Just had a family maternity photo shoot yesterday and absolutely loved it! My family has never had professional photos taken and Sheena made it such a special and fun experience! She made us feel so comfortable and we really enjoyed it. We will most certainly be doing more shoots with her in the future!

I came in and Yaneck greeted me immediately. I didn't add on hair/makeup so it was just us. He did a great job of putting me at ease, giving posing tips, and making a connection. He went through the photos with me and even got them back to me a day before expected.

I have had many sessions with Jillian Spencer studios and am never disappointed. I really love her sports sessions because she makes it really quick and easy which everyone can appreciate with their busy lives. I have also worked with her for my son's baptism and plan to use her for a family mini session as well.

How we grade

Satisfaction (54%) — Recency-weighted star average (2-year half-life), shrunk toward the category mean by review volume; the company’s own lifetime average as the prior; absolute: 4.0★ = 0, 5★ = 100.

Reliability (24%) — How rarely jobs go badly: share of 1–2★ reviews — 60% the last 24 months (or the 20 newest if fewer), 40% all-time; 0% = 100, 15%+ = 0; the category percentile can only raise it.

Craft & service (penalty, up to −10) — Google review highlights: Quality, Professionalism, Responsiveness, Punctuality — how rarely reviewers flag them as a negative, per review since highlights began; 0% = 100, 5%+ = 0. Subtracted from the score (up to −10), never averaged in — clean highlights are the norm, not a bonus.

Value (14%) — Customers’ own price verdicts (Great / Reasonable vs Overpriced) and Value highlights; 65% absolute (all “reasonable” ≈ 80, “great” = 100), the category percentile can only raise it.

Momentum (penalty, up to −10) — Penalises only a real slide: last-12-month average below lifetime (−0.5★ = 0). Still 4.8★+ over the last year, or steady/improving = 100. Subtracted from the score (up to −10), never averaged in.

Replies to reviews (7%) — How often the owner publicly replies to reviews under 5★ (1–4★). Needs 3+ such reviews, otherwise not counted; 65% absolute (80%+ replied = 100), the category percentile can only raise it.
