Julie is the owner and sole photographer for Elizabeth Ann
Photography. Her passion for photography grew when she began
shooting pictures of her own children as babies. She would peruse
as many photo books and magazines as she could to learn more about
the art of photography. Utilizing black & white film, natural
lighting, and waiting for the candid expressions of her own
children, produced beautiful images that people admired. Soon,
people were asking her to photograph their children in the same
way. In 2002, she decided to start her own photography business
part-time while she continued her elementary teaching career. With
the demand for her photography services and her desire to stay home
with her two young daughters, Maya "Elizabeth" and Carlie "Ann",
she decided to resign after 10 years of teaching and pursue her
business further from home. In the past five years, her clientele
has grown tremondously through mostly word-of-mouth advertising.
Almost 100% of her business is from repeat customers and referrals.
Julie continues to learn and improve on her photography skills
through various classes, workshops, reading photography
books/magazines, and collaborating with other professional and
amateur photographers.
