hi I’M JULIA!

Welcome to my little nook of the internet. I’m a Texan living in Barcelona, Spain with my hunky husband and eating my body weight in tacos. I’m a creative soul, dreamer, educator and go-getter. I’m passionate about encouraging people to live out their purpose in life and I’d like to think of myself as your personal hype woMANN, cheering you on over here on the sidelines. ;)

Photography has always been something I’ve had a huge passionate for and my dream is to encourage people and to tell people’s stories in hopes that they would remind you that you’re never alone.

Here on my blog, you’ll find lots of free + helpful photography tips, my easy to use Lightroom editing presets, travel + lifestyle tips, encouragement and little tidbits of our lives living abroad.

So grab a cup of coffee (or two) and stay awhile! I’d love to connect with YOU! Drop on by and say hi! :)

mis amigas son muy linda 😍
I didn't grow up playing sports like the others kids because first of all I was uncoordinated. Like I'm talking taking girls dowwwwn at my dance recital cause I wouldn't stop spinning hahaha...yup...true story 😂🤭 ⁣ ⁣ On a more serious note, I had rheumatoid arthritis - a painful and crippling disease that has no cure & causes aches and swelling. I describe the pain as if you were to break a bone or if you've ever had a really bad fever with body aches - it feels like that all the time. Bleh.⁣ ⁣ Working out was actually prescribed by my doctors but I haaated it. I always felt like people were looking at me and compared myself to everyone. My mom was in the health & fitness industry for awhile and taught me works outs, we tried to foods together and got me a personal trainer. The hardest part was always getting to the gym BUT afterwards I always felt ahhhmazin. 🤩⁣ ⁣ I'll be celebrating two years next month of NO MORE PAIN. NONE. NADA. God healed me completely!!! (Crazy story but that's for next month 🤪) ⁣ ⁣ Anyways today I worked out for the first time in months (probs around 6 🙃😬) and y'all, I feel good. I was nervous about going. Didn't want to go and was thinking of excuses but John pushed me in going and keeping my word to a friend. (Yaaaasssss to accountability)⁣ ⁣ I kept thinking of the verse 1 Corinthians 10:31: "So, whether you eat or drink, or WHATEVER you do, DO ALL to the glory of God." 🙌🏼 ⁣ ⁣ Okay this is turning into another one of my micro blog posts buuuut all that to say, I'm learning to not view discipline as a chore or something to check off my to do list, but as a way to say thank You Jesus for ALL that you do for me.⁣ ⁣ Thankful for this NEW body, for no more pain, for a body that move, jump, dance (without taking down people 😂). ⁣ ⁣ Do you struggle with being disciplined when it comes to health/wellness? Pls tell me I'm not the only one and how you get out of the rut of "not wanting to." 😇
I read this quote today and couldn't keep it to myself so I just had to share! ⬇️⁣ ⁣ "When Jesus looked down from the cross, he didn't think "I am giving myself to you because you are so attractive to me." ⁣ ⁣ No, he was in agony, and he looked down at us - denying him, abandoning him, and betraying him - and in the greatest act of love in history, he STAYED. ⁣ ⁣ He said, "Father, forgive them, they don't know what they are doing." ⁣ ⁣ This message is John and I's WHY. ☝🏼⁣ ⁣ It's why we choose to love each other no matter what. ⁣ It's why we choose to show each other grace. ⁣ It's why we strive to be slow to anger + slow to speak.⁣ It's why we work together as a TEAM.⁣ It's why we forgive each other quickly. ⁣ It's why we strive to put each other's needs before our own.⁣ It's why we wake up every morning and do what we do.⁣ ⁣ We aren't perfect at any of this and we work on it each day, leaning on Jesus because HE radically changed both of our lives and gives us love + grace each day so we too can extend it to others.⁣ ⁣ The creator of the universe loves us - not because we were lovely to Him, but to make us lovely in Him. 🧡
oh ya know, just hanging in Bar-SEA-lona with my cute new friend. swipe to see more pics! 🤗 ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ edited with my lightroom desktop preset pack "neutral" from my #mannmadepresets! shared on my stories today how I edit and added it to my highlights! 🤳🏼
As I was wrapping up my photography business in Austin before moving abroad, I started to question what photography would look like once we moved to Spain. ✈️⁣ ⁣ I knew that in this season, I wouldn't be taking paid clients, so it made me ask: God, what's next for me? 🤔⁣ ⁣ I didn't have peace about throwing in the towel and stopping photography all together. BUT I did have peace about using my camera to build community with other creatives, document memories + share stories. 📷⁣ ⁣ No matter what my future holds, I think I'll always be a photographer, whether it's my full-time job or it's just a hobby or side hustle. I believe that God designed me to be creative and that He desires me to use my creativity to connect with other artists + to care for them. 🤗⁣ ⁣ I'm learning to enjoy taking photos just because - no strings attached and it's been so freeing. 💃🏻⁣ ⁣ So if you're in the creative industry, don't forget to make some time to create for fun cause it's good for the soul. 🥳
