testimonials from past clients

Olivia + Gabino ... Elopement

"I came across Julia in a Facebook group and as soon as I saw her work I was in absolute awe. I knew that I had to have her capture our big day. Julia is so helpful and really listens to what you want, plus has great advice! My husband and I cancelled our big wedding to elope and we had no idea what we would need or what to do and she helped us every step of the way. Our engagement photos and our elopement photos came out exactly how we wanted and can't stop talking about how good they are! I'm someone who is very awkward in front of the camera but she has you doing prompts that take away the nerves and just end up having a very fun time with lots of laughter. I highly recommend working with Julia and will be using her again in the future when we want more photos done."

Hailey + Shane ... proposal

"My experience was absolutely wonderful! Julia took my proposal and engagement photos this November when I surprised my fiance with a trip to Oregon from Pennsylvania. Julia went above and beyond from even just my consultation, helping me find the right location and to make my dream a reality-- She even sent me detailed maps and videos about how to get to the right location and what trails to take. Julia was very accomodating and very personable, she even got there way early and scoped out another location to provide a less snowy secondary background based off the ideas set fourth in our consultation. She did a wonderful job we couldn't be more thrilled with how the photos turned out, it was what I imagined and so much more. She was incredible to work with online and in person. It was so dynamic and yet we got such wonderful captures as if everything was frozen. If you are trying to find the right person in the pnw to handle something as important as your photos look no further!" 

Mariah + Kasey ... Wedding

"Your entire wedding is about taking chances: You take a chance on the caterer, the hair/make up, Hell-- even the weather, but Julia, of Mountain Meandering Photography, is one sure thing that you can count on. 
When I was planning my wedding she was the only sure thing other than that I was marrying my best friend. 
Her passion is evident in the amount of work she puts in to make it as special as possible. She helped plan, checked in, understood the struggles, was creative in her problem solving, and danced with us in our joy all while maintaining a professional and friendly disposition. 
My heart is so happy that our love is evident in the candid pictures, and that our memories include her smiling face. 
I literally can not wait to hire her again for more than just wedding photography. 
Do not take a chance on your photos. Choose Julia of Mountain Meandering Photography and give yourself the relief of knowing you're in the best hands." 

Emily ... Boudoir

"Julia was great! She brought fun energy to what some can consider a scary, uncomfortable shoot. She made me feel confident and pretty. Overall, Julia is so professional and fun to work with. I'm so glad I found an amazing person for my boudoir shoot. I have used her for multiple other couples sessions as well and every time, I am so happy with the outcome. 
Warning: make sure to warm up before your boudoir shoot, as she will put you in positions not even your partner knows how to put you in."

Priscilla + Dara ... Couples

"I LOVE LOVE LOVE JULIA'S WORK! She told us exactly what to do, how to work it and overall made our experience so beautiful! When I first contacted her she was very kind, responsive and understanding! Her communication was so amazing and she was always up to answer them. 
We flew out of state to do the shoot; she had many wonderful recommendations and was open for anything! 
Everything went so smooth up to the day of the shoot! Magical! 
Honestly there are so many I love!"

Jackalyn ... grad/senior

"Julia was incredibly professional, kind, and knowledgeable in our graduation photo shoot. I love how the photos came out, and I will be booking her for my wedding. I could not recommend her enough."

Diana + Manuel ... Engagement

"I absolutely love Mountain Meandering Photography!!!! Julia is such a sweet person, she's very humble and made us feel welcomed from the time she arrived. I am so in love with the photos she took of my fiance and I! I remember telling her my vision a few weeks back, and let me tell you!! She made my vision come true. My photos came out even better than I expected. Thank you so much Julia for your work I will definitely be contacting you again!!! xoxoxo"

Aleesha + Brandon ... maternity

"I wanted to start off by thanking Julia for being so kind and thoughtful when it came to being comfortable at our session! Going on an adventure when you're 37 weeks pregnant can be very intimidating - regardless, Julia constantly checked in with me and asked if I was doing ok or if certain spots or positions had made me feel uncomfortable and I absolutely appreciated that. If you're looking for great communication and turn around time and outstanding photos - YOU CAME TO THE RIGHT PLACE!"

