Meet Julia
God First • Empath • Animal Enthusiast
I believe everyone deserves a beautiful portrait—one that truly captures who they are. But I also know what it’s like to wish I had more. There are loved ones in my life who never had a professional photo of themselves, and it breaks my heart. I wish I had a nice portrait of them to look back on, to hang in my home, to keep their presence alive in a way that feels real. That’s why I do what I do.
Photography isn’t just about taking pictures—it’s about preserving the people we love in a way that lasts. Whether it’s a portrait, headshot, or an event session, I want to create images that make you feel something every time you look at them.
My style of directing is both posed & candid’s—just a fun, & relaxed experience that results in imagery you’ll be proud to display. Because years from now, these photos won’t just be for you—they’ll be for the people who love you most.
Our Happy Clients!
We hired Julia for our Airbnb photos, and the results were amazing! The photos were bright, welcoming, and showcased our property perfectly. Since updating our listing, we've seen a noticeable increase in bookings. Highly recommend their services!

By far the best photographer in the area, my vision could not have been executed by just any photographer. Julia is the sweetest girl, and easy to work with.
