Growing up with a dad who loved photography, I am extremely fortunate to have the largest amount of quality photographs I know of any of my friends born in the same era. All of these were developed and printed in our own darkroom in our home. Many a time I remember saying, "come on dad", "hurry up", testament in the odd picture in the collection with the sullen face and full of attitude!
A pregnant woman's body is one of the most captivating works of art imaginable. Knowing that below the surface of her feminine curves and radiating glow, grows a life that will bring such joy, is nothing short of miraculous. Julie uses maternal instinct, years of experience, and a creative eye to capture this precious stage of life artistically, in a flattering and feminine way.
The toddler stage is all about exploring through play and experiencing their environment. Julie loves photographing toddlers and children in a natural and fun way in an outdoor setting to capture their sense of adventure and spirit for discovering the new and interesting. Julie has designed her outdoor studio for exactly this.
A Studio with a welcoming home away from home feel. Located in a leafy Northcote Street in Melbourne, with easy parking out front or close by. The Studio has been at the front of our home for over 25 years, our customers love how easy it is to access and how comfortable and relaxed they feel within.
Choosing a location is one of the most important choices for your photoshoot. The backdrop you select will set the stage for the entire session and will be an essential piece of every shot, pose, and ultimately, the finished product. After you've narrowed down the list, it's important to think about some key logistics: are there restrooms?

Julie is a very experienced photographer - great with babies and very considerate of parents (my 4 week old tolerated hours of photos despite the poo leak and many nappy changes and breast feeds) - we ended up with the most phenomenal newborn photos which is priceless because he will never be that small again.

Julie took the time to understand my project and what I needed from the portrait. She was warm, creative and professional. She took initiative and offered ideas that resulted in a better product. It was really useful to have my make-up done on site with Millie, who listened to what I wanted and produced the natural look I was after. Overall it was a very enjoyable experience and I have no hesitation in recommending Lifeworks Photography for any photography work. - Jenny

Having never done a professional family photo before, we were quite nervous at the start, but Julie's professionalism and kind attitude quelled that feeling and made it a memorable and enjoyable experience.
The photos came out amazing and so much better than the family photos I've personally taken. I definitely recommend Julie to anyone who wants to get a professional family photo.

Julie took some amazing photos of my family. Having teenagers who were 'not keen' to have their photos taken, I was surprised at how much they enjoyed the experience. Julie took time to ask what we were hoping for, she had great ideas and took a range of photos. Including our dog in the photos was pricelss. The photos are incredible and I am soooo thrilled to have such beautful lasting memories of a special time with my family.

I entered a competition to win a Father’s Day photoshoot and ended up winning one of the smaller packages. I am so happy that I entered because the photos Julie created for my family are amazing.
She made us feel so comfortable and was a pro working with a newborn and a young puppy. She knew exactly the right angles and captured some amazing moments. She has the most calm and welcoming energy and it just puts you at ease as soon as you walk into her studio.
I am forever grateful for these photos and would definitely recommend her to everyone.
Thank you again Julie, I can’t tell you how much

We wanted to get a family portrait done and we were thrilled with the end product, it exceeded my expectations. Julie was friendly and really easy to work with and flexible in getting times for the session, viewing and collection. Our dog was in some of the pictures and Julie and her team knew exactly how to engage him so he looks super cute in the pictures. We’ve got a framed collage of our favourite pictures and a black and white print which we’ll hang with pride in our home. I highly recommend Lifeworks Photography.

My experience with Julie was unlike any other photography experience of my life (and there's been many, personally and professionally). She was fantastic with my children, they laughed and had a genuinely great time, which was then captured in the photos that will last a lifetime. She was also wonderful with my sister and I and we have this fabulous phase of our lives, forever captured with joy, on our walls. Julie's photos are gorgeous and I was able to gift some to my parents as well. If you're looking for world-class photos and a talented photographer, who makes the whole thing not just painless

We were lucky to win one of the prizes of the Mother’s Day Competition and it was a great opportunity to get family portraits done.
Julie was professional, friendly, kind and helpful. She made the photo shoot so much fun!! We were very happy with our family portraits and look forward to hanging them on our wall. Such a beautiful keepsake for my family. I would not hesitate to recommend Lifeworks Photography. Thank you once again Julie!!
