The Tabor Family

Jillian is a joy to work with. Not only is she a talented photographer, she is also warm and welcoming, making you feel very comfortable for your photography session. Jillian captured perfect images of my newborn when he was just a week old. She worked with him so well, keeping him calm and content. I will definitely be returning for any professional photos I want done in the future!

Erin Mills

I absolutely loved working with Jillian! She was extremely organized, professional, and kind from start to finish. My favourite thing about working with her was honestly her bubbly and kind personality. It made the whole experience that much more enjoyable. She truly went above and beyond for the presentation of my session images! Her home studio was extremely clean and well-decorated for starters. The slideshow was a beautiful way to present the images and I felt like I was at a 5-star hotel with the comfortable couch and beverage from the mini fridge. I am also so happy with the photos I ordered. I look like the best version of me! I cannot recommend Jillian enough! This was such a fun experience and I would highly encourage anyone who is considering professional photography to contact Jillian. She is not just a photographer, she really does take the time to understand what you are envisioning, and then combines that with her creativity to bring that vision to life!

My husband and I recently welcomed a baby girl into our lives and figured it was important to capture our newest addition with photography! Jillian was absolutely incredible to work with! She really made us feel so comfortable and at ease as new parents. She was so gentle while handling our newborn baby during posing and with outfit changes we greatly appreciated the added care. Her studio is immaculately clean and organized with snacks, drinks, etc! Jillian’s collection of backdrops, outfit choices and gear is beyond professional. We can’t recommend Jillian Faulkner Photography enough! Thank you!

Jillian was amazing to work with! She instantly put an introverted person who doesn't like pictures at complete ease. She talked me the whole way through, weighed in on hair, makeup and clothing, was so upbeat and so much fun! I was shocked by the number of pictures I had to choose from.  A very comfortable, no pressure atmosphere to make decisions in. Jillian is a complete professional, from her first responding email to the presentation of the purchased images. For first time headshots, I have had numerous talent/casting agents compliment them. I would absolutely recommend her!  I'm trying to convince my three grown sons to get pictures done with Jillian.  Her ability to relate to any age/gender, her knowledge of current trends and her passion would allow anyone to enjoy a photo shoot with her.

Jillian is a very skilled baby/family photographer. She did an amazing newborn session with our 2month old son and took some gorgeous photos. She was so patient with us and really took her time to get great shots despite our son’s initial fussiness. Some of her photo compositions are quite unique and creative. Her studio is extremely clean and well organized and follows covid public health guidelines. She will also schedule a dedicated photo selection session afterwards to view all the photos which was a great experience. We are very happy with the way the photos turned out and would highly recommend her to others.

Jillian made our photography experience such a great family event! I loved her professionalism, organization, and fun spirit. The presentation of our session images was amazing and they were presented in such an organized way that we were able to make great choices on which images we wanted. When we received the finished product, it was so beautifully wrapped. Everything Jillian presented to us was beyond our expectations and we would absolutely recommend Jillian to others, she is so easy to work with, fun, flexible and professional!

The Custer Family

Jillian’s attention to detail, her professionalism and her pleasant personality made this a most enjoyable experience from start to finish. We would not hesitate to use her services again and would recommend her to anyone looking for professional, personalized photography.

She guided us with the choice of settings, clothing and colors to wear. We found Jillian to be very patient and accommodating during the planning and the photo session.

When the proofs were ready, she invited us to her home studio where we took the time to select our favorite photographs from a very well-designed visual presentation. We picked up our beautifully wrapped portraits a few weeks later. We could not be happier with the quality of her work!y you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Jillian is fun & easy to work with! Our family is always impressed with her attention to detail throughout the session. We were absolutely thrilled with the final images, they far exceeded our expectations. Jillian is extremely professional before, during and after the photo shoot and all of the details regarding our session were clearly communicated to us. We would highly recommend her to others.

The Traficante Family

You will notice right away when working with Jillian that she really cares about her clients. She took extra time prior to the session and even during the session to discuss exactly what we are looking for in our final photos. She really gets our personalities and always seems to capture them beautifully. It was our first time having photos done within a studio environment and we really enjoyed the space as well as the backdrops she selected for us. Jillian is friendly, professional and has a great eye for detail. We trust in her that she knows exactly what will make us look good! We especially loved the final edits she applied to our photos. The finished prints we received looked so amazing and it was so nice to have prints come as part of the photography package! We loved working with Jillian and plan to again in the future. We highly recommend her to all our family and friends!

