A Little About Julie
High School Senior, Family,
and Couples Portrait Photographer
Trophy Club, Texas
After way more than 20 years in Danville, California and a little over two years in Chicago, Illinois, the Macholz family loves our new home in Trophy Club, Texas!
I love my job! I believe my life experience and constant drive to improve help make me the best portrait photographer I can be for you and your loved ones.
Met my wonderful husband when we were both flying Navy jets in Alameda, California. Raised our three kids in the wonderful community of Danville, California. I love kids of all ages and have spent a lot of time teaching piano lessons and volunteering with youth at church. Oh and I love to play tennis. In fact its really the only exercise I like. Lots and lots of travel in my lifetime being the daughter of a retired naval aviator, a retired naval aviator myself, and the wife of an airline captain.
I've been fascinated by photography for many years but my "intense focus" began in 2013 when I bought my first DSLR camera and lenses preparing for our trip of a lifetime vacation to Africa. I have learned so much and love to constantly learn more.
Wife, Mom, Retired Naval Aviator, Former Piano Teacher, Youth Leader, Tennis Player, Traveler and Photographer who loves connecting with moms, dads, kids and teens and creating beautiful images. Choose me and have a blast letting my easy-going confidence and fun-loving enthusiasm rub off on you. It'll show in your portraits and you'll love them forever.
Kind Words
Julie is an incredible photographer and amazing person. Working with her to photograph our family of 6 was challenging, as we had a very busy 2 year old, but she was unphased and easy going during the shoot. We loved the pictures and had so many wonderful options to choose from. She took lots of time listening to what we wanted from the photos, and made sure that we captured all of the images that we hoped for, while putting everyone at ease. I would highly recommend Julie to anyone wanting family photos, or event photos. ~ SB
Julie made family pictures fun for everyone and was extremely professional, patient, and easy-going. From planning outfits and location to following up with sending me my photo gallery, Julie made everything so simple and easy. She truly enjoys her work and it shows. When my son made things a little tricky, wanting to roll down the hill and making silly faces, Julie was able to "roll with it", redirect him gently and get some amazing pictures that truly captured his personality. She made my daughter feel so great and captured her beautifully as well. We are so thrilled with our photos, they are the best we've ever had. We highly recommend Julie. P.S. Ask her about her past career as a Navy pilot. She has some fun stories! ~ KC
For years I have wanted to have a family picture taken with Golden Gate Bridge in the background. I am so lucky to have had Julie take them for us! With her friendly personality, she did a great job directing us and making sure we got all the shots we wanted. Not only did the pictures turn out absolutely beautiful, we also had fun taking them! ~ KM
