Serving The Fraser Valley
I’m Julia!
An ice cap addicted, moss touching, frizzy haired mom of 3 little wild humans who when not behind the camera loves nothing more than being barefoot, in the garden humming some unrecognizable tune. walking around a forest, or hyper-fixating on whatever new hobby has caught my eye.
When something captures my attention and heart with such ferocity the way birth and telling birth stories has i cant help but make it a part of my identity and spend a lot of my time obsessing over it.. See: staying up till 1am on the regular lost down a rabbit hole of birth content and education..
My Journey to motherhood was not what I thought it would be. I experienced both unexplained infertility and multiple miscarriages before meeting my eldest Son in 2020 After a Birth that went nothing like how i had envisioned, an Induction due to pre-eclampsia and a shoulder dystocia, i was then left to navigate my first postpartum season along side the whole world shutting down. While this period was full of many challenges it brought out a strength and confidence within my self i never knew existed. It ignited a deep passion for wanting to showcase the rawness and struggles that perfectly co-exist and ultimately are part of the magic and beauty that encompasses our motherhood journeys. In 2021 i completed my Doula certification to pair with my passion for birth photography but ultimately decided in 2024 to discontinue taking doula clients and solely focus on documenting every raw , divine, magical detail of birth in a way i just wasn’t able to while also dividing my attention between photographing and being a doula. Even though i no longer am a practicing Doula ill always feel a little like a one at heart and you can often find me throwing towels in the dryer during a home birth or sending along labour, birth and postpartum resources to moms when asked!

Having had both hospital and home births myself – one of which was accidently unassisted ( story for another time) I have a deep reverence for the sacredness of bringing a baby into this world and appreciation of how not only each body and family is unique but each and every birth is unlike another. The emotions, the smallest details, the struggles that are overcome, and the people who are there with you supporting you all tell a beautiful story worth celebrating and reminiscing on for the rest of your life.
I feel incredibly honored each and every time i am invited into a birth space and its not lost on me how lucky i am to be asked to document such a life changing part of your life.
I got my first camera ( a Nikon) and started asking my friends and family to model for me to practice and spent hours watching countless youtube tutorials. I put up a craigslist listing in the fall for heavily discounted photoshoots and spent the next year falling in love with photography
I photographed my first paid wedding in 2017 and was SO excited. My business was growing and over the next few years i photographed countless weddings, Families, Newborns and just about anything else.
With the birth of my son in 2020 came an awakening of passion for all things birth, motherhood and more intentional intimate photography. In spring of 2021 i completed my doula certification and also photographed my first birth. I WAS HOOKED. I stopped taking on weddings and started dreaming of focusing exclusively on birth and motherhood.
From that very first birth i knew Birth Photography had a hold on my heart and by extension the beautiful chapters of life surrounding it. Since then I've spent countless hours on education and learning how to tell Birth stories in an authentic way. In 2025 i finally found the courage to follow my heart and focus on what i love : Birth and motherhood.