Lauren + Evan ... Elopement

"We did an elopement in the Gorge with Julia and she absolutely blew us away with our photos. They all are absolutely gorgeous. She was so kind and made it super easy to be in front of the camera. She is so personable and really helped the photography part go smoothly for us! We could not recommend her enough!"

savannah + josh ... proposal

"Really enjoyed working with Julia. I had some last minute details and was flying out on a trip with my girlfriend, didn’t know the area at all and she took care of everything — told me where her favorite spot was how to get there where she’d be (in hiding) when to be there and it was so great. We got rained on but still made the most of it and had a bonus shoot the following day!"

abby + tyler ... wedding

"We reached out to Julia after seeing her past clients recommending her in a wedding group, and after working with her we can see why she came so highly recommended! Great communication, so easy to be around, and she captured so many beautiful moments both in our engagement session and on our wedding day. We aren't people who are especially comfortable in front of the camera, but Julia did an exceptional job suggesting prompts and poses that felt natural. Our wedding day went fast, and it's sometimes hard to take it all in when you feel like you have to be everywhere at once, but Julia managed to capture so many gorgeous, authentic photos of us and our guests throughout the day. Looking back through our photos really does feel like we get to relive pieces of our wedding and even get a glimpse of moments between our guests we weren't there to see. I'm not sure how she managed to be everywhere at once and also so under the radar, but she did! We have nothing but good things to say about Julia and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for real, gorgeous, funny, meaningful photos of your day and a photographer you'd be happy to grab a coffee with. 

They're so beautiful, you do such an incredible job keeping things looking natural and true to feeling but somehow also getting everyone at their best! We have been so so thankful for the random post on the wedding fb group where someone suggested you for a boudoir session. My theory was if you can make someone feel comfortable in their underwear, that's the photographer I'm looking for haha. Hoping this won't be the last time we work together!"

albrey ... boudoir

"I absolutely love working with Julia. I had a boudoir session with her and we had so much fun together. She definitely made the session the most comfortable and safe I've ever felt in a boudoir session and she knows how to hype you up! I appreciate how sweet and amazing she is and I'll definitely book with her again!"

genevieve + caleb ... engagement

"Julia is a master of her craft. She's a joy to work with and has an incredible eye for detail! I have worked with her for my own engagement shoot, in addition to working with her as a wedding planner, and she blows me away with her ability to capture authentic, candid love and joy with everyone she photographs. She is kind, professional, communicative, and her work speaks for itself. Go book your shoot with her right now!!!"

zanara + aidan ... couples

"If you want to make the best memories while getting the best photos, book with Julia! We got a couples shoot done and I'm beyond satisfied and in shock about how amazing these photos turned out! I was amazed with how she captured our goofy side and brought out the best smiles in us! She came prepared with poses, ideas and fun! I love her personality, attitude, and her love for her amazing art! Ever since getting these photos I can't stop looking at them and showing everyone!!!"

kate ... branding

"Julia is the best! She recently took new branding photos for me, and did an AMAZING job! As a fellow photographer, I'm pretty picky about who I hire, but would thoroughly recommend Julia. She is professional and skilled!"

jill + justin ... maternity

"Julia is a personal friend of mine, but she is also an amazing photographer! Just let her work speak for itself! She took my maternity photos and they couldn't be more gorgeous!"

hailey + tyler ... elopement

"Working with Julia was fantastic! She was there with us every step of the way from booking to wedding day! My husband and I booked with her originally intending to have an in state wedding and then a few months later completely changed our vision and decided to get married out of state! Julia immediately pivoted and was so happy to follow us out of state to make sure our vision for our perfect wedding came true! She was a pleasure to have at our event, we got so many compliments from our guests that she made them feel “relaxed, at ease and like she could handle anything that came her way”. I’m so glad we chose her! She brought such a positive energy and she captured our wedding exactly how it felt for us in the moment. Authentically us! Thanks Julia ❤️

katelyn + elijah ... wedding

"Julia is incredibly talented and understands what her clients are looking for in terms of style & vibe. She quickly felt like a friend to my husband and I just by her easy-going & goofy personality meshing so well with ours. On our wedding day, she came equipped with multiple things that helped our day go smoother. I was so happy to have found her page & know such a wonderful person such as Julia now, we will absolutely be using her services again when the time comes!"

