For the past five years, street shooting in downtown Los Angeles has been her primary focus.

The same photograph won first place in Leica’s I-Shot-It street shooting contest in 2015. Julia received a Bachelor of Science degree in photography at the Rochester Institute of Technology and a Master of Arts degree in journalism at the University of Nebraska, and is the author/photographer of the award-winning children’s book, A Year on Monhegan Island.
