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 women who book She Means Business sessions are usually the ones who have been doing kick ass things for years and still don`t have images that show for it.
They`ve got speaking gigs, writing books, and clients who trust them — and a headshot from 2016 they`re quietly embarrassed by every time they have to use it.
The session is a full day at my San Clemente studio. Hair and makeup. Multiple looks. Behind-the-scenes footage they can use for their businesses. A feature in the She Means Business Orange County magazine at the end of the campaign. As well as an invitation to the campaign-end Gallery Exhibition.
We still have space for 17 more amazing women. If you`ve been meaning to do this, this is the one for you!

Summer is almost upon us. This is the time of year the whole family may actually be in the same place.
Cousins running around and having fun. The grandparents getting all their hugs and snuggles in with the grandkids. Someone is grilling and there is always that one complaining about the sand or heat. And sadly, nobody has thought about portraits — because why would they? The moment feels infinite.
It isn`t.
I`ve been photographing families for almost 20 years, and the sessions I think about most are the extended family ones. Not because they are the most complicated to coordinate (they are), but because I feel they are the most important. From personal experience I had these done before my father passed and those photos I treasure the most.
If your family is together this summer, it`s worth a conversation with everyone to make it happen.
My studio is in San Clemente. Sessions booked by retainer, and summer fills faster than people expect. If you`ve been thinking about reaching out, the sooner the better.
This studio session brought four generations into one room. The daughter who organized it got everyone together before her niece flew back to Idaho with a baby due in June. Sessions like this don`t happen on accident. Studio or beach, the harder part is getting everyone in the same place. If yours is going to be in one place this year, this is the kind of session it makes.

Four generations on the beach for spring break. The great-grandparents in the center have lived in San Clemente for over sixty years and she`s never moving. Their daughter flew in from Virginia to make this happen. Sessions like this don`t happen on accident. Someone in the family decided this year was the year and called everyone in. There`s a saying in this family that once you`re in, you don`t leave. If yours is going to be together this year, this is the kind of session it makes.

They saw how it was being done…. and said, “we’re doing it differently.”
No roadmap.
No support.
No paycheck for years.
A pandemic 18 months in.
And babies in the middle of it all. Because why not. 😏
And still… they built it.
An award-winning hospital.
A powerhouse team of women.
A business that actually cares - about pets and people.
Oh - and they didn’t stop there.
They’re now helping other women step into ownership too.
This is what it looks like when you stop waiting… and just go for it.
If that little voice in your head has been whispering “what if”… this is your sign.
Contact me if you’re building something bold - I want to feature you.
