hi I’M JULIA!

I’m currently living in Austin, TX with my hunky husband. I’m a portrait and lifestyle story teller who is passionate about capturing the real and the raw.

I started my photography journey back in 2016 when I was gifted my first “official” camera. I had zero idea what I was doing, so I reached out to the pros and to the internet for advice. In doing so, I’ve created lifelong friendships, grew my business, and have met people from all over the world.

Photography has been one of the biggest blessings and has given me a desire to help other photographers grow their businesses too!

Not only will you find lots of helpful photography freebies around here, but I also like to share travel tips, encouragement, and little tidbits about our life.

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

“How the heck am I suppose to get clients?”⁣ “I don’t have any experience.” ⁣ “There is no way someone is ever going to pay me because I’m new in the photography industry.”⁣ ⁣ ☝🏼Ever thought this to yourself? ⁣ ⁣ If the answer is yes, um hiiii I’ve been right there with ya. 🙋🏻‍♀️⁣ ⁣ It wasn’t until a couple months after John and I got married, that I was gifted a camera! ⁣🎉 ⁣ Shortly after I had my first ever PAID shoot with a sweet Instagram friend @brihillman. 👱🏻‍♀️ ⁣ And from then on, I started to get more and more inquires and have grown my business! 🤓⁣ ⁣ So, if you’re struggling to book clients or maybe ya just know where to start - I was in the same boat as you not too long ago. ⁣ ⁣ Here are THREE ways that YOU too can book MORE clients AND get paid!👇🏼⁣ ⁣ TIP #1: Start taking photos of your friends/family/collab with models in your area for practice. Then start posting your work on your social media accounts so people can see. 📷
⁣ TIP #2: Connect and build an authentic community with other photographers in your area. This is why I started @creativetribeco! It’s such a great community of photographers from ALL OVER THE WORLD! 🤳🏻
⁣ TIP #3: Announce you’re booking sessions on your social media accounts and then create a pricing guide to send over to inquiries so people know you mean business! 👩🏻‍💻
⁣ BOOM! That’s it. You got this friends! I’ll be over here cheering you on every step of the way! 👏🏼⁣ ⁣ You just gotta believe in yourself & go after it! 🤗
Currently thinking about tacos, but that’s nothing new. 🤷🏻‍♀️ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I’m making chicken street tacos for bible study tonight and drooling just thinking about it...🤤 (hmu if you wanna join us tonight! Totally being serious hehe it’s all my internet friends that come over for bible study! #tacosandjesusarelife 🤪) ⁣⁣ Serious question: What’s your taco order? I order the Democrat at @torchystacos or Al Pastor. But then again, I never ate a taco I didn’t like! Hehe okay now tell me your go-to!👇🏼🌮⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ (also this is a sneak peak of a new mobile preset I’ve been working on + coming SOON!)
Do you know what kills success? Pride. I did a lot of wrestling with it when I began my photography career. I was prideful in my work and sought out validation from others. I was so fixated on what other people thought and how they valued me. ⁣ ⁣ I believed the lie that the more money I made, the more I was worth. I would come home from a long day of shoots expecting my husband to validate my hard work because I brought in an extra ___ amount of money. I worked long hours on top of a full time job and nine million other things I put on my plate. ⁣ ⁣ After a ton of mental breakdowns and being close to just throwing the towel in, I knew I had to do something different because how I was running my business was exhausting and selfish. ⁣ ⁣ So, I surrendered my business to Jesus. I told Him, “God whatever you want me to do with photography, do it. If you want me to go full time, I’ll do it. If you don’t want me to go full time, I’ll do it. Use my photography to love people more than myself.”⁣ ⁣ That was my prayer. And it was hard one to pray and something I have to ask DAILY. In surrendering my business and finances to God, I’ve found a lot of hope, peace and rest. ⁣ ⁣ My business has been a sweet way to meet with people, I’ve gotten to share Truth with other women, read the Bible with people and pray over people who are hurting. ⁣ ⁣ God continues to reminded me that if He can make sure the grass grows and the birds are fed, then heck yeah He can make sure I’m taken care of. ⁣ ⁣ God has your back. So if you’re feeling burnt out, overwhelmed, annoyed or confused — throw yo hands up and let Jesus take the wheel. He will take care of the rest, we just gotta trust Him in doing so. 🙏🏼💫
I will praise You ⁣ in the mundane⁣ in the chaos⁣ in the difficult⁣ in the calm⁣ in the quiet⁣ and in the joyful seasons⁣ ⁣ in every season,⁣ I will praise Him 🙌🏼⁣ ⁣ this is my daily prayer. ⁣ ⁣ loving this sweet reminder from @jenessawait shop! use my code JULIA15 to receive 15% off your order. happy sunday y’all! 🌿
A HUGE congrats to these two for welcoming their baby girl into this world last night! What a GIFT! So excited for you guys! 💛
Austin will always have a special place in my heart. ⁣ ⁣ It’s where I grew up, went to high school, had my first job (and lots of other jobs 🤣).⁣ ⁣ It’s where I met my some of my best friends and my cute husband. ⁣ ⁣ It’s where we got married. ⁣ ⁣ It’s where I started my photography business. ⁣ ⁣ It’s where my internet friendships turned into real life friendships. And some of those gals have become near and dear to me. ⁣ ⁣ And it’s the city where I got to witness people meet Jesus for the first time which made our hearts long for others to experience this same love, but in a different place. ⁣ ⁣ As our time in Austin is coming to an end in the next three short months, I can’t help but stand in awe of Jesus’ faithfulness. He’s provided every step along the way, has turned my fears into hopes, and has brought us on the greatest adventure. ⁣ ⁣ I’m so grateful to call this city home and to know so many amazing people. Also... I’m going to miss tacos a lot so if anyone wants to ship us tacos to Spain, I wouldn’t be mad. 😉🤤 #lifeasthemanns
