The experience

Wherever you choose to be photographed, I’ll pour myself into my time with you. My goal is to step back and allow your story to unfold.

Many of my favorite photos happen beyond the studio: families exploring the great outdoors, simply being together at home or your place of business.

My Bay Ridge photo studio is warm, relaxed and cozy — the perfect setting for newborn sessions or whatever fun reason we come up with together!

What clients are saying

I was lucky enough to find Julia to photograph my family for a spring/Mothers day photo shoot in Brooklyn. The photographs are spectacular ! She was able to capture us in a natural and joyful light, and offered a calming presence to my toddler that allowed her to truly shine in the pictures. I highly recommend Julia and am so grateful for these timeless and beautiful images.

Patricia Clapp

Julia is the most talented and personable photographer I have ever worked with. She has captured all of my family’s special moments and there is no one else I’d trust to do that than Julia. Her love of her clients makes the experience extra special each time. Proud to say we have worked together at least six times. Cannot wait to book another session with Julia!

Patricia Orphanos

Working with Julia was a great experience and i would definitely reach out for future photo shoots ! For someone who has never taken professional photos before, she was great at getting my daughter and I to pose where it was very natural, grabbing the babies attention and because of her great sense of direction, we were able to capture great shots!

Alexis Funes

Amazing experience. Julia is easy to work with, attentive and brought my vision to life. She captured the best photos of my children is a fun and low stress environment. I am forever grateful for her expertise. Definitely recommend her 100%.
