ABOUT JULIE
I believe photographs are more than images —
they are stories, memories, and proof of love.
My journey into photography began with my own children. Like so many parents, I wanted to remember every detail — how small they were, how they made me feel, the quiet moments that pass far too quickly. What started as a desire to hold onto those memories became a lifelong passion for preserving family stories with intention and care.
As I began photographing other families, something unexpected happened.
People didn’t just smile when they saw their images — many were deeply moved. Some cried. In the best way.
Because when you truly see your family — you see what you’ve built, what you’ve worked for, and what matters most.
WHY THIS MATTERS SO DEEPLY TO ME.
Loss has shaped the way I see photographs.
I have lost both a brother and a sister, and today, photographs of them are among my most treasured possessions. They are irreplaceable. They hold voices, memories, and moments that can never be recreated.
That experience forever changed how I approach my work.
It’s why I believe so strongly in tangible photographs — albums you can hold, wall art you see every day — not images scattered across phones or forgotten on hard drives.
Photographs grow more valuable with time.
A CALM GUIDED EXPERIENCE
I’ve been photographing families since 1997, and one thing has remained constant:
people want to feel confident and cared for throughout the process.
That’s why I offer a fully guided, full-service experience.
From our initial phone conversation to your in-person planning consultation, your session, and the final artwork installed in your home, you are never left to figure things out on your own.
I’ll guide you with:
-
Thoughtful planning
-
Wardrobe and styling assistance
-
Gentle posing and direction
-
Product recommendations based on your home and lifestyle
The result is an experience that feels calm, enjoyable, and personal — and artwork you are proud to live with.
WHAT I WANT FOR EVERY FAMILY
I want your children to grow up seeing themselves on the walls.
I want you to walk past your artwork and feel something.
I want your photographs to become part of your family’s history.
Furniture will wear out.
Technology will change.
But photographs — when created and preserved with care — remain.
IF YOUR HERE, YOU MIGHT BE LOOKING FOR:
-
More than digital files
-
Guidance from someone who truly cares
-
An experience that feels personal, not rushed
-
Finished artwork, not decisions left for “later”
If that sounds like you, I would love to begin with a conversation.
Thank you for being here and taking the time to learn about my work.
It would be an honour to help you preserve your family’s story.— Julie