stephanie ... boudoir

"I had a fantastic experience with Julia! She is a boudoir pro and I would recommend her to anyone. She made me feel comfortable and talked me through everything so that I didn't have to think about posing. The turnaround for editing was super speedy. Don't hesitate to book Julia for any type of photos, especially boudoir!"

cj + troy ... couples

"10/10 will be hiring again! We love our portraits so much! Julia is incredible at making people feel comfortable and capturing genuine moments of happiness. Our photos came back quickly and there's not a single one I'm less than thrilled with. Looking forward to another shoot!"

jayden ... branding

I absolutely loved working with her and would recommend her 1,000 times over! My photos turned out gorgeous and I couldn't be happier with my experience."

kelsey + drew ... engagement

"Best engagement photo session ever. Julia is so fun and comfortable, we had a great experience and she had our full gallery finished the next day!!! We can hardly wait to work with her again on our wedding. She took our vision and delivered something better than we ever could have imagined. Her eye and editing skills are everything, the photos are a complete dream! We couldn't be more thrilled with our session! Highly recommend working with her if you get the chance!"

renee ... maternity

"What can I say about Julia, other than she's incredible? She's so easy to be around and really has a natural way of capturing amazing photos. My session didn't feel overly posed or forced, we just had fun and she was able to produce stunning work! We had these epic plans for a golden hour dunes shoot but the weather had other plans. She adapted so quickly and I couldn't be happier with the outcome!"

macayla + Chris ... elopement

"Julia was absolutely fabulous! Not only is her photography gorgeous, she is also a huge joy to be around. She is punctual, professional, flexible to schedule with, and made us feel confident and comfortable during our elopement shoot. Our pictures turned out amazing and I would recommend her endlessly!"

haley + jimmy ... wedding

"Whew where do I begin?! Julia is seriously one of the greatest humans I've had the honor to work with to start and it reflects in her work 100%. She makes everyone feel so comfortable, and she makes posing so fun and easy, even for my now husband who gets so shy behind the camera. 
She is seriously so amazing. I still can't stop looking at my photos. I will recommend her forever, seriously do yourself a favor and have her take care of your photos, you will not regret it."

ashley ... boudoir

"I have followed Julia’s boudoir page for a while and it was on my bucket list to get some done by her! I’d already had a great experience getting head shots done by her and the boudoir shoot was no exception! I would recommend her 10x over for all your photography needs!!"

jehriel + brandon ... couples

"If you are wanting not only quality photos, but an amazing experience while doing so, Julia is your gal! Her energetic presence is welcoming of all levels of comfortability - my partner hates getting in front of the camera, but had such a sweet time when being photographed by Julia. She picked a beautiful setting and was able to capture our love flawlessly. It was truly a 5 star experience, and we are beyond content with the gallery! <3"

lexi ... creative

"Ok I literally can't say enough about how incredible Julia is!!!
I had just the best photoshoot experience ever with her! She went above and BEYOND to get the most breathtaking shots that just blew me away!

I can't get over how AMAZING the photos turned out, I was literally speechless! Go book ASAP you won't regret it!"

We've never worked with a photographer who does these cool prompts so it's super amazing to have these!"

jayde + sage ... elopement

You can see the passion exuding from her when working with her she truly cares about each and every picture and knows how to make you feel comfortable / beautiful all at the same time!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!"

marissa + justin ... wedding

"Ohhhh my, where do I even begin?! I can say so many great things about Julia. Working with her was such a great experience. From our first interaction I knew she was the right photographer for our special day. She is such a sweet person and made the whole experience a breeze. During our engagement shoot she interacted with us and made it such a fun experience. After we received our engagement. There are so many good photos, I can't even pick a favorite! I love looking back at our photos to remember our special day. Julia captured everything so well, it's like you're in the moment again. If you are looking for a wedding photographer, Julia is your girl! She has such a bubbly personality and makes you feel comfortable. Hiring Julia was one of the best decisions we made! We are trying to find an excuse to work with her again in the future! Julia, thank you so much!! photos I was even more excited to take photos at our wedding! We love how our wedding photos turned out."

