Julie started working as a stills photographer as a teenager, primarily shooting children's sports teams on weekends. While an undergrad at the University of Oregon she worked as a staff photographer for the Oregon Voice campus publication. Julie eventually obtained a Masters Degree in education and worked as a university administrator until 2011, when she decided to return to her love for shooting and started a portrait and event photography business.

 

Her work in the stills market led her to her first narrative film set in 2017 and she became enthralled with the collaborative nature of filmmaking. She immediately enrolled in the Film Production program at Portland State University and in her first year at PSU had the fortune of being chosen to work as an OMPA PATHWAYS Camera PA on the feature film Pig, assisting and training with some of Portland's most accomplished filmmaking professionals. Since then, she's contributed to several local film projects in the camera department as a Local 600 Camera Assistant (see IMDb link below for details).

 

Most recently, Julie has been applying her variety of experiences towards shooting motion as the Director of Photography on several projects (see Cinematography link in menu). Years of analyzing light and frame through shooting and editing stills provided a solid foundation for moving into motion work and Julie's film contributions have won honorable mentions in cinematography, winner of their category and official selections in several local film festivals.
