Why you Julia?

I have a master’s degree in caring for other people.

Literally.

In addition to being a photographer/videographer I am a licensed counselor. When I’m not working as a photographer, I spend all day, every day, thinking about other people. Caring for other people. On your wedding day, my focus is caring for you and your joy. All day(s) long.

I care about your comfort, ease, and ability to enjoy your celebration from day one. REgardless of what type of celebration you choose.

What sets me apart?

I am a photographer/videographer. I am an artist using two mediums to tell your story in one cohesive style and narrative. With me, you don’t have to choose between photo and video. You get it all.

I am an Idaho girlie and I care deeply about this land and the community. I’m a Leave No Trace girlie, an Acknowledge Native Land girlie, an All Love is Love girlie, and an All Are Welcome Here girlie.

I am bilingual and speak English and Spanish. I have spent the last 10 years learning and expanding my linguistic and cultural knowledge so that I can better serve the Spanish speaking and bilingual community. I want you and any members of your blood and chosen family to feel connected regardless of what language they speak.

I am a certified officiant and if you choose to elope, I can offer officiant services at your ceremony in both Spanish and English.

I am a traveler. I have learned so much about myself and the world from exploring corners that looks nothing like the one I come from.

I am also a multifaceted human being. I recognize that you and your story are too. So that’s always where we begin and where we return. Human centered care and connection. Experiences and photo/video that reflects it.

In all aspects of my life I strive to understand the individuals around me as best I can. To listen. To care. And as a hybrid photographer/videographer, to tell their stories in a way that honors every part of them. Not all parts are perfect -but it is not perfection that makes life meaningful. It is connection. Every part of your story is worthy. And if you’ll do me the honor, I’d love to tell yours.

  • kind words

    “We recently had the absolute pleasure of working with Julia for our engagement photos, and we couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From the moment we arrived, she made us feel completely at ease — which is no small feat when you’re not used to being in front of the camera!

    Julia struck the perfect balance of offering gentle guidance while still allowing us to be ourselves. She consistently checked in throughout the session to make sure we were both comfortable, and it truly made a difference. Her thoughtfulness extended well before the shoot even began — the location and theme she scouted for us were spot-on, and clearly planned with care.”
