Hey y’all! I’m doing a thing…. yes I am starting a blog!! I want to share all of my Dallas Fort Worth Photography with you. Plus, likely some mom things in between. I have considered starting a blog for a while now, but, let’s be honest time just really escapes me! Between being a mom, our big move from California to Texas, and life in between, I’ve been busy. BUT. I am done with the excuses, and have been working on investing in myself, my company, my brand, and part of that is sharing who I am with all of you! Really, my photography business wouldn’t be anything without the people who love, support, and follow me. So I want to take you all with me on this journey of being a mom and also a photographer!
Ok so first things first who am I? 3 months ago I would have answered this question as “I’m Julia, I am a stay at home mom of two sweet boys.” Now, I would answer that question, “Hey! I’m Julia, I am a photographer, momma of two, and wife and I try to kick toosh at all 3.” I have always longed to find my passion, my drive, a business that I love but that I could balance while also being a mom, and I have found it. My missing piece, the creative driven part of me, who was destined to be a family photographer.
I don’t want to be a robot behind a lens. I want you all to get to know me, the real me, and I want to create memories with you. I want my sessions to be fun, talkative, playful, energetic… I want you to forget the camera is there! So, to start off some things about me, the girl behind this camera. I am 28 years old, have the most amazing supportive husband (Nick Nigro) and I have two amazing boys. My oldest is going to be 3 in January, and he’s smart, driven, stubborn, a bit shy, super goofy and has the absolute kindest heart. My youngest turned one in September and he’s my wild, care-free, affectionate, injury prone boy. I love them both and spend most of my days making snack after snack, playing airplanes of some kind, and exploring everything we can in the Dallas Forth Worth area. We are new here! We just moved here at the end of July and have been loving every minute. We may have lived in California our whole lives, but I feel that we have Texas hearts.
I got my bachelors degree in 2013, got engaged in 2014, married in 2015, had babies in 2017 and 2018, moved in 2019…. I have been busy! In between all of that, I had the privilege of watching two of the most amazing little girls, and that’s how my love of photography bloomed. I wanted to be able to capture their bond, their laughter, their smiles, and the memories that happened throughout the days for their parents who both worked. I bought my first camera in 2016 and the rest is history, I’ve been capturing families, children and newborns since and I adore it.
