About Me


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.

“Newborns and Chaos”
Your newborn doesn’t need silence.
They were born into a family, not a quiet studio.
Big siblings bring life, movement, and joy into these sessions—and honestly, I love it.
We’re not aiming for calm. We’re aiming for connection.
The Only Thing That Increases in Value Over Time

Most things lose value as they age—cars, clothes, furniture.

But printed photos? They gain value.

That photo of your baby’s first smile? Worth a little now.

In ten years? Priceless.

In twenty? Irreplaceable.

In fifty? The most treasured thing you own.
You won’t always remember the exact sound of their tiny newborn cry. 
But you will have these images to remind you of how little they once were, and how much you loved them from the very start.
The Last Time Always Comes Quietly –

One day, you’ll rest your hands on your belly for the last time, and you won’t even realize it.

The last time you feel the tiny flutter of kicks inside you.
The last time you instinctively cradle your bump, protecting the life growing within.
The last time you wonder who they will look like, what their cry will sound like, how your heart will stretch to love another.

Pregnancy feels endless some days, the waiting, the discomfort, the anticipation of what’s to come. But then, before you know it, it becomes a memory—a season you can’t step back into, no matter how much you might want to.

Hold onto these moments a little longer. Soak in the quiet nights where it’s just you and them, heartbeats intertwined. Because one day, the last time will come, and you won’t even know it.

Mamas who have been here before—what’s one thing you miss about pregnancy?
The Way They Fit in Your Arms
One day, you’ll pick them up for the last time. 
One day, they won’t climb into your lap as often. 
But right now, they still do. 
And these moments? They are everything.
