Illustrate your family story
Having a photography session is more than just getting pictures. It is having photos to look back and reminisce on. It is having photos to hang in your home for your children and yourself to see often. It is having photos to pass down to your children (and grandchildren) years from now.
But you probably realize that and that's why you are here, right?
The process leading up to and including our session is just as important as the photos themselves.
I am with you every step of the way through this to help in any way that I can. Once you book your session I start gathering all the important details and give you all the tools needed to prepare for your session.
I am just as excited as you are to have a session and can't wait to capture this amazing time in your life! I promise you are in the right place!

No one deserves a session more than a Mom.. who doesn't have time to plan it.

"Working with Julie was an amazing experience! She was incredibly accommodating and helpful when scheduling. So responsive and quick! During the session, she was great with our baby girl and even more amazing with our dog! We are so happy with all the photos and the final edits. The turnaround time was incredible. 10/10 would recommend!!"

"Julie was an absolute joy to work with for our newborn shoot. She was very responsive from start to finish, kind and just put me at ease during the shoot when my baby just wanted to fuss. Julie also provided us with her guide to prepare for the shoot, which was incredibly helpful in making us look more “put together” in our photos."

"Julie knocked it out of the ballpark. She took my maternity and newborn pictures as well as a newborn video. Beautiful. She really got to know us as a family and perfectly captured this special and magical time of our lives. The photos and video are works of art that I'll always cherish. Thank you, Julie!"

"It has been an amazing experience working with Julie. Not only is she a professional but her pleasant presence during the photoshoot calmed me down. Her work is fantastic and the process of making your vision a reality is so seamless and efficient. Thank you Julie for making this photoshoot all the more memorable for us and it was such a pleasure to work with you!"

The process of making your vision a reality is so seamless and efficient
"Julie is without a doubt one of the most skilled photographers I’ve ever worked with! She did both my newborn shoot and my maternity shoot and my friends and family were blown away. I’ve had so many people say that my maternity shoot photos could be on the cover of a book they are that impressive! My newborn shoot was really tough because my baby would not stop crying the whole time, but Julie still got the most amazing pictures and made it seem like nothing out of the ordinary happened at all. I would recommend her to anybody in a second. Not only is she extremely skilled in what she does but she is incredibly professional, attentive, and kind. I can’t say enough great things about Julie and her business!"

"Julie did a wonderful job with my maternity/family photos! When I reached out to Julie initially, she was quick to respond, helpful in answering all of my questions, and accommodating with arranging a place and date/time for our photoshoot. We asked Julie to do our photos at our home -- she gladly trekked around our property up hills and through hay and soybean fields to get us the "harvest season" feel we wanted for our photos. She perfectly captured our vision! She sent us a sneak peek the following day and we were blown away. The rest of the pictures she sent later that week were just as beautiful. We plan to do annual photos for our family greeting card and can't wait to ask Julie to photograph our family again!"

"We used Julie for our newborn shoot and she was amazing! Super responsive and so helpful from timing, to planning outfits and getting pictures back to you quickly. The platform she uses for communication and payment made the process so seamless and I really appreciated how organized it made it all. Would highly recommend Julie!"

"We loved working with Julie for our maternity and newborn photos. From her client closet (I was super grateful to not have to buy a long maternity dress for a one-time use) to her prompt replies to her honest, open, reasonable pricing to her thoughtfulness in making sure we did the shots I had requested in her pre-session surveys (I tend to get a little forgetful and/or intimidated making those requests in the moment, so I loved getting to think through things before and then know Julie would make sure it happened) she's truly wonderful to work with. Sessions didn't feel rushed, and we got our GORGEOUS photos back earlier than expected! Strongly recommend getting maternity and newborn photos to document the special time and strongly recommend Julie to do it!"

"Julie was AMAZING during our newborn session. She was very quick to respond and set up a session with. During the session she was very professional and patient with our rambunctious 15 month old, and patient with the new baby when she got fussy. The pictures turned out so amazing, and if we every need a photographer in the future, we will definitely be reaching out to her."

"I have had a fabulous experience with Julie as our family photographer! From maternity photos, mommy and me photos, and family photos with grandparents, Julie was amazing. I'm plus size and was very nervous about feeling beautiful and having a 'nice bump' and not looking fat for my maternity photos. She provided and let me try on a few maternity dresses, listened to what I wanted, and gave me lots of tips on how to stand and pose. I have loved all of the results and am so thankful for Julie's down to earth personality! Also she remembered that our nursery theme was moon and stars and she had moon and star cookies made for us when she delivered our photo package. She goes above and beyond for her clients!"

"Julie did our fall/winter maternity shoot! It was so easy to book our session with her, and she even provided dresses for me to try on and use if I wanted to. On the day of the shoot, she was so great and told us exactly what she needed to get the best pictures. She also wore a mask the entire shoot and made sure we weren’t too close to others at the photo location when our masks had to be off. Our pictures turned out great, and I would highly recommend her to other expecting moms!"

"Julie's down to earth personality and eye for photography and detail will complete any session. I worked with her for an hour for my maternity shoot on a hot day in May 2020 and it was a blast! It felt natural and comfortable just chatting away posing while she did her thing. She gives great direction on poses and even let me include my dog, Murphy! 5 STARS- Highly Recommend!"

"Julie did a wonderful job! We are so pleased with the photos and she was great to work with. She handled working with our active toddler so well. She was professional and adaptable. She came prepared to the venue, had done her own research for shoot locations and made use of the lighting. Thank you Julie!"

Common FAQs
How long is a session?
Studio sessions are typically one hour.
When will I receive my gallery?
One thing that I am always told is past clients have been so happy with how quickly their gallery was ready. I will have your photos ready for you within 2 weeks of our session (often sooner). After you pick your collection I make the final edits to those photos and they are ready for with 1 week.
How do I try on a dress from the client closet?
Once you let me know what items you would like to try on I will drop them off to your house. Often clients are not home and I just set them outside in a dress bag for you to try on at your convince.
Pick up is easy too. Depending on how soon your session is or if another client needs one of the dresses, I will either have you keep them and return them at the session or I will pick it back up and return to you before your session.
I'm so awkard in pictures!
I don't know that many people are more awkward then myself hah! So I totally get the concern but I will give you prompts and tell you exactly what to do so you are never feeling weird.
Do you offer any albums, prints, canvases, etc?
A: Yes, all of this is done & ordered right through your online gallery.
Do you offer payment plans?
A: Yes, I do! If you would like to make a payment plan I suggest paying over time between booking and your session for the minimum collecting package, That way it spreads out the payments and you can still get your images as soon as they are delivered. If you want to upgrade to a higher collection you can pay the difference at the time of viewing your gallery.
What days and times do you offer sessions?
Newborn sessions are typically held Tuesday, Thursdays and Saturdays between 9:30am-11:30am.
