you might be wondering
F.A.Q.
when do i receive my photos?
For weddings, you will receive about 50 sneak peeks within 72 hours of your weddings day. The full gallery will be delivered within 6 to 8 weeks. For other services, photos will be delivered within 2 to 3 weeks of your shoot!
do you offer videography services?
No! I do not provide traditional videography services. However, I do offer a "home video" add-on which is great for couples who want moments of their day captured, but don't want to hire or pay for a traditional videographer.
how are my photos delivered?
I use a site called pic-time to curate all galleries. You will receive a link via email when your photos are ready. From there, all photos will be available to download and use as you want!
what can we expect from working with you?
First off, you can expect to be less less like client and more like a friend! I want to know YOU and for a few reasons. 1. because I genuinely care. I absolutely love meeting new people and getting to know what makes them who they are! It's my favorite part of the job. 2. The more comfortable we are together, the more comfortable you will probably feel in front of the camera!
what do you shoot with?
I have 2 cameras a Canon R6 and a Canon R6 MkII. I use a 24-70mm lens for my wider shots and my 70-200mm lens for the close detail shots. I also have a Godox V1 flash for after sunset.
what wedding tips do you have?
Make sure to give yourself extra time in your timeline for enjoyment. You don't want your day to constantly feel in a rush. Don't stress too much about the small stuff- leave it to the professionals. Most importantly, have fun!!

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!"