We loved working with Jillian for our recent maternity and newborn sessions! In addition to being extremely professional and organized, Jillian is so warm and welcoming. Prior to our sessions, Jillian provided us with all the necessary information for how to prepare. This included suggestions on what to wear and gave the option of utilizing the beautiful maternity gowns she has available within her gorgeous home studio.

Throughout our sessions she went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera and gave guidance on how to pose. She was so patient in both our sessions but in particular during the newborn session, capturing the smallest of details of our little guy that we will cherish for years to come. We cant wait to display the final images we ordered! Thank you Jillian!

We would highly recommend Jillian! She is a talented photographer, great with kids and is very thorough in her approach. Jillian was professional, helpful, fun to work with and the photos turned out amazing! We love the prints we selected and the quality of the prints is excellent. She helped guide us with everything from outfit selection to final photo/product selection. Jillian even went above and beyond scouting out a photo location we had in mind in her spare time. She also had up to date and thorough covid policies which we appreciated. The photo selection appointment was a great experience. To have the opportunity to go through a slide show of the images and then have Jillians assistance in selecting the best images and products was very helpful and fun! We love our new family photos and definitely plan to work with her again in the future! Thank you Jillian!

It was such a pleasure from the initial contact with Jillian to the final contact when we picked up our photos! We really appreciated the ease and availability to contact Jillian with any questions or second opinions that we required.

Jillian is very organized and has the experience and skills to get both the people & details in place to get amazing family photos. She spent time giving great suggestions of what to wear so that we were perfectly coordinated and prepared when it came time for the ready photo shoot. This really reduced the stress of getting ready since everyone knew in advance what they needed to do for us all to be on the same page. She paid a great deal of attention to things like hand placement, jewelry and all of the little details that make the photos look beautiful and a real success. Those are things we were really looking for in choosing a photographer!

Jillian had our proofs ready to view on a large screen in a calm and comfortable setting in her well equipped and artistically decorated studio so you could really see all of the details. She was super organized and helpful in guiding us with selecting poses to be printed. Our final set of photos are spectacular! We are so pleased with the quality of photos. The color, finish, backing, frames and packaging is top notch. All of it was presented so professionally and beautifully - it was truly a gift!

We will be back to have family photos done again in the future. It was such a positive experience for all of us. She captured so many perfect moments - it was magical. We have already recommended Jillian Faulkner Photography to our family and friends! Jillian we are so happy and pleased with the outcome of our photos. They are absolutely beautiful!! You did an amazing job of capturing what we had in mind and even more. We were hesitant about taking our old ones down because we were so attached to them but instead we can't wait to put up the new ones. Thank you again so sincerely for everything, it was a great experience for all of us!difference.

Words cannot express my pleasure with the professionalism and the time that Jillian took to make sure that every detail was well attended to for our session. The entire experience for both me and my husband for our professional headshots, was exceptional! Jillian made me feel at ease despite my lack of confidence in front of the camera and the final presentation was beyond my expectations! I highly recommend Jillian for her skill both behind the camera and in front of the camera with her clients. I am looking forward to our upcoming grandparent and grandchild session with Jillian Faulkner Photography!

Robinson Family

Fantastic photographer! Jillian is so easy to work with and talented. Our son's graduation photos from his school were very "fake" and expensive. This led us to look for our own photographer. Jillian made our son feel at ease and took many photos, she was able to capture some amazing moments. Photos that are true to his personality and not some strange pose that just looked awkward. We really enjoyed the entire process and actually struggled to pick our top 7 photos as they were all incredibly good.

Allison Davis

I was personally recommended to Jillian Faulkner Photography by my sister. The level of customer service was excellent as was Jillian's professionalism. The backdrop and props were really great and festive for Christmas time and the added touches like having nicely wrapped photos and a custom Facebook timeline cover made the experience a great one. I would definitely recommend Jillian to others and already have! She was very friendly and worked well with our young children during the photo shoot. We loved the photos and currently have a large print to enjoy everyday in our living room!
