About
Hi, I'm Julia
Fine Art Photographer
Lover of Art
Based at the edge of the Dandenong Ranges.
Surrounded by trees, wildlife, mountains and my dogs.
With the sound of bellbirds and the soft touch of a light breeze. That's my happy place, and I'm lucky enough to call this my workspace.
My studio is one of my favourite places to be.
It's here that I create fine art portraits and capture personality and have opportunities to meet so many wonderful people.
That's why I do what I do. I love art. I love individuality.
And I love helping people discover confidence and beauty.
I get to create lifelong memories, and portraits that become my client's most treasured possessions.
"A thing that you see in my pictures is that I was not afraid to fall in love with these people."
- Annie Leibovitz
Things I LOVE
Doggos
Underwater Photography
Harry Potter
Working together
We create memories that are treasured.

5/5
"Julia has photographed two of my daughters for their agency pictures and we had such a wonderful experience. Not only are the photos top quality, she is kind, caring and incredibly supportive/helpful in making the girls feel very comfortable. One of my daughters had a bespoke shoot with Julie which was a different experience for her and again she was made to feel so comfortable. Not only does Julia explain what she's doing all along the way but makes both the model and the parent relaxed and involved in the whole shoot. Highly recommend Julia for headshot photography and bespoke!"
