The Thompson Family

As promised the full set of photos from the Thompson family. They were such a beautiful family and a joy to work with! The girls, of course, loved having their photos taken and listened to direction perfectly. I am so proud of how the photos turned out.

sneak preview

Mar and I did a photoshoot a couple weeks ago of a beautiful family! Emily on the left and Abigail on the right. This is one of my favorite photos from this session. Check back next week for the rest of photos :)

location scouting

Mar and I went location scouting today for a photoshoot we are doing on Monday. We found the perfect location with the perfect fall colors. It will be great! I am so excited. She actually took this photo. I took quite a few as well and will probably be posting sooner or later - I just absolutely loved this one so much. Cannot believe today is over and I am so excited for my three day weekend!

panorama

After I did a panorama for The Pod, I wanted to do one for myself. I took a series of photos from the last time I was home. I miss waking up to this gorgeous view every day!

Thank goodness it is Wednesday. I have a test tomorrow and then I am golden. Headed home next week for Thanksgiving and I promise posts next week will be way better than this week. Thanks for putting up with me. The end of the semester is the hardest time for students! So glad this one is almost over. Happy hump day!

alexandria

Editing photos for Alex this week! I will have them done by this weekend (cross your fingers for me please). Thanksgiving break cannot come fast enough.

Alex just moved to NYC and these are going to be used for her portfolio! I am so excited for her and cannot wait to share the rest with you guys :)

friday night lights

I am home for the weekend! After terribly busy late night driving. I will be sharing all the wonderful things I have planned this weekend with you guys next week so don't forget to check back.

Hope you guys have a fantastic three day weekend! XO Julia

The Diamond Awards

I only edited these photos, Mar took them. Check out her portfolio here. 

Anyways, I am really really proud of them! These were some of the first photos where I got the color right perfectly, without Marcos help!

delicate details

An outfit post I shot for Lauren's blog a couple weeks ago. If you haven't stalked her blog lately, you should get on that. I am in love with the last photo!

On a side note: today I woke up and it was 46 degrees out! Super exciting that fall is finally here for Florida. I got to wear my brown boots which reminds me I need to invest in a new pair this season. Maybe I'll have an outfit post soon. As always thanks for following along. If you guys want pictures all you have to do is ask!

lunes

It is Monday! And it is over! Time for relaxing, studying and TV. Big posts this week, and I could not be more excited. Thanks for following along :)

Don't forget to stop and smell the roses.

Some of my favorites!

Happy Friday!

the girl behind the grave

I am so excited about these next couple of posts! I've had this concept shoot in my head for a couple months now and was so excited for it to pan out! There is an epic graveyard right in the center of Tallahassee, it has tons of history and was so cool to shoot. Plus the gorgeous weather and lighting - it was a dream. Check back in tomorrow for more photos plus (maybe) the color versions of the photos above! Let me know what you think :)

hashtag update

Sorry I was off my regular posting schedule last week. This week I believe things should be back to normal - cross your fingers. The first wave of exams just hit and I finally started my job. More on that later this week. Last Friday I had my first assignment at The Pod Advertising. I went to take pictures of an appreciation day that a company we work for sponsored. So that was half of Friday - the other half was building huge letters and stapling money to them (more on that later this week). Anyhow, right in the middle of editing the photos from Friday!

Happy Monday :)

I've had this photo shoot idea in my head for quite some time now....and I'm glad I finally made it happen. Since taking these photos last week....Lauren and I have seen several other photos popping up on extremely popular news feeds. Wish I would have posted sooner and started the trend!

Anyhow, happy hump day! Thanks for following along and check out Lauren's blog here.

sneek peek

I had an early morning photoshoot on Sunday with this gorgeous chic! We took tons of photos and I cannot wait to share more of them with you! This is just a preview of more to come. Check back soon for the full shoot.

Happy hump day!
