She had studio all set up perfectly for the shoot, so we did not have to waste time cycling though backgrounds or rearranging the lighting. Her posing directions were easy to follow and she is a delight to work with. Highly recommend!

"Julie is a true professional and was able to get me a perfect headshot quickly."

Greg g.

I did a branding shoot and it was above and beyond my expectations. Tons of different shots that I can use throughout my website and social media (I didn’t think I needed so many but I’ve actually used them all- they’re so great). She has a professional, approachable, unassuming manner that puts you at ease. It was actually fun! :)

"Julie was fantastic from start to finish. She has great info beforehand to prepare and set expectations."
