I believe the best photographs don't feel overly posed or perfect. They feel like you. They capture the personalities, the connection, the laughter, the nerves, the chaos—and all of the little things that make this particular season of your life yours.
After years of photographing people and families, I've learned that life moves incredibly fast. Babies grow. Kids change. Seniors become adults and head off into the world. And somehow, the moments we think we'll always remember become the ones we wish we could step back into for just a minute.
Photography gives us a way to do that.
Whether we're documenting your brand-new baby, celebrating your senior before their next chapter, or simply preserving your family exactly as you are right now, my goal is to make the experience easy, fun and genuinely you.
Because someday, these photographs won't just be pictures. They'll be the way you remember this chapter.
There are the big moments we know we want to remember—and then there are the little ones we never realize we’ll miss until they’re gone.
The way a newborn curls into your chest. The gap-toothed grin of a child who has just discovered something hilarious. Your teenager laughing in a way that reminds you they’re still your baby. The quiet moments at home, the wild ones in the backyard, and all the beautiful in-between that somehow becomes the stuff you treasure most.
Those are the moments I want to photograph.
If you’ve been around here for a while, you’ve probably seen plenty of wedding photographs. But these days, I’m making room for something else—the everyday, the growing, and all the seasons in between.
As a mom of two, I know how quickly these chapters change. The newborn stage that feels endless somehow disappears overnight. Kids grow into their own personalities, and suddenly your senior is standing in front of you wondering where the years went. Those are the moments I want to preserve.
My sessions are relaxed, personal and never about forcing everyone into a perfect pose. I’ll help you plan the details—from what to wear to choosing a location that feels like you—and bring a little direction when you need it. Mostly, I want you to show up, have fun and let me capture what naturally unfolds.
Newborns, families, seniors and branding—whatever season you’re in, I’d love to tell that story with you.
Reach out by email or phone and let’s chat! I love hearing about any vision that you may have when it comes to your session or if you need a bit of guidance, I’m here for that too. If you have a crazy idea, go ahead and spill all the details! I enjoy learning a bit about you, what you may be celebrating and who you are bringing along for the fun. From here we will discuss dates, outfit ideas, locations and then it’s on to booking!!
For sessions, I like to keep things really simple. I will email over a quote that includes the details of your session with an invoice attached. Once you take care of this, we are good to go!
If your portrait session is scheduled a couple weeks or months away, I will reach out a few days before to check in and make sure we are still good to go. If the weather is calling for rain, we will figure out a backup day to make it happen!
Ok, today is the day! Yay! Outdoor Portrait Sessions are typically scheduled on weekday evenings about an hour before sunset and in-home lifestyle newborns are late morning during the week. The biggest advice I have for session day is don’t stress yourself out too much! If you have kids, trust me I know this can be really hard. But if you go with the flow, so will they (mostly). So trust yourself, have fun and I will guide you through it all the way!
Portrait galleries are typically delivered within 1-2 weeks. So do a little happy dance when you see my email pop up in your inbox! It will include a link to your full gallery, downloading instructions and printing options. Oh and don’t forget while you are waiting to check out my instagram for a few previews to hold you over until then!
All portrait galleries include the option to print with tons of sizing options available online. I have a fantastic lab set up for you that offers high quality, true to life colors. I also offer custom albums and coffee table books. So if you are wanting to create something beautiful for your home, I would be happy to help!
Portrait sessions in the Phoenix area—including lifestyle newborns, seniors, families and personal branding—begin at $600 + tax. Sessions include up to one hour of photography and a beautifully curated full gallery of edited images.
Throughout the year, I also offer a limited number of mini sessions at select Arizona locations, with details announced seasonally.
If you're looking for photographs that feel effortless, personal and true to this season of your life, I’d love to work with you. Reach out through the contact page or email me directly at jillian@jillianhogan.com
SIMPLY AMAZING!!! When searching for a local photographer for our engagement photos, I came across Jillian's page. After scrolling through her gallery, I was hooked! Her aesthetic was EXACTLY what we were looking for! When I reached out she was responsive, prompt and very professional! On the day we met for our session, she greeted us with the warmest smile and was so friendly! The quality of her photos exceeded our expectations...We have also received multiple compliments on our photos from friends and family!!! It was such a pleasure to work with Jillian and we can't wait to work with her again!
Jillian is an amazing photographer and took absolutely stunning newborn photos of our 12 day old daughter! ...She was super responsive and easy to schedule with. She showed up on time for the shoot, was organized, had a plan but was flexible and was an overall pleasure to work with. She took stunning pictures and got them back to us within a week. We are so glad we found Jillian and will definitely be working with her again in the future! I highly recommend her!
Jillian did our Family Photos, and was absolutely a pleasure to work with. She’s one of my go to Photographers for a handful of my clients not only for her amazing product, but also her personality and comfort level she delivers on wedding day. It was so amazing to be in front of her camera for once. She made my little ones feel so comfortable and was easy going knocking them out so efficiently. Her turnaround time on the pictures was super and greatly appreciated.
This can vary a bit depending on the session type. For Engagements, I always suggest planning for two outfits. The first is typically a more casual, everyday kind of look and the second being more formal. Wearing something that makes you feel great is the most important thing to consider! If you are a family, I always suggest picking out mom’s outfit first then adding in complementary colors and patterns for the rest of the family. Neutral colors, flowy dresses, colorful accents and seasonal pieces like hats always look great! If you still need help, just reach out!
I typically deliver around 50-75 images per gallery. The amount can vary a bit depending on the session. All images delivered are high resolution for printing and edited in a similar manner to what you see on my site and social media.
Of course! I love helping you with locations and there are so many great spots throughout Boerne, The Texas Hill Country and San Antonio. Depending on what type of location you are looking for (ex. urban vs. nature) I am happy to make suggestions. Some of my local favorites include Cibolo Nature Center, Guadalupe River State Park, Enchanted Rock, Downtown Boerne, Mission San Jose,The McNay Art Museum and The Pearl but there are so many more!
I typically deliver portrait galleries within 1-2 weeks from the date of your session. I also love posting previews for you on instagram while you wait for the full gallery :)
Yes! I am happy to travel! I mostly photograph sessions in Central Texas including Boerne, New Braunfels, San Antonio and Austin. When I am back in Dallas, I schedule portrait sessions several times a year and offer mini sessions in the Fall.
