Let them celebrate your story and remind you of your purpose

Your wedding photographs are a lifetime

You and I are connected through intuition and curiosity. We’re endlessly inspired by the world around us and the people in it. For more than a decade, joy has driven me behind the camera, as I see life in all of its nuance through my lens—including you.

From one deep feeler to another, I’ll tell you a secret: I’ve fallen in love with the way people let go in front of the camera. The tears, the laughter, the dance moves, the hugs with a running start—there’s something so beautifully human about all of it. And in an era of posed perfection and hollow photo ops, the delight of letting go tells a much more compelling story. A story that’s true to you.

ABOUT julie

I’m Julie, a wedding and portrait photographer based out of Austin, Texas. Over the past 15 years, I’ve made a name for myself capturing sophisticated celebrations, elevated experiences, and refined clientele around the globe. 

I’ve been to my fair share of weddings. Trends have come and gone. Traditions have fallen away for others to rise. And at the end of the day, what hasn’t changed is the universal language of photographs.

I have loved photography since I was a small girl learning from my father how to see the world through the eye of a lens. I was instantly hooked, cradling images in my hands and staring at them for hours. I knew there was a magic present in photographs - not just capturing the moment, but capturing how the moment felt. The opportunity to give this feeling to my clients at each wedding by each couple, gives me purpose.

about me

Bingeing comedy specials on Netflix. Starting and never finishing books. Hoarding too many crystals. Barling hip-hop music in the car by myself.

GUILTY PLEASURES

Breakfast tacos. Tacos in a bowl. Tacos for breakfast, lunch and dinner. In Austin, we believe they are their own food group!

My life partner and our boys (Gray and Ash) bring so much to my life. Going on adventures or anywhere in the world with my three favorite humans is home to me.

My Family

03

As an Italian, coffee may or may not run in my veins. I like to spend a few intentional moments each morning looking out at my garden while making a cup of pour-over coffee. I soak in the peaces and quiet before the day really begins.

My Favorite Morning Ritual

02

Nothing makes my heart happier than experiencing new cultures and seeing new landscapes. Work has taken me places all over the world–from New Zealand to South Africa to the Virgin Islands–but, I also love to take my family on adventures, like living in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico for a month one summer

my favorite things:

"Julie makes you feel like you've known her forever. I look at our wedding photos often and feel so nostalgic, wishing we could go back."

Kendall + Ben

“Julie was hands down the easiest decision we made during wedding planning! The images we have, both from our engagement session and from our wedding day, of us are how we want to remember the beginning of our love story.”

Kelly + Wes

“When looking for a photographer, I wanted someone who was organized, creative, warm, and friendly. Julie was so encouraging and made me feel beautiful and at ease.”

Amy + Matt

“She made my husband and I both feel so comfortable in front of the camera and captured the most beautiful and genuinely happy photos of us on our favorite day.”
