Hi, I’m Julie – the photographer behind Staveland Studios.

I believe the most meaningful photographs come from real connection – not stiff poses or forced moments. My approach is relaxed, intuitive, and centered on capturing people as they truly are in this moment in time.
Photography has always been my way of holding onto moments that matter – the ones that pass quickly and quietly if we’re not paying attention. From documenting my own family and life experiences, to photographing weddings, growing families, and meaningful milestones, I’m drawn to images that feel honest, warm, and timeless.
When you work with me, you can expect a calm, supportive presence and gentle guidance when needed. I’ll step in to help when things feel uncertain – and step back when moments are unfolding naturally.
My goal is for you to feel comfortable, seen, and free to be yourselves, knowing your memories are being thoughtfully captured.
If you are looking for a photographer who values connection, storytelling, and genuine moments, you are in the right place. I’d love to hear what moments you want photographed.
