Luxury Printed Portraits & Heirloom Products
Because the Best Family Photos Deserve More Than a Hard Drive
I create family portraits that belong on your walls — not buried in a digital folder you'll never open. Jillian Faulkner Photography is a print-first Calgary portrait studio specializing in museum-quality wall portraits, handcrafted heirloom albums and curated gallery wall collections. Every product I offer is made with archival-quality materials built to last a lifetime and beyond.
Our process makes it effortless:
Plan — Together we design your session around your family, your style and your home
Photograph — A relaxed, expertly guided session in my downtown photo studio or at your favourite outdoor location
Select — An in-person viewing and ordering appointment where you select your favourite images and print products
Display — Finished, professionally crafted products delivered ready to hang and enjoy
No guesswork. No overwhelming digital galleries with hundreds of unedited files. Just beautiful, finished artwork you'll be proud to display.
You blink and they've grown another inch!
Family photography isn't about perfect outfits, it's about freezing that special moment in time that you'll want to relive over and over again - the way your toddler grabs your face, the way your teenager still leans into you, the chaos and the calm that make your family yours.
My family sessions — available in studio or outdoors across Calgary — are relaxed, guided and built around your family's real personality. I handle the posing, the prompts and the details so you can just show up and enjoy the experience. These are the portraits that end up on your wall, not lost on your phone.
A great headshot doesn't just show what you look like. It shows who you are!
At Jillian Faulkner Photography, I create professional headshots for Calgary business professionals, entrepreneurs and corporate teams — images that are polished, natural and unmistakably you. My studio sessions are relaxed, fully guided and designed to deliver results you'll actually be proud to use. Expert posing direction, professional lighting, multiple looks and fast turnaround — everything you need, nothing you don't.
On-location corporate sessions also available across Calgary and surrounding areas.
