Whether it's a newborn lifestyle shoot or a full family session in the park, my goal is to make the experience fun. We all know everything it took just to get you to the shoot, from booking, picking the outfits, to convincing dad and the kids! The fun of ease of the rest is left to me.

let's tell your story
Jill has been our family photographer for 6 years! She has photographed all 3 of my kids from babies and is the best with every age! We have done it all from in home, around New Orleans and even in the hospital for our youngest birth! She gets the best shots even when I leave the shoot thinking the kids didn’t smile at all! Couldn’t recommend her enough!

I have had a wonderful experience using Jill for our family portraits! She is professional and has a warm presence about her, making her a joy to work with. She knows her locations well as to get the best lighting and backgrounds. She is especially good with children in getting them to smile and/or look at the camera to capture their personalities. Not to mention, she edits photos in a timely manner. I could go on and on about why I love working with Jill, but Ill end with the fact that I am looking forward to her capturing our family in many years to come!
Jill was truly a joy to work with. We showed up for our 20 minute shoot with 4 kids 10 and under and she immediately made us feel comfortable and embraced the chaos! At one point, we had our 6 year old dancing to the song "Baby Shark" that Jill was singing while simultaneously trying to snap a pic of our very wild two year old (who was holding a lollipop the entire time-which she had to go back and photoshop out of every single picture!!) And the pictures came out better than I hoped for!! She always made herself available for questions and was just very helpful. Will continue to have her capture sweet memories of our family in the future!

Jill, words cannot express the emotions. Super grateful for you capturing our family in this beautiful light. Lord knows what I saw happening with melting children…. then I get these pictures of beautiful smiles, and happy hearts.

We had the pleasure of working with Jill in October and November of 2023 and couldn't be happier with our experience and family photos. Jill truly goes above and beyond to make the entire shoot experience with young kids so seamless. She brings such positive energy and vibes and this makes the entire experience (from booking to shooting photos) so easy for everyone. On top of this, we were so impressed with the quality of photos and have so many family memories that we will cherish for years. Thank you Jill for being such a wonderful person to work with -- we are glad we have now found our family photographer here in NOLA!
No worries. I was a kindergarten teacher for 20 years before retiring, so leave the entertaining to me. I love kids and have a natural chemistry to make them open up. As for dad, maybe. a few drinks before hand....and no, I'm not kidding.
What is my kids and dad don't want to participate.
Yes, absolutely! I use the best printing company and their quality of products is amazing. Not only that, the turn around time is quick and ships right to your front door. I offer prints, canvas, albums, and cards. Just click on the shop in your gallery and you can order right from there.
Can I print my images through you?
For a full session I deliver around 100-150 images. For mini sessions it varies with the type of session.
How many images come with my package?
This is my favorite to talk about! I fully encourage you to dress up. Not black tie, but your Sunday best. I like mom in a beautiful flowy dress and then arrange the rest of the outfits around her's. you want to be able to sit, so nothing too short or tight. I love pastels and monotone, and avoid red, peach, and coral colors.
What should we wear for our shoot?
All galleries will be delivered by email. You will have a PDF link to instantly download your images, plus a gallery to share with family and purchase print products.
How will I receive my images?
My turnaround time is 2 weeks. I take great care in picking the best images and editing. I do not majorly photoshop any of my images. I will use it to take out unwanted objects and for minor touch ups. My editing style makes this possible.
