Hi, I’m Julie and I’m here to help you tell the story of your life—I value seeing you just as you are—to find and preserve what is good and noble and true. Let me hold up a mirror to you. I think you will like what you see.

MY STORY


I should start by telling you why I picked these photos of me instead of a formal headshot. A good friend of mine by the name of Kyle Walton is one of my favorite photographers and storytellers. I had the chance to be on a trip with him and a group of friends in Scotland a couple of years ago. He took these photos of me that embody a lot of who I am. I come alive when I am outside, in a beautiful setting, and doing some kind of activity. Sharing experiences with people I love is a big bonus. You will see a lot of golf as a part of my story. For the past five years it has taken me places I would have never dreamed of going, and in many ways has helped to heal and restore some pieces of my heart and soul. Kyle's photos mean the world to me. And that's what I want to give to you.

I’ve spent the good majority of my adult life with a camera in my hand, and for 10 years, I did it professionally. One of my greatest joys in life is interacting with people with a camera in my hand. To me, it is simply an extension of how I see people—a uniquely created work of art put here at this time and this place for a purpose. It is about finding and preserving what is good, noble, and true. I am a storyteller at heart, seeing life as one long narrative being told as we live out our days.

I put down the camera, at least professionally, as our first daughter came home through adoption. That began a season for me of quietly honing my craft and documenting the most important people in my life. Those years were not lost. I gained greater confidence in who I am and how I see the world in those years. With more lived experience and many more hours of defining my unique style, I am here again, offering a piece of me to you.

Photography, in its essence, is a partnership. I see my camera simply as a tool for connecting me with whatever is in my frame at any given moment in time. I aim not for perfect moments but for ones that have meaning, evoke emotion, and tell the story of who you are. Life’s most precious commodity is our time and our presence. It is what we offer one another in the moments we have together. This is our currency, and ultimately, this is our legacy.

I would love to spend time with you. I would love for you to allow me into your world, to share a bit of who you are and to allow me to hold a mirror up to you. I think you will like what you see.

I’m available for family sessions, personal storytelling, travel documentation (take me on your trip!), milestone events, corporate storytelling, and pretty much any story you wish to tell.
