Intimate setting. Crafted experience. Iconic portraits.

Hey hottie,

Black fabric with smooth, flowing folds and subtle highlights.

let’s turn you all the way up.

Step into the studio and into your “hot damn, that’s me” era.


This isn’t about reinvention. It’s about recognition. Get ready to honor the version of you that’s bold, soft, radiant, and real. I’ll handle the lighting, the posing, and the champagne energy. You just show up ready to feel like that girl.

I am so happy you’re here!

I’M JULIA - PEOPLE ALWAYS ASK ME HOW LONG I’VE BEEN A PHOTOGRAPHER FOR AND THE CLICHÈ (BUT TRUE) ANSWER IS FOR FOREVER.

I spent just over a decade photographing weddings, but everything changed when a group of clients turned friends asked me to photograph them during a girls weekend. What started as a “why not?” Turned into uncovering my calling. I now photograph out of my cozy studio tucked away in downtown Clarkston, where I create a space for women to feel powerful, playful, and totally in their element. Whether you’re here to celebrate, heal, or just to finally see yourself the way others do, I got you. Let’s make some magic!

“I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH AMAZING THINGS ABOUT JULIA AND MY PHOTO SESSION WITH HER!”

“She is amazing at what she does and is truly passionate about her work. She made the whole thing so fun and easy with someone awkward in front of the camera like me! She makes you feel so comfortable and relaxed. I would have not done this session with anyone but her!”

“THE AMOUNT OF TIMES I HAVE LOOKED AT MY PICTURES SINCE RECEIVING THEM IS CRAZY!!”

“JULIA IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!”

“I was so nervous to do this because I’ve been extremely insecure about my body due to recent weight gain…BUT she made me feel so confident during the process and the pictures are STUNNING. The quality is 10/10 and the poses she comes up with are 10/10. I will definitely be coming back to Julia in the future!”
