Hi, I’m Juli, a wedding and portrait photographer based in Woodstock, Illinois, serving clients throughout McHenry County, Lake County, Barrington, Crystal Lake, and the surrounding Chicagoland area.

As a Woodstock wedding photographer, I specialize in creating elevated, natural images that feel effortless, genuine, and true to you.

With over 20 years of experience, including time working in New York City and Los Angeles in editorial and fashion photography, I’ve learned how to guide people in a way that feels natural, not forced. I’ve worked with models, actors, and individuals of all experience levels, helping them feel comfortable in front of the camera while gently guiding subtle movement and posing that feels effortless and true to who they are.

What matters most to me is how you feel during your session. I’m known for paying attention to the little things—adjusting a strap, fixing a curl, noticing the details others might miss—so you can feel confident, relaxed, and fully taken care of from start to finish.

Whether you’re planning a wedding, engagement session, or portrait experience, my goal is always the same: to create an experience that feels easy and supportive, and images that reflect you at your very best.

In addition to weddings and portraits, I also photograph branding and social media content, creating polished, natural images for individuals and businesses who want to show up confidently and authentically.

All sessions include a private online gallery with printing and sharing rights.
