Meet Julia
God First ⢠Empath ⢠Animal Enthusiast
I believe everyone deserves a beautiful portraitâone that truly captures who they are. But I also know what itâs 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. Thatâs why I do what I do.
Photography isnât just about taking picturesâitâs about preserving the people we love in a way that lasts. Whether itâs 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’sâjust a fun, & relaxed experience that results in imagery youâll be proud to display. Because years from now, these photos wonât just be for youâtheyâll be for the people who love you most.
of our clients say their photos made them tear up with joy.

"We booked a session to get promo shots ahead of our tour, and wow â the studio vibe, the lighting, the energy... everything was on point. We walked out with photos that actually feel like us. Itâs hard to find someone who gets musicians visually, but Obsidian does."
