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.

Thinking of spring? Feels like we haven't had winter here yet with this record breaking heat in December, but I'm feeling ready for longer days, early morning walks, flowers budding and signs of new life.
Motherhood stretches you, changes you, fills you in ways nothing else can.
These are the days when time both stretches and disappears. One day blends into the next, and suddenly they’re a month old.

2025, you were full in the best way.
This year in the studio looked like little fingers wrapped around mama’s hand, brand new babies settling into safe arms, tiny smiles turning into belly laughs, and families learning how to just be together long enough for it to show.
I’m still undone by how fast it all goes.
Thank you for trusting me with your season. 
For showing up tired, hopeful, pregnant, postpartum, joyful, tender, and real.
These highlights are a little love letter to the families I got to work with in 2025.
Here’s to more connection, more presence, and more moments that actually matter.
Eight years of tradition.
Eight years of families walking through these doors, year after year.

Some of these kids have been coming since they were babies. Some have grown up and moved on, and that feels just as meaningful. Being a small part of their childhood memories is something I’m truly grateful for.

Here’s a glimpse into a full day of quiet moments, nervous smiles, whispered conversations, and the calm magic that happens before Santa even says hello.

I’m deeply grateful to the families who trust me with this tradition, and to the Santa who has shown up year after year and become part of so many childhood memories.

When I first started this, I had no idea how it would be received. I’m so grateful it’s become part of so many families’ holiday traditions.
