Hey friend,
I'm Jules
your Photographer
I'm so glad you found me! If you're new here, there are a few things about me that you should know. I’m a labor and delivery nurse, a mama to two sweet boys with a baby girl on the way, and a woman who believes deeply in the beauty of the moments God gives us. My husband, our chocolate lab named Baby, and our love for slow mornings with homemade espresso are just some of the things that fill my life with joy. I adore people, truly. My heart is to make every person I meet feel loved, cared for, comfortable, and safe. Photography is simply another way I get to show that love back to the world.
My approach
I have always been drawn to the little moments that make life more meaningful- the soft smiles, the in-between glances, the joy that unfolds naturally. Photography has become my way to capture these moments and preserve them for others. As a family, wedding, and lifestyle photographer, I approach each session with love, patience, excitement, an genuine care.
My love for photography has grown from one simple desire: to hold on to moments we wish could last just a bit longer. As someone who cherishes family, connection, and the beauty in everyday life, I work to make your images reflect just that. Whether I'm capturing your wedding, a new motherhood journey, or you and your family just being yourselves, I focus on capturing photographs that feel timeless, heartfelt, and deeply personal.
Why choose jules?
Choosing a photographer is choosing the person you’ll trust with your most meaningful moments — and I don’t take that lightly. As a mom of two boys with a baby girl on the way and someone who genuinely loves people, nurturing others is simply part of who I am. I bring that same calm, steady, joy‑filled presence into every session.
Your experience matters just as much as your photos. I create a space where you can relax, feel comfortable, and be fully yourself — whether it’s your wedding day, your growing family, or portraits that celebrate your story. My true‑to‑color, timeless editing style ensures your images feel honest, beautiful, and full of life.
From our chocolate lab named Baby to our love for travel and slow mornings with homemade espresso, my life is rooted in gratitude and connection — and that’s exactly how I approach your session. With me, you’re not just getting photos. You’re getting care, intention, and someone who is wholeheartedly invested in making you feel loved, supported, and seen.