marnie ... boudoir

"I cannot say enough good things about Julia!! Her photography is absolutely stunning. I did a boudoir shoot with her and can't believe how beautiful her photos came out. She made me feel so comfortable and we had a ton of fun with it. Not only that, but the turn around time was only 2 days!! I highly highly recommend choosing her as your photographer."

sarah + camryn ... couples

"Julia did such an amazing job at capturing the love between my girlfriend and I! We were stopping in Oregon during our West Coast trip and had the pleasure of meeting up with Julia, where she took beautiful photos of the two of us at a breathtaking waterfall. We will cherish these photos for a lifetime! I highly recommend booking with her, you won't regret it!"

jennifer ... grad / senior

"Julia was great to work with for our couples photos! We were not from the area and she found a beautiful place to take our photos. It POURED on us mid-session & waited it out with us to take more pics."

jan + paul ... elopement

"Julia does a fantastic job - if you have specific pictures in mind, she captures them expertly. But what we appreciated the most was her ability to casually blend in while capturing small moments. Having her there felt very organic. It didn't feel intrusive at all, and the pictures are amazing. We love her work and hired her a second time for a reason."

melissa (mother of groom) ... wedding

"MOG here to tell you to get on the phone and book a meeting with Julia. And then BOOK HER photography services! She directed much of our day with love, gentleness, kindness, and humor. She not only captured AMAZING moments throughout the day, but did so as if she was a member of the family. She fit right in with everyone there! She's so easy-going and seriously just caught so many really precious moments throughout the day! I love that she let people be themselves and caught them enjoying the day!"

kathryn ... boudoir

"Julia is great! As a fellow photographer, I'm rarely in front of the camera. She made me feel super comfortable and allowed me to open up during our session. Not always easy to do during a boudoir session, but she made it feel like second nature."

jessica + roger ... couples

"We had Julia take our engagement pictures. She had great suggestions on locations and kept us well informed throughout the process. We had a lot of fun on the shoot and she was creative with us. I would highly recommend her and plan to use her in the future."

ashley ... branding

"Absolutely loved my time spent with Julia for my headshot/personal photos! It was all laughs and when I got my photos back from her I was absolutely thrilled with the outcome! As a new mama, it can be hard to feel beautiful in our new bodies but she made me feel so beautiful in her work!"

emily + theo ... engagement

"Julia has been my absolute favorite wedding vendor! Since the beginning she has been responsive, helpful and kind. Here are a few reasons why Julia was the right photographer for us: 
-She was willing to travel to CA to shoot our engagement photos and literally spent all day allowing us to make the most of our time together. 
-She has recommended vendors she thinks I would like when I was stressed about finding a vendor. 
-She's a hard worker and quick turnaround time for photos."

nora + quin ... elopement

"Julia did an outstanding job photographing my daughter's wedding at our home. She was easy to work with, unobtrusive and delivered pictures the next day. Most importantly, she takes incredible photos. You wouldn't know it was a gray day from the bright and colorful pictures. While the staged pictures are great, we really appreciated the candids capturing guests and the decorations. Highly recommend."

angela + tom ... wedding

"Julia is one of the most professional, talented, kind, helpful, and knowledgeable people I know. She helped make my dreams come true on my special day by being my bridesmaid and my photographer! How did she do that? She is just that good! She found a trusted fellow photographer to help out! I have done a few photo shoots with Julia and every time, it was fun and she made me feel so comfortable, beautiful, and confident! Every time I go back and look at my photos, I cry with happy tears."

She has a fun and loving prompts to get the sweetest candid photos without feeling awkward.

courtney + chris ... elopement

"Julia was so fantastic! We weren't really sure what to do and she gave us great direction and made it so we had so much fun with our elopement.

