ABOUT Julie
I started out in Commercial and Real Estate Photography after working many years in the corporate world. Once my son came along, I was naturally pulled into family, children and newborn portraits. I grew my business working with thousands of families photographing them to create portraits and personalized wall art. Eventually, I grew eager to learn something new and challenging all while still working with children. A friend reached out which lead me to start training with a Medical Photographer in one of the largest hospitals in Dallas, Texas. From the beginning I was hooked and threw myself in completely to Medical Photography. I was specifically hired to be a Pediatric Cranial Facial Medical Photographer which is exactly what I joyfully did everyday for almost 10 years before moving my family to St. Croix US Virgin Islands in March 2020.
Education:
Mostly self taught in my early 20's when I could never pin point exactly what I wanted to do with my life. A creative mind never sleeps, changes their mind often and is never afraid to fail to try something new. It's all a challenge! I completed a full photography course with New York Institute for Photography and Studied with the lead Medical Photographer in Dallas, Texas.
Honors
My photography has given me many opportunities to photograph unique events. I have photographed Dr. Kenneth Salyer, Founder of the International Craniofacial Institute. He was a giant in the Craniofacial Surgery, the surgeons I worked for studied under Dr. Kenneth Salyer. In 2013 I was among only 50 organizations World Wide to represent the media during JFK's 50th Anniversary in Dallas, Texas. I have traveled all over the Caribbean and photographed the most beautiful people and places.
