From pregnancy to senior year and every meaningful stage in between. Thoughtfully guided portrait sessions designed to preserve the people, connection, and moments that matter most.
The portraits people regret not taking. Family in town, generations together, the year you all decide to make it happen. This is the work that ends up on walls and in albums for decades.
For founders, executives, creatives, and professionals who want polished, authentic imagery that reflects who they are. Thoughtfully guided portraits designed to stand out.

Julie truly embodies the definition of being a 'baby whisperer.' She has the magic touch.
I am blown away by the creativity and style of Julie Irene Photography. Her eye for color, texture, and posing really made my baby's best features stand out.
Our photoshoot with Julie for her She Means Business campaign was so fun! The pictures turned out amazing.
Sooooo much talent. This was such an amazing experience and we got some unbelievable photos that we will cherish forever.
Twenty-five Orange County women entrepreneurs. One portrait series, built like a magazine. One Gallery Night at the close of the campaign. Founding class only, opening once.
If you are rebranding, launching, or stepping into a bigger version of your work this year, this is the right time.

I'm Julie. I've spent the last twenty years photographing people through every season of life. Growing families, businesses, milestones and the beautifully chaotic years in between.
My San Clemente photography studio was built to feel welcoming, relaxed, and fully taken care of. Most of my clients tell me they're nervous about being photographed, but by the end, they're usually saying, "That was actually fun."

The session fee covers your time in studio, use of the wardrobe and props, a style consultation beforehand, and an ordering and design appointment afterward where you select your portraits and wall art. Digital files are included with every collection.
Most clients book 4 to 8 weeks out. Newborn sessions are booked by due date — the retainer holds your month, and you call to schedule the exact date once the baby arrives.
Both. The studio is in San Clemente, fully equipped with wardrobe, props, and controlled lighting. On-location sessions are available throughout South Orange County — Dana Point, Laguna Beach, San Juan Capistrano, and beyond.
Your ordering appointment is scheduled shortly after your session. Digital files are delivered within two weeks of that appointment once payment is complete.

Yes — newborns and babies are a specialty. Sessions are fully guided and paced around the baby. Parents relax while I work. Kids consistently leave saying it was the most fun photo session they've ever had.
My studio is based in San Clemente, and I regularly photograph families throughout South Orange
County and beyond.

My studio is at 971 Calle Negocio in San Clemente, a few minutes from the beach and a few minutes from Talega. Sessions are by appointment only.
Both. The studio is fully equipped with wardrobe, props, backdrops and controlled lighting. I also shoot on location throughout San Clemente and nearby Dana Point, San Juan Capistrano, Laguna Beach and many other locations.
Sessions start at $395 on weekdays and $495 on weekends. Collections start at $1590. Most San Clemente families invest between $2500 and $10,000 on portraits, wall art, and albums, all reviewed at your consultation.
Most families book four to eight weeks outs. If you have a specific date in mind, family visiting from out of town, or a milestone birthday, book earlier to make sure I have your date.
Yes. Extended family sessions are one of my specialities, especially when family is in town for a visit or a milestone gathering. See more on extended family sessions.
A family session is you and your immediate family, parents and kids. An extended family session brings in grandparents, siblings, cousins, and multiple generations at once, which usually calls for a larger location and a different flow, but it's built the same way: fully guided, from consultation to the finished wall art.
As many as you're bringing. Extended family sessions in San Clemente often include grandparents, siblings, and cousins across several generations, and these usually work best on location rather than in the studio if it is a significantly large group (over 20 people).
All of them. Newborns through teenagers, multiple generations, even the family dog. A family session is built around whoever you're bringing.
