About a month ago, I put the call out on Instagram for anyone who would trust a food photographer (me!) with images not of food (people!), and was lucky enough to have Julia get in touch.

I’ve been photographing family and friend events for over a year, but I’m excited to start working with people and expand my portfolio. I love food photography, but it was so fun being around a human and chatting to someone other than my herbs and sauces, hah!

Julia is a qualified nutritionist, naturopath and personal trainer and when she talks about what she does, she glows. She also makes the most divine raw cakes (they taste as delicious as they look!). But what I really loved about spending some time with Julia? She’s down to earth, she laughs at herself and despite the fact that I am sure I’ve never met anyone as busy as her, she seemed really relaxed as we hung out at her place while she prepped some food and went for a wander in her neighborhood.

This is Julia.
