Holiday Card Photo Sessions in New Orleans! 2026

​

The holiday season has a way of reminding us how quickly these years pass. Our limited fall sessions are designed for families who want beautiful, authentic portraits without the time commitment of a full custom session.

 

In just 15 minutes, Jillian will use her experience and expertise to guide your family through variations of the family efficiently with natural posing. With over 15 years of experience photographing families, she knows how to create genuine connection, flattering light, and a gallery filled with both posed portraits and candid moments, giving you a variety of images to choose from without creating overwhelm.

 

Whether you're updating your holiday cards, preserving this season of life, or creating gifts for loved ones, these sessions are designed to deliver timeless images you'll treasure long after the holidays have passed.

​

📸 THE SESSION

Let’s meet at a classic New Orleans location for a 15-minute mini session that packs in variety and personality.

• Jillian will coordinate with the first booking client of each day to determine the location.

• Each session includes a mix of posed and candid images with gentle direction.

• Our goal: one perfect “everyone-looking” shot + authentic, joyful moments.

• Great for immediate families and couples.

• Friendly dogs are welcome. Just give Jillian a heads-up!

Note: If you'd like to schedule an extended family session, visit www.jmpnola.com/family to inquire.
