Couldn’t have said it better myself! We love you Jullia Rae!!
A little transparency from behind the camera. 🤍
For 15 years, I have poured so much of myself into this business. Photography—especially wedding photography—is so much more than showing up with a camera and taking beautiful photos.
Behind every wedding are hours of emails, timelines, questionnaires, planning, traveling, backing up thousands of images, editing, uploading galleries, ordering products, answering messages, coordinating with vendors, maintaining equipment, insurance, software, and making sure every little detail is taken care of.
I think sometimes we’ve gotten so used to instant answers, instant photos, discounts, deals, and having everything right at our fingertips that it’s easy to forget the value behind a small business and the person running it.
When you invest in a professional photographer, you aren’t simply paying for the hours we have a camera in our hands. You’re investing in years of experience, knowledge, equipment, preparation, creativity, problem-solving, editing, and the ability to handle a wedding day when things inevitably don’t go exactly as planned.
I will never claim to be perfect. I’m human. I have made mistakes over these 15 years, and when I do, I believe in owning them, communicating honestly, and doing everything I can to make things right.
But one thing I will always stand behind is my heart, my loyalty to my clients, and the amount of care I put into my work. I don’t take it lightly when someone chooses me to photograph one of the biggest days of their life.
After 15 years, I’ve learned that trust has to go both ways. I ask my clients to trust my experience, my process, and the people I choose to represent my business, just as I respect the trust they place in me with memories they can never recreate.
I’m incredibly grateful for the hundreds of clients who have trusted me, returned year after year, referred their friends and families, and allowed me to document their lives. 🤍
Small businesses aren’t perfect machines. There are real people behind them working incredibly hard, often long after everyone else has gone to bed.
A little patience, grace, communication, and kindness go a long way.
And after 15 years, I’m still here because I truly, genuinely love what I do. 🥹🙏🏻🤍
