Hi, I’m Julia — the storyteller behind the lens. Your wedding is one of a kind, and your photos should reflect that. I focus on blending fine art style with genuine, in-the-moment storytelling so your images feel effortless, emotional, and true to you. My goal is to capture your day as it really felt: beautiful, honest, and entirely your own.

About Me

Praise

My now-husband and I were so luck to have been able to work with Julia on our wedding day. She captured so many special moments, had a positive attitude all day, and made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. She captured candids but also took plenty of portraits as well- in which she gave the perfect amount of direction, so that we didn't feel overly posed but also knew what to do. I highly recommend working with her!

I've always hated having my picture taken and felt very uncomfortable during planned photo shoots. But Julia actually made it fun! Her calm, cheerful energy was contagious, and the photos were stunning!

Julia was wonderful to work with. She is professional, patient, and made sure that my partner and I were comfortable throughout our session. Julia is very knowledgeable and lead the session with a clear vision, while always pausing to check in and ensure that we were getting exactly what we wanted! I would recommend Julia to anyone for looking for a couples or family session!
