Julia’s Blogfest bio picture

  • WELCOME!

    Hi! Thanks for checking out my blog. I am Julia -- mother to 2 boys, wife to a fabulous guy I have known since I was 15, daughter to a gorgeous 77 year old mom who grew up during WWII in the Philippines, and connoisseur of all things photography. I am both a portrait and wedding photographer based out of Fairfax Station, VA. I shoot children, families, babies, couples and high school seniors. I also spend a fair amount of my time coordinating and volunteering for the Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep foundation -- a charity that provides infant bereavement photography to families who unexpectedly lose a baby.

    This blog is a compilation of all that I shoot both professionally and personally so feel free to check back often, subscribe and/or leave comments so I know I'm not blogging in vain! Also, feel free to look up my work by category (above) - i.e. babies, families, weddings. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy what you see!

2013 Headshot Promo — Professionals MONTH

Posted incorporate headshots,fairfax portrait photographer,professional headshots,PromotionNo comments

For the past several years, I have run a special promotion for professional headshots — theatrical, corporate, fundraisers, congressional wives, mom’s with small businesses, healthcare professionals, rock and rollers for CD covers….for real.  All types.  I totally, madly LOVE meeting folks with different strokes.  It’s so interesting to chat it up while I shoot away.

I have always run this promo for a week or two but b/c of the demand, have decided to do this for 1 month!  So all of February will be PROFESSIONALs MONTH!

My rate is $275 (regularly $400) for a 20-30 min mini session.  This includes 3-4 wardrobe changes for different looks, as well as 7 edited, fully retouched images.

The Olivia Act – a response from the Newtown, CT shootings

Posted inthe olivia actNo comments

In light of the Sandy Hook tragedy, and in response to this amazing concept brought about by a photographer in CT, I’m on board to participate.

The Olivia Act, named after one of the children killed in Newtown, was started by a photographer who wishes to be anonymous. Olivia’s family had family pictures taken a short time before she was killed. Those pictures are precious and now priceless to them. Upon hearing this, this photographer was moved to give away a 30 minute family photo shoot and has challenged other photographers to do the same. We go about our daily lives and sometimes we don’t take the time or have the resources to have family photos taken.

I will be taking nominations for a family who you think would appreciate this gift. The 30 minute session will take place sometime after the New Year and will be completely FREE to the family being nominated. Please inbox or e-mail their name, contact information and a brief summary of why you chose them to julia@juliamacinnisphotography.com. Please put “THE OLIVIA ACT NOMINATION” in the subject line. Please do not post their information here. I will take nominations between Jan 1 and Jan 15, 2013. The winner will be chosen and contacted on January 31, 2013. Please share this status. Thank you. ♥

* Nominees must be local to the Northern VA area.

(If you are not in Northern VA, please check their facebook page for a photographer in your area:  https://www.facebook.com/TheOliviaAct)

The “C” family | Suburban MD family photographer

Posted inchevy chase family photographer,fairfax portrait photographer,maryland photographer,portraits,virginia children's photographerNo comments

I photographed these 2 girls in the summer of 2011 and since then they have welcomed little brother master “K”.  I went to their home to photograph them for a different type of session — no park, no trees, just inside their awesome home with great color, furniture and light!  Loved it!
