“We are blown away with the newborn photos of my daughter and Amy’s ability to capture every perfect moment, little expression, and fleeting feature. Her studio is beautiful with any prop, headband, bonnet, backdrop, etc. you could imagine. She even saw my vision of incorporating a personal item of mine that made our session that much more special. Watching Amy work her magic with my daughter was such a wonderful and fun experience. She is truly talented, and you can tell she loves what she does because it shows in her beautiful work! Looking forward to future sessions with her!”

Sweet Honeybee Studios
Have you wanted to get a great family picture but the thought of finding outfits, bribing the kids to smile, and getting dad on board makes you go into a tizzy? Pictures shouldn’t be stressful! The first instructions you will get from Sweet Honeybee are “don’t bribe your kids, tell them you are going to play with Mrs Melissa and we don’t say cheese”. I promise you will feel at ease, have fun and maybe not even sweat (although its hard not to sweat under the New Orleans sun) they’ll be over so fast— this is the part the dads love most! I invite you to experience a session with Sweet Honeybee.
Melissa Jurisich, owner of Sweet Honeybee Studios, is a New Orleans area photographer specializing in family photography: maternity, birth, newborn, children, and families. The studio is conveniently located just 6 miles from the French Quarter in Old Arabi but Melissa travels anywhere in the New Orleans metro area. Sweet Honeybee loves being there from the beginning through each milestone of your growing family- from the moment your bump arrives, in the hospital for the last push capturing your sweet one entering into the world, creating a unique setup to record their new tiny toes & sweet lips just 7-10 days old, smashing their first birthday cake, or marking their transformation into a young lady/gentleman just before they lose their baby face as a teenager.

Jillian Marie Photography
Now booking Fall, Holiday shoots, In-home Documentary and more for 2022 & 2023!
THE EXPERIENCE: We prioritize a seamless experience from booking to delivery. Upon booking, we will carefully curate a unique and memorable experience among one of the many beautiful natural backdrops the Greater New Orleans area has to offer. 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. While on location, your comfort is key. An ideal session is one where we have 2 hours together to use your home, as well as a destination your family enjoys, to create beautiful memories with your krewe. The full session allows time for the children to be themselves and forget about the camera, making the connection much easier. 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 (5) and Junior (6) 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 capture your family’s spirit. Her subtle 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. They love to play volleyball twice a week at Coconut Beach! Her favorite part about being out there is watching the sky change from white and blue to orange, pink, and purple, and sharing these picturesque moments with her family.
THE FEEDBACK: “I can’t say enough good things about Jillian of Jillian Marie Photography. She was professional, sweet and very responsive during the booking process. In this day and age flexibility is SO KEY for most of us and she truly puts her clients first in that regard. This was also our first shoot with live animals so I was so relieved when my little was told exactly what to do both before and during the session. It was a great experience and we can’t wait for our upcoming shoot for the holidays. There are a ton of photographers to choose from but if you are in the Greater New Orleans area, I highly suggest booking with JMP. You won’t regret it!” — Rachael G.

“There is an astonishing and breathtaking genuine vibe portrayed in all of Erika’s photos. The images she produces provide such a beautiful tone. The photos are raw. They are full of emotion. They are genuine. They are real. And most importantly, they are us.”
