I cannot recommend Julie as a photographer highly enough! She is an expert in her field with so much experience! Her studio is beautiful and has every prop/lighting/backdrop/etc imaginable. Julie is extremely easy to work with and strives to achieve whatever goals you have within the photoshoot. She is a perfectionist and ensures a level of fun, comfort, & ease throughout the shoot. You can tell that she takes the time to make sure there is a variety of poses, outfits, lighting effects, etc so that making a final decision as to what pictures to choose actually becomes really hard! I would choose Julie again in a heartbeat for all future professional photo needs!
Where do I even begin…. Julie truly is one of the best photographers I have encountered in a VERY long time. She is beyond professional, prompt, creative, and talk about an eye. She gets the job done with little to no direction. The photo world definitely encountered a gem with Julie Irene! Thank you again for capturing the true essence of our family’s love, we shall cherish these masterpieces for a lifetime. You will not regret a session with Julie. ??? ??
This review is long over due ! I had my son in March & throughout my pregnancy I had everything thought out from our gender reveal to his going home outfit, to a maternity photoshoot to everything else in between... EXCEPT a newborn session !! IDK why that never crossed my mind, but apparently those are scheduled MONTHS in advance to ensure there is a spot reserved when the time comes ! I had no idea the window for a newborn is so small (it's like a 12 day window or something like that) so they must be done right away. Timing is critical ! After a few tries of reaching out to photographers, I was referred by Holly Heine to Julie Irene ! & I am SO glad she pointed me in her direction !! Right off the bat I was amazed at her work (I am a photographer myself, so I am very picky !!!!). Julie's work does not scream tacky JCPenny photo session. You can tell right away that every session is unique & catered to ones individual style ~ I just LOVE that !!! I felt very confident upon booking the session with her & was excited. We ended up doing a family session & I added the make up artist onto the package (worth it in my opinion, when you're a new mom getting ready is an impossible task sleep deprived !). The clothing she provides from her prop room for your little one are all hand made by herself & so adorable & timeless. When it was time to go take a look at the photos (a couple weeks later), I was amazed. She had so many options, it was a bit overwhelming but she made it easy to help narrow it down. Our package included a folio box which is an awesome investment ! It is sitting in our living room today. She also sends high res jpegs so you can get those printed on your own at a lab which is awesome. Photos are so important to me, they solidify the memories making them eternal. So yes Julie Irene I'd 10000% recommend. The fact she took me in last minute is amazing !!! She was so patient with scheduling us, the first day we couldn't make it & she could of charged some sort of fee but didn't. She is very patient, & understanding ! She is very gentle & is a baby whisperer with your newborn ! If you are looking for a newborn photographer, book your session here. The next round I will be booking her again !
