About Me
Hi, I'm Julia! I’m a photographer based in the London, Ontario area. I’ve had a camera in my hand since the age of 10, when I was gifted a little Polaroid for my birthday — and I’ve been obsessed with capturing moments ever since. In high school, I took a film photography class where I learned the art of developing and processing film, and I absolutely loved it. When my dad bought me my first DSLR in grade 11, it never left my side, and I began photographing for the school yearbook.
After starting the photography program at Georgian College in 2012, I felt overwhelmed by the business side — where to start, how to get clients. I worried that no one would hire a 21-year-old college grad to shoot their wedding. Feeling defeated, I decided to return to college for culinary arts and worked as a chef and pastry chef for a while — all the while still photographing whenever I could.
When I became a stay-at-home mom, it felt like the perfect time to focus fully on my photography, build my portfolio, and continue growing in my craft. My experiences, passions, and life as a mother, wife, chef, and animal lover inspire the work I do today. Photography allows me to follow my own path while capturing the adventures, connections, and stories of others. I love documenting the moments that tell the story of your life, your love, and your beginnings.
How I tell Your Story
My photography style is rooted in capturing genuine connection and real emotion as it naturally unfolds. I take a documentary-inspired approach to your wedding day, focusing on the candid, in-between moments just as much as the big ones — the laughter, the happy tears, the quiet glances, and everything in between.
While I’ll step in to gently guide you when needed (because let’s be honest, most couples aren’t professional models!), my goal is never to overly pose or stage your day. Instead, I create a relaxed, fun atmosphere where you can simply be yourselves while I capture the authentic story of your wedding as it happens.
I believe the best photos come from real interactions, natural movement, and genuine emotion — not stiff poses or forced smiles. My approach blends storytelling with timeless portraiture so that your gallery feels both beautifully composed and true to life.
At the end of the day, I’m here to document your memories in a way that feels effortless, meaningful, and unmistakably you.
My Middle Name is Fun!
Oh and by the way, I’m also a bit of a goofball who believes that the best memories are made when everyone is having fun! I thrive on the energy of weddings and love to infuse a sense of fun into every session I shoot. Whether it’s cracking a joke to get everyone smiling or encouraging a spontaneous dance-off, my goal is to create a relaxed atmosphere where you can truly be yourselves. I’m all about creating lasting memories—not just through my lens, but also through the laughter and joy we share throughout the day. Let’s make your wedding an unforgettable adventure!
“I press pause on your life's most precious moments - so you can relive them forever.”
