I love carefree Sunday afternoons, being outdoors, the warm sun, and especially all of them together with my family.


The little ones running cracks me up.










Welcome! I’m Julie, and I have the best job on the planet. I love my clients, and I can’t help but share pretty pictures from my sessions with them. I’m also fairly obsessed with photographing my own 4 little ones, and my wonderful husband so you will most likely see them on here too.

Sunday AfternoonMay 16th, 2012I love carefree Sunday afternoons, being outdoors, the warm sun, and especially all of them together with my family. The little ones running cracks me up. |

Extended FamilyMay 9th, 2012Think New Years Eve, 2 parents, 6 kids, their spouses and children and you get one big happy family. My last session of 2011 was a big one.

Think New Years Eve, 2 parents, 6 kids, their spouses and children and you get one big happy family. My last session of 2011 was a big one. I think it was my largest group to date. The family was all together (not easy to do) and they wanted a family portrait in their yard. They planned everything, even building a swing for their tree the day before.
It all started out with just these two…

and has grown to one big happy family.











Family at the RanchApril 18th, 2012I think the Cronquist Family is my most photographed family. You can see them here, here, here, and in 2 other places much further back in the blog. They are always lots of fun, and Katie is so amazing at putting together the best looking outfits that not only look amazing as a group, but [...] |

I think the Cronquist Family is my most photographed family. You can see them here, here, here, and in 2 other places much further back in the blog. They are always lots of fun, and Katie is so amazing at putting together the best looking outfits that not only look amazing as a group, but also fit well with the location. If you need help choosing your clothing for your photo session you should really think about hiring her to help you.
This session was a gift for Grandma (which is a wonderful idea). Her two sons and their families were together for the Holidays and we had a fun, fast pace session.
















They are a huge fan of the silly faces. If you don’t at least smile when you see the next 2 images please seek help.


The Porter FamilyMarch 28th, 2012I used to babysit some of these “kids” and now they are all grown up, and one of them even has 4 of her own! Family is wonderful, and this one is extraordinary for sure. |

MothersMarch 27th, 2012These photos of my beautiful sister and her son were taken last November for a commercial project. I’m just now getting around to posting them, but I think it’s the perfect time. Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and Mom’s like photos of their favorite people — their family frozen in time forever and [...] |

These photos of my beautiful sister and her son were taken last November for a commercial project. I’m just now getting around to posting them, but I think it’s the perfect time. Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and Mom’s like photos of their favorite people — their family frozen in time forever and ever. There’s still time to sign up for a mini session (see post below) or your own full session at a location of your choice.







100 Years YoungMarch 15th, 2012This beautiful woman turned 100 last Fall, and we did a photo session with her granddaughters and great grandchildren. It was so fun to hear her tell the story of her life, and the whole time she never once stopped smiling. She loves to clean and take care of everyone else, and she is very [...] |

HappinessMarch 8th, 2012Sometimes I meet a family that is just so happy to have each other they can’t help but radiate happiness. That is the case with these 3. It was a pleasure beyond words. It’s fun to create wall displays with the photos from your session. Sometimes a grouping of photos tells a story better than [...] Pin It |

It’s fun to create wall displays with the photos from your session. Sometimes a grouping of photos tells a story better than one single one can.

It was such a privilege to be there and see the overwhelming happiness as so many families were reunited with their loved ones. After I posted the photos from that day on my blog I got [...] |

Last September I had the privilege of photographing Janel’s Family as her husband arrived home from a long deployment. It was such a privilege to be there and see the overwhelming happiness as so many families were reunited with their loved ones. After I posted the photos from that day on my blog I got such a large outpouring of kind words and requests to photograph more homecomings. I’m sure you’ll agree with me that Caryn is gorgeous, and her 2 little girls could not be any cuter in their handmade dresses made by mom.
I am still cannot imagine being without my husband for 7 months, especially with such young children. Caryn and all military families have my admiration and gratitude for all that they do. Be sure to scroll to the end for the slideshow.













Hanging out at HomeFebruary 22nd, 2012This adorable family was referred to me by a sweet client who earns lots of credits by giving out my information to her friends (make sure you ask about my client referral program). I was able to hang out with them one morning in their beautiful yard. My favorite sessions are the ones when the [...] Pin It |

This adorable family was referred to me by a sweet client who earns lots of credits by giving out my information to her friends (make sure you ask about my client referral program). I was able to hang out with them one morning in their beautiful yard. My favorite sessions are the ones when the parents and kids aren’t afraid to laugh and play in front of the camera. The kids love it and their smiles light up all of the photos. Kids are so much fun just being themselves. They don’t need fancy props, expensive outfits, or elaborately styled sets for a successful photo session. I always love to see their personality, not an act for the camera. It may take some time to warm up to me and my camera, but it’s always worth it.

The BeachFebruary 21st, 2012I’m pretty sure this session was the quickest one I’ve ever done. We squeezed it in between Dad’s business meetings, but we got some cute ones. I love the pink and navy color scheme. What gorgeous girls they have and one on the way. Yay! Her eyes are to die for. Pin It |