I began my photography career three years ago. All I had was a dream and a hand me down camera. I had no clue how to work my camera, but I knew I wanted to share stories. I didn’t have fancy gear or high-end editing software. ⁣ ⁣ I edited my photos on my iPad and sent them through google drive. I bought $12 editing presets on Etsy and edited my photos with those. I was working a 9-5 job as a recruiter and then doing up to seven shoots a weekend. ⁣ ⁣ I reached out to photographers in my area to learn from them and spent hours watching a TON of YouTube videos and listening to podcasts to teach myself. I was hungry to learn. ⁣ ⁣ Being a business owner and your own boss isn’t a walk in the park. It took a lot of grit. I said no a lot. And at times said yes too much. I cried happy tears and stressed out tears. I failed, learned and grew. Heck I still am learning and growing every day. ⁣ ⁣ My point? It doesn’t matter if you don’t have fancy equipment, don’t know how to edit yet, or if ya just don’t squat. ⁣ Don’t let your lack of understanding or lack of equipment stop you from pursuing your dreams and goals. Because it’s not about those things at all! ⁣ ⁣ You can create stunning photos and share meaningful stories with a $200 camera just as much if you had thousands of dollars of camera gear. ⁣ ⁣ I’ve still got a long away to go, but just wanted to pop on here and remind ya, that no matter what your dreams are, it’s a process and don’t be discouraged by other people’s success. ⁣ ⁣ Everyone grows at different rates. Be patient and be kind to yourself. 🌸🌿🙌🏼⁣
Hi 👋🏼 there are a lot of new faces around here so I wanted to pop up and say hi and share some random facts about me that ya might know. ⁣ ⁣ 1. I turn 25 next Sunday - woohoo! 🥳⁣ 2. I married my best friend after college. 🥰⁣ 3. I’ve lived in Austin my whole life. 🦄 (But not for long!)⁣ 4. My husband and I are moving to Barcelona in June for a couple of years with two other married couples (our bffs) to do ministry full time! 🙏🏼⁣ 5. I could eat tacos errrrrday and not get tired of them. Living la vida taco. #tacosarelife 🌮⁣ 6. I LOVE DANCING. IN THE CAR. IN OUR KITCHEN. EVERYWHERE IS MY DANCE FLOOR. 💃🏻⁣ 7. I was a theater kid in middle school. 🎭⁣ 8. I’m a two wing three on the enneagram and an ENFJ. 🤓⁣ 9. I sold a majority of my clothes to build a capsule wardrobe and has been the best thing ever. All about that minimalist life. 👗⁣ 10. My Netflix go to show is The Office and always have it playing in the background when I’m editing or when I just need to unplug after a long day! 💻⁣ ⁣ Okay, well enough about me. Do we have anything in common? Tell me below or share a random fact about yo fine self! 👇🏼☺️⁣
I remember when I was thirteen writing on my fuzzy pink diary all the qualities I looked for in my dream guy. ⁣ ⁣ It looked a little something like this:⁣ - Christian ⁣(this was at the top of my list) - blonde hair & blue eyes (hi @johnclarkmann)⁣ - athletic ⁣ - funny⁣ (or thinks I’m really funny) - cute (yeah I actually put that down haha)⁣ ⁣ I dreamed about my wedding day and future. Time flew by and I went off to college and started to pray for my future husband. Seven years later after scribbling in my diary, @johnclarkmann showed up in my life and checked off all the boxes and more. ⁣ Next month we celebrate three years of marriage! Crazy how time flies by. ⁣ ⁣ So, what are some qualities you look for in your significant other? ⁣ Single or not, don’t be shy! I might know someone for ya. Tell me below!👇🏼😉 #JuliasMatchMakingBusiness #HeyIHaveCuteClients
Happy Saturday friends! I wanted to share a little sneak peek of my Lightroom desktop presets that are launching THIS month! ⁣ ⁣ It took me years to figure out what my style was as a photographer. I tried so hard to be like all the other photographers out there but felt like none of my editing was really me. ⁣ ⁣ I wanted my photos to look natural, earthy and be true to skin tones. So after lots of trial and error, late nights editing, I developed my own unique style. ⁣ ⁣ And I’m sharing it with YOU GUYS SO SOON! My goal of these presets is to help you edit your images quicker, which is why you’ll only need to make a few adjustments on your photos & to make your photos represent YOUR brand. ⁣ ⁣ I’m so excited to launch these Lightroom MOBILE & DESKTOP presets this month and can’t wait for you guys to get your hands on them! ⁣ ⁣ This is from my moody pack & will be launching a bright and airy preset pack, moody pack and natural pack! GET HYPED!! 🖤🙌🏼
The other day John and I were on a date and I was telling him about one of my photography friends and how she has been killing it lately. ⁣⁣ ⁣ Of course I was proud of her, but deep down inside of me, I envied her. I know I preach about celebrating others and hyping people up And trust me, I’m all about it. But sometimes I struggle with it. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Sometimes I get caught up being selfish and wanting what other people have & will get really down on myself. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Being the gracious and sweet man that my husband is, he reminded me of my identity. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ My identity isn’t found in how successful my photography business is, how much money I make, how many shoots I book, how many friends I have, or anything else that’s temporary of this world. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ You fill in the blanks for whatever you might be chasing after. Our worth is far greater than a paycheck, stable job or dream job, relationship status, etc. Instead, it’s found in Jesus and He tells us that we’re enough. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ So maybe you’re struggling with the comparison game and have been feeling a little (or a lot) down.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ It’s time to say peace out to those negative thoughts and start speaking truth over yourself. Wherever you’re at, I hope you know Jesus is celebrating YOU, just as you are. ✨
