Family photos that look like you

Family Photography

Family stories are created every day. A relaxing moment on the porch, homework at the kitchen table, a walk in the park, or sunset at the lake. Documentary-style family photography is all about capturing those moments, in the most thoughtful, artistic, and interesting way possible. Your photos are meaningful, important even. And they are filled with stories. Real-life moments, connections, and the personalities of all family members. Unique photos to hold memories you don’t want to fade.

Real-life moments, your family in a whole new light.

In my Documentary Family Photo sessions, we are capturing the essence of your family.

I cannot thank Julie enough for the photos! They are absolutely brilliant and capture the day and our personalities perfectly. I can FEEL New Orleans through them. The colors sing! I planned a surprise second line for my husband’s birthday and she helped keep my surprise all the way until showtime. I wish she were in Tampa to do our family photos as well. Thank you again!

Julie worked with us to create the perfect plan to capture candid/real life and a few posed pictures. We cannot say enough good things about our experience with her. She’s very professional, highly responsive, super personable, incredibly talented and just melded right in with our family. She captured us authentically and the photos are absolutely gorgeous.

Julie was so great to work with. We had pictures done with our 3 month old in City Park and she was awesome. It wasn’t too posed and she got a ton of great shots in, even though our little guy was having a bit of a meltdown. Definitely booking again in the future!

“We have contracted Julie twice for family photo sessions. Each session, we did a few posed family pictures. After those, her approach to the family sessions – letting the children play, explore and be themselves – resulted in stunning photos that capture our children for who they are.”

Frequently Asked
Questions

Clients often ask what they should wear for their family photo session. The most important thing to keep in mind, is that I want you to feel comfortable, feel confident, feel yourself. You will not hear me say you have to wear certain colors, or have to match your outfits perfectly. If that is what you do on a daily basis, then great, go for it. But if your family usually looks like a unique Disney meets Spiderman meet
Let’s talk about it! On this website, I have listed the most common types of photo sessions I offer. However, over the years, I have built up extensive experience in different types of photography as well. Stage photography, birth stories, corporate events, headshots, product photography. I would love to hear more about your project.
I feel ya. All the questions. All the time. I am one of those people who wants to feel confident they made an informed choice before spending my hard earned money. And even more so when it comes to a very personal experience, like letting a photographer into my home, my life and close to my loved ones. A chat on the phone, facetime, or meeting up for a coffee, allows you to ask all the questions, and what is even better, I get to know you before we start our session together. To make sure I can sit down and really listen to you, scheduling a phone call or in person consultation (New Orleans only) is ideal. An email or text message works at any time of course.