Fun lil fact about me: I drink iced coffee year round. Yup. Even when it's cold outside.⁣ ⁣ And while I'm on the topic of coffee, I can't hop on the whole pumpkin spice latte trend. Tried it once and wasn't a fan. Rather eat pumpkin pie than drink a PSL. ⁣ ⁣ Who's with me? 😂 Are you a PSL drinker? Love it or hate it? Tell me your verdict below 👇🏼🤪⁣ ⁣ (Swipe for some snaps of this cute coffee shop we went to in Prague ☕)
We escaped the Barcelona heat this weekend to CZECH out Prague 🤪 But in all seriousness 😉... The past three days were spent with the crew unplugged, praying + encouraging each other, dancing (got videos to prove it) and laughing a lot. We spent time reflecting on all the cool things God has done and the prayers He has answered in short amount of time we have lived here. I've started writing down my prayers and it's been sweet to watch God answer them + go ABOVE AND BEYOND IT. 🙏🏼 Entering the week with a heart that is FULL... and also my belly... I need to just eat my body weight in veggies this week hehe. 🤭
When we were looking for an apartment here, I fell in love with the first place we saw. In fact I had my heart set on it and thought it was the best one...even though we hadn't see any others haha.⁣ ⁣ But John, being the sweet and logical one (praise), insisted we look at other flats before making a decision.⁣ ⁣ Then we saw this one. And y'all, I fell in LOVE with it.⁣ ⁣ It was cheaper than the first one we looked at, a two min walk from our best friends (yay!), came FULLY furnished and felt like "home" when we walked in.⁣ ⁣ See, I thought I knew what was best. I thought the first one was going to be it. I thought I knew what was best for me.⁣ ⁣ I was wrong. Very. Haha. And time and time again, Jesus graciously reminds me that HE has a far better plans than us and I just need to be patient.⁣ ⁣ Anyways, I'm thankful to have a home + for Jesus' provision in every step of the way! We are so excited to host family + friends when they visit, have Bible studies, church gatherings, gals nights, yummy dinners, hang outs and more. Our prayer is that people will feel so loved and cared for when they walk through the door. ⁣ ⁣ Also, we got food, so come hungry. And stay as long as you'd like, cause here in Spain, time ain't no thang. 😉 #casademanns
To be candid, there are days that are really hard living abroad - adapting to a different culture, having a constant language barrier, being away from family and friends + all comforts of home, etc. ⁣ ⁣ BUT time and time again, Jesus reminds me that our joy comes from Him and we can rejoice in this and take comfort in what He did for us on the Cross. And I'm forever grateful for His unfailing love + sacrifice.⁣ ⁣ I'll keep this caption short and leave ya with a verse that has been speaking to me lately + it's something I'm working on each day. 👇🏼⁣ ⁣ "Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content." - Philippians 4:11 ✨
As a photographer, shooting was my favorite part and editing was my least favorite part. 🙊⁣ ⁣ But over time, I started to actually enjoy editing. I began to familiarize myself with Lightroom (an amazing editing software) and then started creating my own presets that made editing fun while also speeding up the process! WOO!⁣ ⁣ Today I'm sharing my editing process using my presets on my new IGTV video! Swipe for a lil teaser + go to my IGTV channel by clicking on the TV icon next to the grid to see the full video! (Also I edited it to be 2min because I thought the 7min would bore you guys haha)⁣ ⁣ If you're wanting your editing to be a breeze, you're a fan of true to color skin tones, earthy vibes and want minimal editing/adjusting, my presets are just for YOU! ⁣ ⁣ Click on the link in my bio to learn more and to shop my affordable mobile + desktop presets! ⁣ ⁣ And a BIG thank you to everyone who has showed your support and purchased them! ✨ #mannmadepresets
On July 31st, 2014 we had our first date. We met at a park and went hiking in the Texas heat and after being drenched in sweat, we parted ways to get cleaned up for dinner. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ After scarfing down my steak, John turned to me and asked, "would you rather watch a movie or go on an adventure?" ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I said "adventure" because I was eager to see what this guy had up his sleeves. 😏 ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ He drove us to a neighborhood construction sight, where we laid on the hood of his car, star gazed and shared stories.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ And the past five years together have been just that... an adventure.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Although adventures are fun, they aren't always easy. There's things that "come up" and times when "things don't go as planned." But I think that's the beauty in it.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Until about two years ago, I had my whole life planned out. In fact, the Type-A in me had a five, ten and fifteen year game plan for my life. Yuuup.⁣ ⁣⁣ Then one day, God told me His plans and dreams for my life. And let me tell ya, they were sooo much bigger (and better) than mine. 🙌🏼⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ It's not always easy to say yes when God calls us into something. But that's where FAITH comes in and that's when the adventure begins. ⁣ ⁣ God is with me every step of the way, leading, guiding and protecting me. And He's doing the same for YOU. Praying you'll be quick to say YES to the adventure God has for your life. 💛⁣ ⁣ (Photo by: @wayfarerphotography_ )