"Julia was phenomenal to work with! We had engagement photos taken with her and she made the whole process very easy. She made taking photos like a game and it truly was a great experience!"

elecia + chris ... wedding

"Julia was a pleasure to work with both at our wedding and bridal shoot in the snow. We placed a lot of faith in not doing engagement photos and jumping straight into the wedding without a preview, Julia knocked it out of the park. Our pictures are so incredibly beautiful and I am beyond grateful she was the one to catch our special day. Communication was great, she was punctual, friendly, and incredibly easy to settle in with for two people who don't like photos taken of themselves."

makya ... boudoir

"Julia did a shoot with me and made it so easy to pose and feel comfortable during my session. She is a fantastic photographer and is passionate about it. I would highly recommend! My photos turned out great, I am super pleased!"

jocylen + jake ... wedding

"The best decision I made. 
The best vendor to work with, her work is stellar, she has a calm presence that lends to an ease in which to work with her."

chloe + cody ... engagement

"Julia was very nice and receptive to my needs. I wanted my photos taken in a place with flowers and she did the research to find where would be in bloom within the time frame that I needed my photos. I really appreciated that! I loved her use of movement in our photos, I didn’t quite know what she meant while we were posing for them but as soon as I saw them I fell in love. Snapping pictures of us while we were running, spinning in circles, etc, made the photos look so much more natural and fun in the end."

lacey + matthew ... wedding

"I can't emphasize enough just how happy we were with the entire experience and the pictures she captured. Her creative eye and attention to detail really ensured that she did not miss anything. The number of pictures she captured from out wedding was impressive, as was the turnaround time. I'm having a hard time picking my favorites!"

emily + john ... engagement

"Our pictures came out amazing and Julia had them edited and sent to us the exact same day! She was dedicated to getting our perfect photos and I can’t recommend her enough!"

brittany + valentino ... wedding

"I had previously hired a photographer for my wedding but they canceled, and that's when I found Julia. She is affordable and her pictures are stunning! She took my engagement photos and she captured some truly beautiful photos. On my wedding day she captured all the photos I wanted and some. She has a great personality and easy to work with. Honestly so happy my initial photographer canceled because there's a significant difference in quality and she's one of the best photographers I've met!"

sofia + matt ... elopement

"10/10 recommend! The photos are amazing! You did such an incredible job capturing so many moments and created great compositions/images that we will definitely cherish for years. We couldn't have asked for anything more and are super grateful and appreciative. We are more than happy to recommend you to others!"

nicole + ben ... wedding

"I can't say enough good things about working with Julia! My now husband and I did a few shoots with her before our wedding and the photos for each session were just beautiful! Her easy nature made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. She has an eye for creative shots and is skilled at capturing the heart behind each moment. Julia went above and beyond to make the process of planning our wedding photos with a newborn a seamless and fun experience. I would hire Julia again in a heartbeat!"

shelby + padric ... wedding

"She did a stunning job of shooting my wedding by capturing each special moment. My husband and I are so in love with how our wedding pictures turned out and we cannot thank Julia enough for her outstanding skills.

She always emailed me back right away. Her positive and easy going attitude helped our wedding run smoothly. "

amanda + corey ... wedding

"Amazing experience! Julia was professional and flexible with our needs. When working with us outside of the ceremony and in with the bridal party getting ready it felt very much like she was part of our group, like she was a friend. She is warm and friendly and carries a sense of joy at being there. It is apparent that she loves what she does. Her turn around for the photographs was also incredibly fast. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!"

kourntey + blake ... engagement

"Julia is very responsive and just a nice person to work with. My fiancé and I felt so awkward but she made us feel at ease with our engagement photos. I love the editing she does because she makes things still seem natural and not over edited. She captured the moments we wanted and was so quick to return out photos afterward. Highly recommend!"

kourntey + blake ... wedding

"Great experience overall! I appreciate how responsive you were and how accepting you were of my ideas and requests. Some of our favorite shots you took were the branding shots - turned out really cool, love that you captured the smoke too! Us walking out of the aisle. First dance shots were amazing as well as us dancing with our guests, really some funny shots there. I'm happy with your work and glad we picked you to capture our special day!"

kayla + jesse ... elopement

"Mountain Meandering Photography is 1000% the way to go. One she is the KINDEST photographer I have ever been with. Our wedding plans changed last minute and she was there and willing to work with me. Second her pictures are stunning. Third I am literally looking for other ways to work with her in the future!"

linsey + justin ... wedding

"OMG you have me in tears all over again! This women made every one of my visions come to life! I went into wedding planning completely blind and I truly feel like she was my right hand leading up to our day! Things I couldn't even imagine, she did. 100000000% won't be disappointed. If you're looking for a photographer, check out Julia because she seriously made the whole experience unforgettable!"

keri + shawn ... elopement

"Words cannot express how happy we are! I was literally in tears looking at them! I love the candid family photos! They are everything!

