In 2016, I fulfilled a dream planted the day I gave myself the title of Family Birthday Party Photographer. That delicate little dream sprouted on the “photo walks” of my pre-teens and was cultivated by every cent funneled from my first paychecks into my fancy camera fund. All it took was four years of business school and a few friends who saw my potential and…

But my soft, light photos aren’t the main reason I routinely become the go-to photographer for an extended family or bridal party; it's more about tracked-down water bottles, friendly banter, and remembered names.

It’s about the philosophy I bring to every wedding—that every gallery I deliver will be a celebration of love and family.

The One Where You Meet Your

my approach

I BELIEVE THE WAY A PHOTO FEELS IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE WAY IT LOOKS.

Pretty isn’t the ultimate priority anymore.

Pretty isn’t really the ultimate priority anymore.

All attention turns to capturing the essence of a moment in an elevated way. But as every camera-shy couple knows, sincere interactions don’t always naturally happen.

I designed a relaxed yet refined client experience to remove stress and make space for sincerity.

It might look like a heartfelt “Oh my gosh, you look stunning!” to the mother of the bride. It might look like a chair chased down for your grandpa, an inside joke with your sister-in-law, or a whispered check-in with your aunt that the safety pin I gave her is holding strong.

The person in front of my camera could be 1 or 101. They’ll receive the same consideration and respect. And when everyone feels comfy and cared for, they look like it in your photos!

When we catch up before your sixth family session or between getting ready candids on your bridesmaid’s wedding day, it’ll feel like reuniting with an old friend.

My husband and three children fill my days off with neighborhood exploration, silly games, and good conversation. When we’ve finally got the kids to sleep, we love to catch up on our favorite episodes of Parks and Rec, The Office, and Friends on standby.

Now, that you’ve taken a peek into my past and present, I hope to meet in the near future! Just remember I’m always here to lend a hand. So, if you can’t find the right veil or you need help curating a family photo list that reflects your legacy, well…

The result: a gallery that’s your kind of beautiful.

I’ll be there for you! ~ Julia
