I’m Julianne, a portrait photographer in Pasadena and Los Angeles

Honest, cinematic portrait photography in Pasadena & Los Angeles

I started photographing through filmmaking, where I learned to look for truth, movement, and the details that reveal who someone really is. That is still the heart of my work today. I photograph individual portraits, couples, families, and intimate events with a natural, relaxed style.


I live in Pasadena with my husband, our two little boys, and our very needy rescue dog. I love knitting, classic Hitchcock films, and creating a welcoming space where people can be themselves.

"My company hired Julianne to take professional headshots and team photos, and she did an absolutely incredible job. We've worked with other photographers in the past, and never really felt like they took the time to understand what we were looking for, and help make us feel comfortable during the photo shoot. Little did we know, we've just been looking for Julianne!"

"Shooting family photos was a pleasure with Julianne. She is so comfortable to be around which really allowed us to relax throughout the shoot. We wanted to have baby and family shots that felt natural and not too staged - that's exactly what we got. The photos that came back felt both comfortable and joyous in nature. Highly recommend to hire her if that's what you are looking for. We'll be back for more!"
