JULIE'S WINNING PHOTOGRAPH
Julie Francom
Julie is a birth photographer, and videographer. She is a ride-or-die hype girl and LOVES capturing laughter and connections between people. More than that, her favorite is capturing women in empowering ways, whether at a birth, boudoir, shower session, or even headshots. She often edits photos while listening to musical soundtracks; Hamilton and Newsies are her current faves! She is a reality TV junkie, addicted to caffeine, and doesn't do anything productive until it is after 10:00AM. Her core values are honesty, loyalty, and integrity and she is above all fiercely loyal to those in her circle.
