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! :)

I call this series: The Gluten Girl 😂 Double tap if u luv bread (even if ur stomach might not 🥺) Also my sis said the last pic is scary but it's a #foodbaby...hehe happy Friday!! (Save this pic when u need a good laugh 😉) #breadblogger #girlswithgluten #glutengirly #carbqueen #hungrygirl #breadislife
I usually wouldn't post a pic like this because there's stuff that's distracting in the background but whatevs, here it is haha. Anywayzzz, I have a story about this day... so keep readin' 😜 ⁣ ⁣ When were coming back from Valencia yesterday, it was a HOT MESS y'all haha.⁣ ⁣ Let me just paint the picture...⁣ ⁣ There was a storm brewing and a pretty intense strike that caused public transportation to be delayed and additional chaos (but let's not get into politics). In addition, the three of us we were lugging around our belongings in the rain, and we were hungry + tired after getting off a hot three hour train ride back home. ⁣ ⁣ Now, I don't say this to complain, but to share the realness of living in a foreign country. Before moving abroad, a lot of people told me how much fun we are going to have and that they wish they could quit their jobs and live abroad too. ⁣ ⁣ I think people automatically assume that if you live in a beautiful city, that life is easy and fun. But that's not reality. Sure life is fun here, but it's still hard. There are just has different struggles than living in the US.⁣ ⁣ Just because you move somewhere different, chase your passions, have your dream job, etc, doesn't mean life just get's easier. Life is STILL hard and tough things still happen. Don't be discouraged when things go wrong or when life gets hard. It's not a "sign" to quit. It means we just gotta keep on persevering. ⁣ ⁣ James 1:2-4 reminds us: "Count it ALL joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations, knowing that the testing of your faith produces ENDURANCE. Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." ⁣ ⁣ Keep on pushing along friends, endure in troubles & continue to pray and trust God. He is taking care of ya and will provide everything you need. 🙌🏼
We all have different giftings, we come from different backgrounds, we have different hobbies/passions, but yet here we are doing the ONE thing that unites us... our hearts for Jesus. God knew we all needed each other and I am so blessed to go through life + livin' abroad together! #texanstakeonspain
How much coffee is too much coffee? #thelimitdoesnotexist 🤪
Moving overseas was never on my agenda, but it was on God's. I'm so glad we said YES to moving here. Even though it's been out of my comfort zone, God has grown my faith tremendously. 🙌🏼🧡⁣ ⁣ These past four months have been a joy and there's no way I could sum it up in an Instagram caption... sooo I wrote a blog post instead hehe. Sharing what's been going on since we moved here + lots of pictures of the amazing people we have met. Link in bio to read! 😊
I was trying to think of a good plant pun, but honestly got impatient and ran out of thyme. 😆 ⁣ ⁣ Haha okay sooo lets play a game, humor me with your best plant puns in the comments below. Best one will get my Austin mobile preset fo FREE! ⁣ ⁣ Let's hear 'em! 👇🏼🌿 (& swipe for some outtakes 😂)
Proof that I eat healthy 😛😉 (first photo is taken on my camera + second photo was taken on my #googlepixel3xl)
I almost didn't launch my photography business because of fear. ⁣ ⁣ Yep. ⁣ ⁣ Fear was crippling to me. It told me that I would FAIL as an entrepreneur, that I wouldn't be good enough, that I wouldn't make enough, that I didn't know enough, that people wouldn’t book me, the list went on. ⁣ ⁣ After a lot of praying and encouragement, I decided to just go for it and launched my business in 2016. Not long after, I found myself stuck believing those lies once again.⁣ ⁣ I thought if I was exactly like the other photographers I saw on Instagram, that I would be “good enough.” So I tried really hard to blend in and be like everyone else. It wasn't long after until I ran myself to the ground and felt burnt out. ⁣ ⁣ My photos didn't feel like "me." So, I decided to change my tactic (if that's what you want to call it) and STOPPED trying to do what everyone else was doing and STARTED being myself and doing my own thang. ⁣ ⁣ As soon as I let my guard down and started OWNING IT, my business started to take off! People started booking me because I was just me. They felt connected to the taco eating, pug obsessed, Jesus loving girl that I am. ⁣ ⁣ This is my hope - not to blend in with the crowd, but to make EVERYONE who I meet, in real life or online, to feel welcomed and loved!⁣ ⁣ So, don't worry what everyone else is doing. (Hey, I'm preaching this to myself too.) The world doesn't need more copy & pastes of people, it NEEDS YOU. It's needs your creativity, your spunk, your grit, your quirks. All of it. 👏🏼⁣ ⁣ The Creator of the universe didn't create us all to be the same. God made us to STAND OUT, to use our gifts & talents to help each other out and to work together. ⁣ ⁣ So the next time you find yourself playing that comparison game or struggling with believing lies, remember that you were created for a purpose & on purpose. I'm rooting for ya all the way over here in Spain. My DMs are always if you want to chat. 🤗
Just over here rolling in the dough 🤪 🥖🥐
The other day I snapped some self portraits. But instead of doing my hair and makeup, trying to hide (& edit out my zits) I didn't. I was just embracing me - acne, frizzy hair and all. 😜⁣ ⁣ For a majority of my life I was a victim to the comparison game when it came to society's unrealistic beauty standards. In middle and high school, l would refuse to leave the house without make up caked on or my hair done. ⁣ ⁣ I was sooo insecure. I would look at myself in the mirror and pick apart every single flaw. I thought beauty equaled worth. Which is NOT true.⁣ ⁣ God made our bodies to be unique from each other. One body isn’t better, more pretty, or more worthy than another. And unlike humans, He doesn’t focus on our outer appearance. He cares about the heart. In 1 Peter 3:4 God defines beauty: "it should be that of your INNER self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of GREAT WORTH in God’s sight.” ✨⁣ ⁣ Your beauty and worth is not determined by anything you’ve done or the make up that’s on your face. It's so much deeper than that. It's because of what Jesus DID for YOU when He hung from the cross + died for our ugly hearts to make them beautiful. It’s because of Jesus we are cleansed, redeemed, white as snow and more precious than jewels. ⁣ ⁣ My prayer is that I will see myself and those around me through God's lens. 📸 (Hehe pun intended)⁣ ⁣ Let’s strive to see the beauty all around us that God created and let's be careful with the words we choose to speak over our bodies and other’s. ⁣ ⁣ Double tap if ya needed this reminder today + feel free to tag a beautiful soul in the comments below. 👇🏼
You have two decisions: you can choose to live in fear of failing or you can press forward and choose to rise up in faith in what God has called you into. I'm working on choosing the second one errrrday. 👊🏼
