Have you ever had a portrait that made you feel seen, not just photographed?
You’ve grown into a woman who’s stronger, wiser and more full of life than ever before.
Maybe it’s been years since your last portrait. And, maybe you’ve never had one that truly felt like you.
You know it’s time, but stepping in front of the camera can still feel awkward and uncomfortable, especially if you’ve never worked with a portrait photographer who understands how important it is to help you feel at ease.
That's why you’re not looking for a fast, stiff photo session.
You want to feel relaxed, confident and photographed in a way that feels natural.
You want images that reflect your story and your strength.
And when your photos feel true to who you are, something shifts.
You stand taller. You speak up. You show up more fully in your life and work.
Ultimately, you deserve images that make you feel proud every time you see them and every time you share them.
Let’s create authentic, powerful portraits that reflect who you are.
Hi, I’m Julie.
I know what it’s like to feel unsure in front of the camera. Many of the women I work with tell me they haven’t had a photo they love in years, sometimes ever. They're nervous, but they also know they’re ready. Ready to be seen. Ready for what’s next. That’s where I come in.
I’m a Rocklin, CA based portrait photographer who helps women over 40 create powerful, authentic images that reflect who they are. Whether you need photos for your business, your brand or your own personal growth, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. And, keeping it fun is my number one goal.
It all starts with a conversation. We’ll talk about where you are, what you’re building and what you want your images to say about you. From styling and wardrobe to the energy you want to bring, we’ll plan it all together. And, you don’t need to know how to pose. That’s my job. Your only job is to be yourself and trust the process.
Together, we’ll create portraits that help you show up with clarity, confidence and purpose.
Images that show the world not just what you do, but who you are. Images that open doors, support your goals and reflect the story you’ve worked so hard to build. Because when you’re ready to grow, your images should grow with you. I’d be honored to help you take that next step.
Here's How We Can Work Together
Business Portraits
Whether you're launching something new, growing your business or stepping into a bigger role, you need images that reflect who you are and how you want to be seen.
From clean, polished headshots to fully customized branding sessions, we’ll create portraits that feel authentic, look professional and help you show up with confidence on your website, LinkedIn, social media and more.
These aren’t just images. They’re how you build trust, make a lasting impression and attract the opportunities you’ve been working toward.

This is more than just a portrait. It’s a way to honor who you are at this moment in life.

Because you deserve to exist in photos you love; images that reflect the incredible woman you are today.
