About
I love getting to be a part of special moments in people’s lives.
Photography allows me to freeze my client’s happiness and give it back to them as a memory that lasts forever.
I have been photographing portraits and events for 15 years. While I do offer package options, I always encourage people to create their own package and stay within their desired budget. For portraits, I am able to photograph in studio or on location. For events, I will accept local work or travel across the country! I love a good adventure!
I take great pride in being able to customize any package and photo experience for any client. I do not want a client to feel discouraged by pricing as I can typically discuss their budget and offer an alternative option, special for a client's specific needs. I enjoy being part of such happy occasions and being able to capture moments that last a life time!

Julie responded right away and even shot our property the same day. The property is in a bad neighborhood and 2 other photographers tried to charge us double to go do the shoot. Julie did it though and the photos turned out great! I highly recommend her! Great job Julie!

Julie Michelle was great with our family. She took her time and willingness to do shots we asked for and suggested some of her own. It was a very good experience!

She was very helpful very professional and knows exactly what to say in the aspect of work, time, place, and anything you could think of. 10 out of 10 experience would definitely contact her again. In addition she has a great personality so it was easy to talk to her on a personal level to make my ideas come to life.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I have packages but encourage people to tailor a session based on their needs. I try and customize my ability to work with clients with in their budget but I also like to offer a little something extra special for thumbtack clients whether it is a little bit of a discount or few prints as a thank you. I am always honored to be chosen to capture someone's special event or portraits.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I treat every customer separately. I try to accommodate everyone's needs and keep them in a budget that they are comfortable with. I typically like to have a phone conversation or possible an in person consultation for events- to go over expectations.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a degree from Penn State in Photo Journalism + 10 years experience in the photography business. I have photographed over 500 events and photo sessions.
