Frequently Asked Questions
Where are you based out of and what are your travel fees?
I am based out of Greenville, South Carolina and photograph families both locally and worldwide! Travel fees apply to any session or wedding that takes place further than a 60 mile round trip from my home in Greenville. When you inquire, I'm happy to provide a custom travel quote based on your location! Travel fees vary based on distance and this is all broken down in my Investment guide.
1/5
How do I know which collection is best for me?
That's what I'm here for! After you inquire, I'll be able to ask more specific questions about what you want your session to look like and what is most important to you and make a recommendation on what collection would be the best fit for you. I'm in your corner and here to help!
2/5
My kids are at a wild stage. Can you still capture good photos?
Absolutely, yes! I am a firm believer in not waiting until the "perfect" time for family photos, because no matter what this season looks like I really believe it's worth capturing. I have a calm and fun approach that helps kids relax and be themselves even amidst "crazy" stages!
3/5
Do you shoot film?
I sure do! Film has been such a fun way to even further incorporate the nostalgia and timelessness that comes with family photos and I am so excited to officially offer it as an add-on to any session! The investment guide goes into more detail about this regarding costs and logistics but please let me know if you have any specific questions!
4/5
We tend to feel awkward in front of the camera! Will you help us feel more comfortable?
ABSOLUTELY, YES! Everyone can feel awkward at times when it comes to being in front of a camera, but I'll be by your side every step of the way encouraging you, prompting you, and documenting you in a way that allows you to relax and be your true self. You'll get your images back and be like "oh my GOSH that's us?!?! We don't look awkward at all!!!!!".
5/5
You're on the hunt for the perfect photographer and Wondering if Am I the One?!
You’re going to come across a lot of incredible options, all of whom bring something different and special to the table. The truth is, I’m not the photographer for everyone.
I'm the photographer for your family if:
You prioritize both the big things but also the little things too, like the tiny hands wrapped around yours, the quirky things your toddler does at this stage, and the spiderman costume your 5 year old won't take off.
You want photos that actually feel like your family, not just the same generic session you feel like you see over and over on social media and a photographer who will help you soak in this season while it's captured honestly for you.
You're The One!
You value genuine connection and real moments more than you do perfectly posed smiles.
You want a session that feels relaxing and fun for everyone! You want your kids to run, laugh, play, snuggle, and truly be themselves while I document it all.

Her AMAZING personality, attention to detail, and creative eye truly captured the beauty of our love story. From the intimate moments to party on the dance floor, Julia captured every single detail! Her talent and passion shine through in every shot, and we couldn't be happier with the stunning memories she has provided us. Thank you, Julia, for capturing our love story so perfectly. Could not recommend her enough!!!!
Choosing Julia as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our special day!!!

Julia is the most spectacular photographer! Not only is she the sweetest person ever, but she’s soo incredibly talented and detail oriented. She captured every detail of my wedding even better than I could have ever imagined. I know I will cherish these photos for the rest of my life!

Julia shot my Rehearsal Dinner and captured the night SO beautifully! Not to get in the way of everything being walked through. My husband and I are truly so grateful for each and every image, as she exceeded all expectations and gave us one of the best things anyone could ever ask for, memories captured! I truly cannot recommend Julia enough for any of your photo needs!
