Finding the Best Style of Family Photography for Your Family
When selecting the perfect style of family photography that is right for your family, there are many things to consider and multiple photography styles to select from. Whether it's the timeless elegance of classic family portraiture, the spontaneous joy of lifestyle family photos, or the artistic flair of documentary-style family photography, each family photography approach offers a glimpse into the heart of the family being professionally photographed.
Calgary Headshots that Make A Statement
Your headshot is often the first impression you make - let’s make it count! As a professional headshot photographer based in Calgary, Alberta, I create compelling portrait photography that authentically represents who you are and what you bring to your industry. Whether you're an entrepreneur, corporate professional, creative, or job seeker, a polished Calgary headshot builds instant credibility and trust. Strong personal branding photography helps you stand out on LinkedIn, your website, and across all marketing platforms.
The Importance of a Professional Headshot
In today’s digital-first business world, your LinkedIn profile is often your first introduction to potential employers and clients. While a smartphone selfie might be convenient, it lacks the polish, lighting control, and expert coaching required to convey true professionalism. A grainy or poorly composed photo can unintentionally signal a lack of attention to detail. As an experienced Calgary headshot photographer, I specialize in creating high-end professional headshots that elevate your personal brand. By investing in quality headshot images, you ensure that your online presence radiates confidence, competence, and approachability—traits that a quick selfie simply cannot capture.
10 Ways to Showcase Your New Professional Headshots
Elevate your personal brand with these 10 expert tips on where to use professional corporate headshots for maximum impact. From optimizing your LinkedIn profile to enhancing email signatures and press kits, this guide by trusted Calgary corporate photographer Jillian Faulkner, reveals exactly how to turn your new headshots into a business asset that drives credibility.
Older Newborn Baby Photo Session
Sharing this handsome baby boy’s older newborn photography session that I photographed when he was 12 weeks old. Although I highly recommend coming into my studio for your newborn photo shoot when your brand-new baby is between 6 to 21 days old, I do still photograph babies at all ages.
Why Every Baby Deserves a Professional Newborn Photo Session
Trust in a professional Calgary newborn photographer to document your newborn photos at a top rated Calgary newborn photography studio. Whether you're a proud parent looking to document the precious first days of your newborn baby's life or a soon-to-be grandparent wanting to gift a unique keepsake to your child, you won't regret booking a professional newborn photo session!
Preparing for Your Photo Session with Pets
I absolutely love when clients ask to include their pets in their family photography session! Your pet after all, is part of the family and sometimes family pets can even make anxious children more relaxed in front of the camera.
