About

Hello Friends, I'm Julia, 
I've always found beauty in the simple things, a quiet walk under the open sky, the scent of fresh air after the rain, or the way sunlight dances on the flowers in bloom.  Nature is where I pause, pray and find peace. and it's also where my photography inspiration blooms.  

When I'm behind the camera, I aim to capture that same sense of wonder and stillness.  Whether it's a family sharing a laugh, a senior ready to step into a new chapter, or a quiet moment of connection, I believe photographs are a way to preserve the beauty of today for the generations to come.

For me, photography isn't just about pictures, it's about creating memories, bonding with your loved ones and telling a story.  Your story.

bringing smiles to your heart

As a mother of three student athletes, I understand firsthand the sacrifices parents make to give their children the best possible future.  Life moves fast, and as parents we are constantly on the go- shuttling our kids to school, sports practices, and special events, always trying to be in the right place at the right time.

In the midst of life's busyness, it's easy to forget to  slow down and capture the moments that matter most.  Days turn into weeks, weeks into months, and before you know it, those months have become years.  Suddenly, your baby is graduating high school, heading off to college, getting married, and creating a family of their own.

For over eight years, I have had the privilege of meeting and photographing countless families.  Through my work, I have come to truly understand the importance of preserving family memories.  My goal is to help you create meaningful, timeless photographs that tell your story as your family grows together. 

One day, I hope these images will bring you back to moments you cherish- gathered around the dinner table, sharing stories, laughter, and love.  And if they bring a tear or two, even better.  Those are the memories worth holding onto.

memories are all we will have

Sipping chartreuse and green tea while looking at the most perfect white subway tile and hand painted signs. Driving through the mountains to Portland reminiscing about the best memories back home. Cozy sweaters, vintage demin, and Pabst while telling one of a kind love stories. The trials and tribulations of love, joy, and happiness. Lastly, champagne brunch and avocado toast while surrounded by the finest exposed brick, dreamcatchers, and maps to our souls. Dreamcatchers, macrame and 100 Days of Summer. Anthropologie trips and walks on the beach, love letters and secret admirers. Fall breeze, flannels, and hot cocoa. Whales and dinosaurs and handmade crafts. Salvage denim, antique leather bags, and the first time we watched Moonrise Kingdom. 

The slow hum of traffic and the cool breeze that signify the joy of a new day.

if my work speaks to your heart, I would be happy to help you create memories.
