Family

Family photos that feel joyful, timeless, and FUN

Hold onto the giggles, toothy grins, and the little in-between moments

As parents we know how quickly time flies and how much you wish you could pause it. That’s why I focus on genuine, joy-filled moments—the laughter between poses, the little giggles, and the smiles that define your family. Let’s stop the clock for a bit and create memories you’ll hold onto forever.

Once we've figured out a date for your session, I'll send over the contract. After you've signed the contract (it's super easy online) then you'll pay the retainer to secure your session date.

02 Let's make it official!

Let's plan out your session! We can talk about any ideas you have on the location/vibe you'd like. You can read my blog post here of how to prepare for a family session (details about what to wear and expect). And of course you can ask me any questions along the way.

03 prep

The day before your session I will confirm the session time and location. I will also remind you that the final payment is due.  Your job is to show up with your nice clothes on and leave the rest to me! Let loose and have FUN!

Investment

Booking a family photographer is an investment, and choosing the right photographer makes all the difference. The truth is, this is so much more than just a photo shoot. Every session is an intentional experience. I don’t overbook or rush through sessions. I keep my calendar limited so I can give you my full attention from planning through gallery delivery.

My goal is to capture those fleeting moments that come along with having kids that grow up too fast. Your story deserves to be documented with heart, and it’s an honor every time a family chooses me to tell theirs.

Kind Words

Julia has been taking our family pictures for years and they always turn out so much better than I can imagine! She consistently delivers beautiful magazine quality images that I am excited to showcase on the walls of my home. She is excellent with children and always gets real smiles. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for top quality photos!

-Emilee D.

Stop reading reviews. Julia is the best of the best. Just hire her already! You won’t regret it! She’s magic and, frankly, I’d rather not share her. If she takes your photos, you will run into so many terribly good problems. Problems like having way too many amazing photos to choose from, not having enough wall space to display them, and getting embarrassingly emotional whenever you look at said amazing photos. 

-Becca J.

Julia did an incredible job of putting each member of my family at ease during the entire photo shoot and with a couple of less-than-enthusiastic children, that is no easy feat! Her experience was obvious as she was able to direct each person exactly where they needed to be and made the entire photo shoot both relaxed and efficient. The photos turned out better than I could have ever expected. I can't recommend Julia enough!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you help with our outfits? I don't know what to wear!

All of my sessions include a Prep and Styling Guide to help you plan your outfits and feel fully prepared for your session. You’ll receive this guide by email once your booking is complete! And of course, if you have any specific questions along the way, I’m always happy to help.

How do we pick the location?

Before you book your session, let me know if you have a specific vision or vibe in mind. From there, I’ll suggest the best location that fits your style, season, and the look you’re going for. My goal is to make sure the setting complements your family and feels just right for you.

How many photos will we receive? When do you deliver the photos?

On average, you’ll receive around 70 beautifully edited images, a mix of both posed and candid moments. The exact number can vary depending on factors like session flow and how cooperative little ones are, but rest assured—you’ll have plenty of favorites to choose from. I deliver the photos via emailed gallery link within one to two weeks. 

What happens if my child doesn't cooporate during the session?

No worries—I have lots of experience with kids of all ages and know they can be unpredictable. My Prep Guide will help you prepare, and once you arrive, you can relax and let me handle the rest.

I always feel so awkward in front of the camera, will you help me?

Absolutely! Feeling awkward is totally normal (unless you’re a full-time model). I’ll guide you every step, from fixing hair, giving posing tips, and using fun prompts to ease your nerves. You’ll feel comfortable and love your photos!

What happens if there is bad weather on the day of pictures?

If the forecast looks questionable, I’ll be in touch with you before your session. A little overcast is actually great for photos, but if it’s pouring rain or too windy, we’ll reschedule for the soonest available date that works for us both. Your experience and images matter most, so I’ll make sure we have the best conditions possible!

Do you offer mini sessions or any discounted sessions?

I offer a limited number of seasonal mini sessions each year—these are 20-minute sessions that include about 20 images at a discounted price. Mini sessions are announced in early spring and fall on my Instagram page, so be sure to follow along for updates! I don’t offer additional discounts on regular sessions.
