When your client shows up with great energy and takes direction like a pro, and makes your job way too easy… 😊

I had a lot of fun working with Bryce to create a variety of looks for his modeling and acting folio. We had a great time, and I’m loving how much personality came through in these!

Wishing you lots of success Bryce! Wishing you lots of success, Bryce. I'm excited to see where these headshots take you!

Your brand doesn’t always have to look like a boardroom. 😊

Showing a little of your real life and personality can help your audience connect with you on a much more personal level. For this client, her kitchen was the perfect setting to show her in her element — doing something she genuinely enjoys.

Think beyond the traditional headshot: What parts of your everyday life help tell your story?

Those can make some of the most powerful brand images.

There’s something so special about capturing someone in a space they’ve created from the ground up.

Dr. Alisha Tuteja recently opened her own concierge primary care practice, and I had the pleasure of photographing her in her beautiful new office space for her website and marketing materials.

I loved capturing not just the space, but Alisha’s warmth, confidence, and genuine spirit. These are the images that help tell the story of who you are, what you do, and—most importantly—how you want your clients and patients to feel when they work with you.

Congratulations on this exciting new chapter Alisha! It was such a joy to be a small part of bringing your vision to life.

Confidence. Presence. Authenticity. Your brand isn’t just what you do - it’s also how you show up.

Friends!! Charity Bingo is just over a week away and I would love for you to join us!

It’s just a $20 donation to play, and every dollar goes directly to Rainbow Place Shelter - a cold weather shelter for women right here in Rockville.

We’ll eat, drink, play bingo, and spend time with some of the most inspiring people doing incredible work in our community. It’s going to be such a fun, feel-good night.

If you’re looking for a simple way to support a local organization while enjoying a night out with great people, this is it. Grab a friend and come play.

I’ll share the graphic with the QR code below so you can register. Hope to see you there!

Not every brand image has to be a head-on headshot.

Images like this showing you in action, interacting, listening - help tell the story of how you actually work.

Here are 3 quick ways to use branding images like this:

1. Website “About” or Services page to visually show your process

2. LinkedIn posts when sharing insight or client stories

3. Email newsletters to make your communication feel more personal

Strong brand images build trust before someone ever reaches out.

So much to smile about!! 😊

It’s been a while since I last posted, but behind the scenes life and business have been very full!!

Since my last post, the Thrive Together community helped sponsor 35 kids holiday gifts, and Market Street Studio donated $1,000 to Tree House CAC (none of which happens without my wonderful clients!!), we had the sweetest Friendsgiving celebration, and I took some needed time for rest and surgery recovery over the holidays. Since then it’s been a lot of really meaningful work — sooo many sessions with amazing clients, an 11-hour corporate photo and video shoot with the best crew, and an all-day headshot marathon helping Greater Bethesda Chamber members start 2026 with updated images. There’s also been many meals with dear friends, lots of time with my teenagers, tons of networking events, and a trip to LA to visit my wonderful son and new baby grandson.

At the same time, my heart has felt so heavy watching so much violence happening in the world and here at home. It makes giving back to the community and leaning into generosity feel even more necessary.

Now preparing for one of my favorite events of the year, a Galentine’s Brunch Social this weekend, where an incredible group of women will gather to connect and support another local nonprofit. I’m also planning a fun in-studio branding mini day - coming soon!!! 🙃

Have an awesome day!! 💛

It’s HERE!!! 💕✨

Tickets are officially LIVE for the 2026 Galentines Brunch Social, and we couldn’t be more excited to share this with you. This is one of those events that fills up fast, so if you’re been thinking about coming, don’t wait - I fully expect this one to sell out.

Join us on Sunday, February 8th from 12-2pm for a beautiful, joy-filled gathering of connection, conversation, and celebrating friendship with incredible women, all over a delicious catered brunch by Nessa of GoinGrazy. We’ll also be coming together in the spirit of giving back, making this gathering even more meaningful. It’s truly one of those feel-good, heart-full events that people talk about long after it’s over.

We can’t wait to gather, connect, and celebrate with you — this is going to be one of the best events of the year! 💗

XOXO Julie and Nessa

Join us for an elegant, catered brunch and a beautiful opportunity to gather, connect, and make a positive impact together.

I’m still riding the happy wave from Sunday because our Friendsgiving Brunch was such a HUGE success, and my heart is so full! 💛

Thank you to all of the incredible women who came out to connect, lift each other up, and support the The Tree House CAC of Montgomery County Maryland. The energy in the room was truly something special.

An especially huge thank you to our event sponsors who helped make the day so beautiful:

• Nessa Puscas of GoinGrazy
• Claudia Tsas of Kharis Lavender Farm
• Susanne Siemonsen of Skin Therapy Wellness Clinic
• Jennifer Gularson of the Osteopathic Center for Healing

And a very special thank you to my sweet Sara June, who volunteered and helped with the decor and food. I couldn’t have done it without her!

To all of the women who stepped up and sponsored one (or several!) children for their holiday wish lists, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Our goal was to sponsor 25 children, and we didn’t just meet it - we sponsored 30 kiddos! I am so blown away by this community and your generosity.

If anyone would still like to sponsor a child, there are more kiddos who need support. Just send me a message and I’ll connect you with the details.

Feeling grateful, inspired, and so proud of what we created together
