i am julia - a d.c. based photographer specializing in weddings, couples and families

all about me

I am a midwest girl at heart,  and I am originally from Cincinnati , OH. I have been living in the D.C. area for a year and a half! I picked up photography during covid when my travel plans got turned upside-down! Originally, I started taking graduation photos for friends, but eventually, this led to booking couples and then weddings! I have now been doing wedding photography full-time for 2 years, and each year it becomes even more of a joy! 
In my 2 years, I have even done a  destination wedding in Portugal! 

Some fun facts about me- I love to sing! I am still waiting for the moment a couple brings me up with their band on wedding day! My fiance is an airline pilot and we love to travel the world! I am  (embarrassingly at the moment) a huge Bengals fan! Can't wait to chat with you more!

AN ABSOLUTE GEM!!! Julia photographed our engagement session, rehearsal dinner, and wedding, and we would absolutely use her again!!!

Words cannot describe how much we adore her and her work!! Not only is she a talented and professional photographer- but the sweetest person ever! She was the easiest vendor to work with throughout the wedding process and was so organized on the wedding day! She truly understood our vision, captured everything we wanted and MORE!! She went above and beyond for us, and we’re so grateful she captured our special day!

Her personality and energy were contagious and fit right in with our wedding party! She even joined in on the dance floor at the end of the night! If you ever get the chance to work with her, don’t miss out!!

"She truly understood our vision, captured everything we wanted and More!!...:

"Julia photographed both our wedding day and our rehearsal dinner! We are so incredibly happy and amazed with how our gallery turned out. She captured everything so well! Not only were her photos beautiful but her personality was too. I have received so so many compliments from our guests saying how amazing Julia was, she really got involved in our day with us and our guests in the best way possible! From jumping on the dance floor with everyone, to making us all feel so comfortable in front of the camera everything about Julia was perfect! I can’t wait to fill our home with her work, and create a photo book to show our future family! I will cherish these photos forever! From the little details to big moments our gallery was everything we dreamed of and so much more!!! I’ll never forget the epic J named squad."

"I don’t even know where to start with Julia; she is truly the best! We were so last minute, needing to find a new photographer weeks before our wedding and she saved the day! Taking us on with such short notice didn’t matter at all, she is so organized and comprehensive and asked all the questions and covered all the topics we didn’t even realize we needed! All of our questions were answered before we even asked. The day of she was so great to work with, she wasn’t thrown off amongst the chaos of our large families and I had so many guests commenting about how great she was. Our sneak peeks came back so quickly and we were even more excited for our full album and somehow she still managed to over deliver again then. I really can’t say enough good things, our pictures are so real and beautiful and we love them so much, how much she cares and loves what she does really shows through her work! There are many good artists out there, but to find a good one that is also so good to work with is the reason everyone should reach out to Julia!"

"Everyone should reach out to Julia..."

From our engagement photoshoot to all the planning leading up to our wedding, Julia was so responsive and helpful making sure that we were organize and every detail was perfect. She went above and beyond every step of the way. On our wedding day, she fulfilled every wish we had and made us feel like the most important people in the world.

Julia is unbelievably talented, professional, respectful, and so much fun to be around. She brought such amazing energy to both photoshoots, keeping everyone relaxed, happy, and laughing. Our family and friends couldn’t stop raving about her, and the bridal party kept saying how much fun she made every moment.

We truly could not be more thankful to have found Julia. She captured our day so beautifully and made the entire experience unforgettable. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares, makes you feel at ease, and delivers beyond expectations, Julia is the one!

"Julia is the one!"
