Jillian Marie Photography

Now booking Fall, Holiday shoots, In-home Documentary and more.

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.

Erika Parker Portraits

Timeless imagery… with all the feels.

“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.”

I capture 100% of my portraits on film. In choosing a traditional medium, I feel it creates a deeper connection with the person and the moment. I love giggles, and deep hugs, and images that make you feel something…real. For me, a perfect portrait is one that’s an authentic reflection of you and your family.
