You Deserve to Be Seen, Known, and Celebrated
Your session isn’t just about the final photos
It is about how you feel during the process AND the images you take home.
My goal is to create a space where you can relax into yourself,
where your love and emotions can unfold naturally,
and that you can look back on and think…
“Wow, that was a so much fun” or
“I was surprisingly comfortable” or
“We felt so connected”
I recognize how vulnerable and honestly plain weird
it can feel to be in front of the camera. That’s why I think it’s so important
to take the time to get to know you and your loved one(s) before I photograph you.
The more I get to know you, your story, and preferences,
the more I can curate an experience that is
not awkward or uncomfortable and instead, full of joy, love, and comfort.
Because that is when the magic happens.
Because the best photos aren’t about perfectly posing yourself.
They’re about trust. About capturing the way you love,
the way you love your partner, family members, an equine companion,
or how you’re learning to love yourself. My job is to hold space for that love,
curate a meaningful experience, and translate all of
that into images that feel as real and powerful as the moment itself.
If you’re looking for photos that go deeper,
I’d love to create with you.
Hi, I’m Julia
(she/her/your new fave photog)
Here’s a Bit About Me!
I’m a neurodivergent, queer, fat, Vermont-based photographer.
I know what it feels like to step in front of a camera
and wonder if the person behind it truly sees you.
I also know what it’s like to feel seen, held,
and known in front of someone’s camera.
And that’s why I approach photography differently.
My work is informed by my own intersectional point of view
and trauma informed ethos. My sessions are built on
trust, care, consent, and the freedom to show up exactly as you are
without the weight of conventional beauty standards or expectations.
I spent years studying criminal justice the ways our world shapes
who gets seen and valued and who is punished and marginalized.
Now, I use that understanding to create space for people
who may not have always felt at home in traditional photography settings
because of their body size, gender identity, or just the simple fact
that being photographed can feel so vulnerable.
If I’m not behind the camera, I’m probably daydreaming about community building,
hanging out with my partner, playing with our kitties, or thinking of new ways to
make photography a more intentional, affirming experience.
I love hiking, gardening, hanging with horses, and anything that gets me outside.
Adventurous elopements are my recent obsession so if you’re planning to elope
in the Adirondacks or Green Mountains… Please let me join you!
If you’re looking for photos that help you feel safe, celebrated, and like yourself,
I’d love to create something meaningful with you.
