Next Steps
-
Choose your photography package and date by clicking "Book a Session." A 50% retainer payment and signed contract make it official. You'll hear from me within 1-2 days to get to know your family—if we haven't worked together before—to confirm details such as location, tips on how to prepare, and help answering any other questions. I'll ask you what the kids get excited about at the moment so I'm able to come prepared with ways to engage with and quickly gain their trust. Former nanny skills come in handy here!
-
On the photo shoot day, I'll arrive and begin by meeting your kids where they're at. If we're at your home, that will look me like asking about a toy or something related to their current interests. As a former nanny, this is intuitive for me, and the best feedback I get after a session is how much fun the kids had followed by them wondering when I can come back to play. From there, we'll explore ways for the family to engage together through imaginative play, wandering through a park, etc. I have many helpful tricks and ideas up my sleeves!
-
After our photo shoot, within 2-3 weeks, you'll receive your online gallery. You're welcome to pass along the gallery to friends and family, order prints, download your digital files, and add on additional photos on top of your package total. The gallery will expire in 3 months, so back up the photos in several places for safekeeping.
-
Most people book a session 1-2 times per year depending on the age of the kids. It's one of my greatest joys to spend years getting to know and documenting families. One in particular started with baby photos, and he's now a senior in high school. The people you love become people I have so much pride to watch grow! *cue happy tears
"Julie has photographed some of the most important moments in my life including the birth of my two children, photos I will treasure forever. The recent family photos she took of us are my most prized possessions as they perfectly incapsulate the vibrant personalities of the people I love most. I always recommend Julie to friends when they ask for a great photographer in Seattle. I highly recommend Julie - she’s amazing with kids and has a great eye!"

"Julie is amazing! She has an incredible eye and her photos are beautiful. Not only is she a talented photographer, but she puts people at ease and knows how to engage even the most photo-resistant kids, making the whole experience painless - and even fun! Julie has a gift for engaging with people, especially kids.
The result is timeless, candid photos that feel effortless and capture a person's spirit perfectly.
I would recommend Julie in a heartbeat and look forward to working with her again in the future."