I couldn't have imagined anything better!"

natasha + cody ... wedding

"10/10 recommend. Best photographer I've ever worked with! She's very professional, in a fun and light hearted way. For me, it was like working with my best friend, so much laughter and the photos turned out amazing! I cried and didn't think I'd be able to have a photographer! So happy I found her!!"

yuliya + igor ... wedding

"Julia was amazing to work with! We booked an engagement session and wedding with her and she made us feel really comfortable and brought out our goofy sides! Would highly recommend her work and love how our photos turned out. She perfectly captured memories that we will enjoy for years to come!!"

Victoria + Andrew ... proposal

"Julia was an amazing help with setting up a surprise proposal when I asked my fiance to marry me. She really went above and beyond with advice, and information. We opted for the rush order on the pictures which came out phenomenally! If you're looking for a sign then this is it and book her." 
- Andrew 

"My fiance booked Julia for a photoshoot to surprise me for a proposal.  She was sweet, friendly, and helped him pick out an amazing spot. He paid a bit extra for a rush edit and we got our gorgeous photos that night. I love them!!! I highly recommend her!" 
- Victoria

erin + michael ... wedding

"I will never get over how perfect working with Julia was! She is so easygoing and fun and made me and my husband feel at ease while navigating our wedding and engagement session. I can't recommend her enough! My biggest highlight was our private vows on the beach - the wind was everywhere and my veil refused to stay on my head but she still made us look/feel our best...Julia really did the most." 

Haley + amit ... wedding

"Cannot say enough good things about Julia!!!!!! Her work speaks for itself, but here is my two cents:

Our engagement photos were amazing, and the wedding photos are even better. She made two awkward people that are not very natural in front of the camera feel incredibly comfortable throughout both photo sessions. On our wedding day she was so on top of it, getting photos of everything and everyone. We will cherish these photos forever!

p.s. Do the boudoir shoot. You will not regret it!" 

Charley + Nicholas ... Elopement 

"My husband and I decided to have a very small and intimate elopement at our house but I told him from the very beginning that the only thing I wanted was an actual wedding photographer. Julia delivered in every single way.
We left our engagement session feeling so happy and confident in our choice and our photos were AMAZING! Seriously, everybody who saw the photos complimented them and said how great of a job she did.
Julia was so helpful along the entire journey: we had to move the time of the wedding and she was very accommodating, she gave me wedding dress tips after I still hadn't found one a month before the wedding, and she answered every question I had.
My husband and I are the types of people who hate taking photos, and in turn, looking at photos of ourselves, but when I got our engagement and wedding photos back, I could not stop staring at them. I really don't think anyone else could have captured what we wanted and we are so incredibly happy with our choice. Julia is truly the friendliest person and she is the only photographer I'll ever hire. 11/10 recommend!!"

"Julia has truly been the most sweetest, most encouraging and just all around most professional.
She makes your visions come to life & I truly don't know how our wedding would have gone without her knowledge and support.
From engagement photos to boudoir to wedding day photos, we have been over the moon with our photos she took!
We will choose Mountain Meandering Photography every time!
We <3 you Julia!"

"I had the pleasure of working with Julia on engagement, boudoir, and wedding day sessions, and every time was a dream! She always made me feel heard, comfortable, and so excited! I'm not a photogenic or photo-minded person, so I had been nervous going into professional photo territory. But with Julia, I never had to overthink about a pose or worry about what my hands were doing. She guided me through everything in a very friendly and approachable way.
Whenever I had an "oh maybe we should do this" thought throughout the wedding planning process, she either already had it in her mind or was down to make whatever I wanted work. She is an expert at what she does, and I always felt like I was in the most capable hands.
Working with vendors like Julia allow you, during a very stressful planning period, to trust the process and relax. I cannot recommend her enough!" 

You see a stranger’s puppy & it takes everything in you not to run up & cuddle it.

Your dress gets dirt on it, and you shrug.

You think ice cream & wine is always an acceptable dinner option. Always.

You LIVE for the feeling of sunshine on your skin & wind in your hair.

You’re already screaming YASSSS WHERE DO I BOOK YOU?
