Here's what is left for Waterton Minis!

June 6 @7:45 pm
@ 8 pm
July 14 @ 8 pm

For those wanting to potentially grab their spot now, keep reading...
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
1. I will have limited spots available during the best evening hours for the best light. Likely 6-8pm.
2. Date will be Saturday June 6th (weather permitting), and Tuesday July 14th. $180 for 10-15 images.
3. Session time slots will be every 15 minutes. These are perfect, short and sweet. Just enough to grab the best poses that you want on your wall, or for your holiday cards! This means that we need to stay punctual with your arrival 🙂 Aim for 5 minutes prior to your start time.
4. Make an evening out of it! It might be a bit of a drive for some of you, so take advantage of the park while you're there if you can!
5. Weather and wind: It is almost always windy to some degree in Waterton, so plan for that. If the weather is going to be miserable level wind and/or rainy, we will be rescheduling. The last thing I want is for people to make the trek out there for nothing!
I missed doing these last year and I'm itching to get back! Feel free to message Jillian Russell Photography to book!

Happy New Year everyone!
I thought I had better pop on and answer a few questions I've been receiving 👌🏻

I'm happy to say that I'll be able to open my schedule a bit more this year and take on more sessions!
YES, I'm still doing photography! 🤣👍🏻
YES, I am now doing newborns again, just in my clients homes (lifestyle vibes), and in mini session format.
YES, I am hoping to do both Waterton Minis and Christmas Minis in 2026!
YES, you can book your sessions early. Ideally, at LEAST 30 days in advance is great, especially for the Summer and Fall months.
NO, I am not offering wedding services any longer, but can definitely give you some wonderful referrals.

Hopefully that helps! I'm excited to see what we can capture in 2026!! ❤️

It's that time again! I've decided to do drop in hours this year, instead of individual time slots, because these sessions are lightning quick!
Message me to book for September 5th!
