We brought in our entire extended family to Julia's Mission Farms studio. Julia had such control over a situation that could have ended miserably. So many personalities to deal with along with so many family dynamics! Not only were our photographs beyond fabulous, we had a great time taking the photos. We love Julia's Artwork and her outgoing personality. Clients for life!
" Julia Shapiro has the rare ability to capture the true essence of her subjects. My great grandchildren's portraits bring me so much joy."
"My high school senior portraits are my favorite pictures ever! Julia makes a sitting so easy, comfortable and fun-all my friends want the same beautiful work for their portraits too!”
"the walls of our home are filled with the beautiful photography of Julia Shapiro! We love the masterful artwork Julia produces and the fabulous family moments she has captured for us!"
“Julia doesn’t take photographs; she creates art — priceless art. The portraits I have today are priceless. I’d pay anything for them but, don’t tell her that.”
“Julia takes great photographs, but she isn't just about the picture. I came to Julia with a tough request, and she worked long and hard figuring out the best way to truly and beautifully capture the spirit of the subjects. I'm thrilled with the result!”
My family loves Julia Shapiro Photography and Art because Julia really captures who our children are. . . not only is her work artistic and beautiful, but the personalities of our children really show in her photography. She has the gift and the eye to really "capture the essence of the moment." We have been taking our children to her since they were toddlers, they are now 25, 21 and 17!
We love the her new venture into the art of "scenic" photography. Her hand-painted photographs capture the spirit of her subject--she can move between nostalgia and modern day and still find the "heart." Julia's artwork has a "rawness" to it that really tugs at the viewer's emotions.
"When I hired Julia to create a photo for the cover of my novel, she immediately understood what I wanted: a unique, warm, and stylized photo that showed an artistic hand. I was stunned by the outstanding results. Every week I receive some kind of compliment on my book cover, thanks to Julia's fine work."
“Julia has the ability to draw out the naturalness of your child’s self. She captures the range of emotions and the expressions that are so unique to each child. We have had the pleasure of working with Julia for the past 16+ years, and we have more than just an archive of our son’s progression. The photographs have truly captured his persona for our enjoyment and hopefully his future family. Julia is a professional, an artist , most importantly she takes great pictures of our most prized possessions”
