My whole life I been someone that values good quality photos. My mother was an avid photographer and I have followed in her footsteps, always having a camera within arms reach. Ever since giving birth to my first baby, my most valued possessions are the photos I have taken of my family and I want to make sure that all of my fellow PGH mamas have beautiful photos to look back on and cherish forever.
My goal is to showcase your family in the most real way possible. I aim to capture the intimate, in-between moments, not just a perfectly posed smiley version of your family. I know that some of my favorite photos of my boys are some of the faces that often get overlooked in family photography. I love the pouty faces, the silly faces, and especially the faces that come from tender moments of comfort from mama.
I know more often than not mothers are the ones behind the camera, and I hope my photography inspires you to schedule a session and get in the photos with your babies.

"Where do I start?! Julie was wonderful to work with!! She captured the bond between my one year old and myself!! Memories I will cherish forever. She is super kind and I now feel like we are friends! I can’t wait for Julie to capture my family again!"
"My son was almost one, and I had virtually no pictures with him. Thanks to the pandemic, I didn't get maternity photos, and we didn't get newborn pictures of him, either. I found Julie online and LOVED her work. Specifically, I was drawn to her "Mama + Me" photography. I was really proud of our breastfeeding journey and wanted to capture it in a few photos, as well. So I reached out and set up a Mama + Me / 1st birthday photos session. I was a little nervous about the photos I'd be in. I'm not in the shape I was pre-baby, and I'm still getting used to this new mom body. Let me just tell you... JULIE IS AMAZING!! She's an absolute professional and made me feel so comfortable. My son also adored her! She captured so many special little details and perfect moments. She really is an artist. I couldn't be happier with our photos. I felt beautiful! Do yourself a favor, and set up a session with Julie. You'll be so happy you did!"
"Julie is amazing!! I was worried that taking pictures in my yard toward the end of the day wouldn't turn out-- but she totally nailed it. It looks like we are in a beautiful park and she was a total trooper with our 95 lb. dog and 9 month old son who hadn't napped all day. She was able to capture some really special moments and gave us something that we will now have to enjoy forever. I would use her again and again for family photos. Thank you Julie!"
"Julie had recently taken family/maternity photos for me that were absolutely beautiful. The experience was a pleasant one. Having a toddler to manage and being outside in the cold for the pictures, Julie was patient, efficient, and very accommodating. Julie is professional yet brings a sense of comfortability to the shoot. I will definitely use her again and have recommended to friends and family."
"Julie captured a very special time in my son’s life through our mama and me mini session. Our pictures turned out beautiful and they are something we will treasure for a lifetime. Julie truly is a professional, not to mention an incredibly kind person (as is her awesome welcome crew)! Thank you for everything!"
"I had my first mommy + me session (I say first because I plan on doing more) with Julie and I cannot even begin to put into words how incredibly grateful I feel to have been on the other side of her camera. Not only did our pictures turn out absolutely beautiful, she made me, a 2 month postpartum mom who is a little self conscious about her body, feel so relaxed and comfortable with having my picture taken. I love how candid they are and how much love they show that I have for my son and I already can’t wait to schedule my next session with her!"
