Let’s meet at a classic New Orleans location for a 20-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!
