Whatcha’ here for?

Wedding days come in all different shapes and sizes. Whether you're looking for a small elopement package or full wedding day coverage, we can make a custom proposal that works for you.
My superpower is making you forget I have a camera in my hands. I love engagement sessions that feel like we're just hanging out. This is also a great opportunity to get to know each other better!
All sessions are held in my private studio located in Downtown Clarkston, Michigan. Remember you are a badass bitch and you deserve to be treated like one. 21+ only.

Hi, I’m Julia!

I am so happy you’re here!

I’M JULIA - PEOPLE ALWAYS ASK ME HOW LONG I’VE BEEN A PHOTOGRAPHER FOR AND THE CLICHÈ (BUT TRUE) ANSWER IS FOR FOREVER.

I’ve walked through many alleys that led me to photographing weddings. I used to work for the Field Museum photographing meteorites, then worked as a freelancer in the automotive industry, to photographing seniors, to pets. It wasn’t until 9 years ago I discovered my niché of couples and boudoir. This is where I’m meant to be in life!

Through it all I’ve kept my quick humor, and loud laugh. There’s just some things that I’ll never be able to shake!

Quick Notes off the bat

I welcome ALL. Hate will not be entertained.

What my friends are saying

"We would hire Julia again in a heartbeat!!"

“Her work is amazing and speaks for itself but she is also an absolute pleasure to work with! Julia took our engagement photos, wedding photos and I did a boudoir shoot with her. She made us feel comfortable and we had fun every time. Julia did not only help with the photography aspect of our wedding, but answered so many other wedding questions and was a huge help all around. We're lucky to now call Julia a friend <3 Hire her!!”

"Julia is a true artist."

From our initial contact, My fiance and I felt like we were long lost best friends. Julia took the time to get to know Max and I, and created the most perfect concept for our engagement pictures. Our session was so easy and full of laughter, and Julia kept us laughing and comfortable the whole time. Our pictures were magical and captured Max and I perfectly. I wish the whole world looked the way it did through Julia's camera. You will NOT regret coming to Julia for any of your photography needs.

"Julia was a God send"

“I’m not exaggerating when I say I have no idea how my wedding would have turned out without her help. Not only does she take and create outstanding photos, but she’s there for you throughout the whole process. She was able to help me come up with a plan for my wedding ceremony after my venue postponed my reception and I had no idea what to do. You not only get a photographer when you work with Julia, you also get a friend. She is an amazing photographer and I would give her a thousand stars if I could!”
Courtney B.
"More than a photographer, she is a friend."

“When I was arriving at our wedding location, I remember seeing Julia through the window of the limo. I was so excited that I am not even sure I completely waited for the limo to stop. I jumped out and ran to her because she has become more than a photographer to my husband and me, she is a friend.”
