The Full Story
FAQs
Hi! I'm Julia
Based in Montreal and the Laurentians, I travel across Canada and the EU to capture real, love-filled moments through a candid, documentary style. Whether we're in the forest, your living room, or somewhere unexpected, I focus on honest connection and those in-between moments that tell your story as it really felt—natural, unscripted, and completely you.
​
I’ve been photographing stories for years, starting out with analogue film and a camera I clung to until it finally gave out on an Italian hillside—despite layers of tape, glue, and winding it with a bobby pin. These days, I shoot with Sony gear, but that scrappy, intentional approach still shapes everything I do.
Vision
​
As your go-to candid family and portrait photographer, I’m here to capture the real, unscripted moments that make your crew you—whether that’s baking pancakes in your sunlit kitchen, chasing little ones through a wildflower field, or cozying up on the couch for story time. I’ll gently guide when needed, but mostly? I’m there to observe, to catch the in-between magic: the way your toddler reaches for your hand, that wild burst of sibling giggles, or the quiet calm of a newborn curled up on your chest.
​
Need outfit ideas that feel like you but still photograph beautifully? I’ve got you. Want location inspo that’s relaxed and meaningful? Done. Whether it’s a laid-back session at home or a golden-hour stroll at your favorite park, I’ll make sure you feel comfortable, connected, and fully present. No stiff poses, no forced smiles—just real life, beautifully captured.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Documentary Photography?
It’s all about capturing real, unscripted moments as your day naturally unfolds—like a behind-the-scenes look at your love story. I still get all the key shots, but I focus on the little in-between moments too, so your photos feel genuine and full of life.
​
What’s Your Style?
I lean into deep, moody tones with a timeless, dramatic feel—whether it’s sunny or overcast. You can check out my portrait gallery here and my Day in the Life gallery here to see what I mean.
​
Do You Take Posed Photos Too?
Definitely! While I focus on capturing those real, in-the-moment connections, I’m always happy to include a few gently guided family portraits and individual shots. You’ll get a beautiful mix of candid storytelling and classic keepsakes—so you’ll have it all, from the spontaneous giggles to the frame-worthy smiles..

I do! With nearly 20 years behind the lens and 7 as a professional editor, I personally handle every image to make sure it’s beautifully finished.
