans area has to offer, or our beautiful studio in Mid-City. From city scapes, to waterfront, to fields of flowers, or to the distinct architecture of our area, we will select the perfect location to enhance your vision. An ideal session is a location that has memory or meaning to your life, a destination your family enjoys, and/or to create beautiful memories with your krewe. After many hours of curating your gallery comes the final reveal. It is our absolute pleasure to create and document a memorable experience for your family that you will be able to keep for generations to come.
THE PHOTOGRAPHER: The photographer, Jillian, is mom to Casey (7) and Junior (9) and wife to her high school sweetheart, Bruce. Her passion for photography began at a young age, where she always had a camera in hand, whether it was fun photoshoots with friends or pictures of her baby nephews. These days, her passion centers around helping families document their own individual stories. The lifestyle family session centers around taking your family on an adventure to tell the story that captures your family’s spirit. Her direction while capturing your experience creates a glow far better than any filter. Her all-time favorite sessions are maternity sessions! Creating a life inside of your body is both incredibly challenging and amazing, and it is such an honor to photograph this beautiful, momentous part of a woman’s life! When she’s not busy photographing, you’ll find her family doing something outdoorsy. Her favorite part about being outdoors is watching the sky change from white and blue to orange, pink, and purple, and sharing these picturesque moments with her family.

“My home is basically a gallery of Jillian Marie Photography. She captures beauty even when I’m unsure if that’s possible due to toddler behavior. All our big milestones in our marriage from buying a home, our wedding, to our birth of our oldest and her entire first year has been captured perfectly. If you’re in need of a photographer, I cannot recommend Jillian enough.” – Denise M.
“Jillian was kind, professional, and quick to understand that I wanted her to capture the love and happiness of our event. She was completely unobtrusive and was wonderful to work with.
