H E L L O !

My name is Julie and the truth is, I’m a lover of God, Family, Parenting, and Beautiful Light.
Cheesy? Yeah probably, but in that order (among many other things) they truly are the things I need in my life to be happy.

Who am I?
I am a mom of three boys.  I am an ex-preschool Montessori teacher and now dedicate my full time
to my children and my photography business.

 

More About What I love
I love Love LOVE being a mom! I love watching all little firsts.
First steps, first words, first wide eyed discoveries of the world, first driver’s license, first girlfriend, first speeding ticket!
I love the dimples small children have on their hands where their knuckles will grow in.
I love the fuzzy halos of hair that glow on a baby’s head as you watch him eat his bananas in the morning light.
I love the peanut butter face that only comes from a child who eats their sandwich straight down the center, and how a toddler runs with a straight legged hip rotation waddle.
I love how a child suddenly wants to do everything by themselves, despite their little bodies holding them back.
I also love actively and mindfully being a mom.
I love being a part of building childhood memories, the good ones that they will carry with them forever.
I love being a family and watching my husband be a father.
I love watching him get down on our kids level and become childlike himself.
I love watching him go do “man things” with our Big while I stay home  with the littles and bake a cake, play board games or dart gun wars.
I love falling deeper in love with him every day.

A few other things about me:
I have a “I can do that myself” mentality.
Which is what got me into photography in the first place.
I love to at least try to make my own props, crochet hats, I will learn to knit, I cut my own kids hair (and my hair too!)
I usually make my kids birthday cakes, and try to always make my Christmas presents for the family,
I am a Positive Parenting Solutions Mom and Ambassador.
I play the guitar, not well, but I do play (and I sing too!).
I’m not a guru but I sure strive toward balance a healthy lifestyle.
I am spiritual, a lover of God, and always look for ways to see the best in all situations.

About my artwork:

As you can see from above, I love my kids, details, and relationships, and love, and I believe that shows through my work.
Steering away from perfect poses and bold color, I use a combination of beautiful light, muted soft tones,
and delicate props to focus on the true essence of a person and the emotions felt between loved ones.

My style is pure, organic, simple and fresh, revolving around the soft delicate intimacy that is everything motherhood.
I want to offer the experience of a beautiful, FUN, relaxed session, along with a variety of beautiful heirloom products to fit all the needs you have today.
