Julie is absolutely amazing with kids and captured the best moments for our little family. Her patience, creativity, and ability to connect with my daughter made the entire photoshoot enjoyable and stress-free. The final photographs were stunning, beautifully composed, and perfectly captured our family's love and happiness.
Working with Julie was an absolutely wonderful experience. Her communication, demeanor, organization, kindness and flexibility were fantastic, and the breathtaking photos we received in less than 5 days from the time of our session speak for themselves. I highly recommend for family’s with young children, as she was patient and understanding, and gave us great direction for posing and capturing great shots. I will absolutely be working with her again in the future.
We had a wonderful fall family shoot with Julie. She suggested a lovely location that was matched only by the tranquil glow of the setting sun and Julie’s peaceful and serene demeanor. She was great with me, my husband, and my two kids. She was able to capture many great shots of us, both candid and planned, working expertly with the light and landscape. And all in less than 45 minutes — no easy feat with the 3.5 and 1.5 year old! She was responsive and runs a very seamless process from planning the shoot to delivering the digitals. Thank you for a lovely experience!
