Honest and Emotive Portraiture

A thing that you see in my pictures is that I was not afraid to fall in love with these people.

Newborn + Motherhood Photography

Your family is beautiful, and those moments spent together, full of meaning, playfulness, and emotion, deserve to be captured. At Milana Gilligan Photography, my goal is to preserve your child’s essence as it is, while celebrating the unique qualities that make your family truly one of a kind. Childhood is fleeting, and there’s nothing like looking back on those early moments when you’re all together in the frame.

Family, in all its messiness, chaos, and splendor, is worth preserving.

My lifestyle sessions combine guided and candid moments, designed to reflect the natural dynamics and energy of your family. Together, we’ll create portraits that tell your story.

Let’s begin with a pre session consultation where we’ll chat about your vision, discuss location and styling, and go over all the details to make the process as smooth as possible.


Senior Photography

Let’s capture what makes you you by creating a session that’s as unique as your vibe. We’ll curate your wardrobe and pick the perfect locations that reflect your style.

Milana Gilligan Photography specializes in bold, emotive, and creative portraiture, blending natural outdoor backdrops with your personality. Whether it’s a senior shoot or a family session, we’re all about creating images that feel real and raw. Sessions include up to two hours and two locations, focusing on one individual.

Ready to make some magic? Contact me to schedule your pre session consultation, and let’s start planning your unforgettable day.

KIND WORDS

We just received our gorgeous digital files from my daughter’s senior photo shoot with Milana. We are blown away. Milana took my daughter’s preferences and desires for the shoot into heart. The location and shots she took were truly amazing. She was professional, friendly, and very responsive with communication. Highly recommend!

Milana was a pleasure to work with. She made everything very easy (picking the location, consulting on styling), especially the actual photoshoot, engaging my children so they were relaxed and could enjoy the experience and be happy. The best part of course is the final product - gorgeous lighting and exquisite compositions, capturing everyone at ease! We are so happy and hope to book more sessions in the future.

Milana took our first set of family photos with our new adopted daughter . She did a phenomenal job capturing our love and silliness. I am so very grateful for the photos! I will cherish them forever. Milana did such a great job making us feel comfortable in front of the camera. I was worried that our 8 month old daughter would have a hard time but we all had a blast! She chose the perfect location, the lighting and scenery was so gorgeous. She even helped us decide what to wear so that we would look natural in our photos!
