    "Julia is hands down a dream photographer for any moment you entrust her to capture.

    She is kind hearted and genuine while also being professional and knowledgeable in her field. She photographed our wedding and one year anniversary and the images are not only aesthetically beautiful, but also communicate all the feelings and emotions of the moment. “ -Rachel

    "JULIA IS THE BEST! Julia shot our wedding and has been the sweetest friend ever since. She has such a calm and comforting presence on a wedding day, the most talent and creativity in capturing things beautifully, and can make anyone feel fabulous and comfortable in front of her camera!!!

    Will forever treasure having our day captured by her!!” - sarah

    "I was BLOWN AWAY by Julia's work! She has the sweetest soul and is so easy to talk to and get to know. She was such a calm presence on our day

    and I knew I could rely on her for our time frame and what I wanted that day to be about. You know she LOVES what she does, and that’s so important when looking for any kind of photographer. She made things very personal, and even though we thought we were the most awkward couple in the world, she somehow managed to make us look like models...highly recommend her to any and everyone!!!!” -Megan
