Julie has taken pictures at our daughter's birthday parties the past three years, and we look…read moreforward to having her come back every year. She's so warm, friendly, and personable that she feels like part of the family now. It would feel wrong not to have her there!
The great thing about Julie is that she doesn't push her idea of what would make a good shoot on you. She lets you be you and captures the moments, natural and unposed. She has a great feel for what makes a good picture, and she'll always load you down with tons of great shots to pick from after she's done. Her camera work is impeccable, and I love the options she offers for preserving the special moments she captures, like the photo books she offers.
We picked Julie after having a bad experience with another photographer for our daughter's first birthday. That photographer insisted in posing us according to her vision, with the result that we all felt stiff, unnatural, and pressured. It didn't help that the first photographer insisted on having us wear clothes we were uncomfortable in and made insensitive comments about our weight and appearance. I wondered if all professional photographers were like that, which made me approach Julie with some trepidation. But she turned out to be the complete opposite of what we had that first year. She made us feel relaxed and happy. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, or a better photographer. She's great at what she does, and she's a terrific person to boot. I recommend her 100 percent.
