Julia Walters Photography

I’m Julia, a North Watford-based family photographer who loves turning everyday moments into images families treasure for a lifetime. With a relaxed, friendly approach and more than two decades behind the camera, I specialise in family and portrait photography — creating natural, emotive photographs that look beautiful on your walls and invite stories and memories back into your home. Why choose me? My sessions are designed around your family, not a strict formula. Children respond best when they’re free to be themselves, so whether we meet in my cosy Watford studio or explore a nearby woodland or park, I focus on gentle, enjoyment-led photography that captures laughter, tiny hands, curious faces and those fleeting connections between siblings and parents. My aim is to create timeless portraits with a creative eye—images that feel personal and nostalgic rather than overly posed. My approach is calm, patient and playful. I’m known for putting even the most camera-shy children at ease, guiding families with warmth and humour until the real moments appear. Sessions are relaxed and unhurried so we can find those unique interactions that make your family special. I work closely with parents to plan locations, clothing tones and the overall mood so the final images reflect your home and story. While family photography is my core focus, I also photograph newborns and maternity as part of the family journey, and have experience capturing weddings. Everything I do is driven by the same belief: photographs are family heirlooms. I love helping clients turn their favourite images into beautiful wall art and portraits that become part of everyday life. If you want a friendly, experienced photographer in North Watford who values patience, creativity and real emotion, let’s talk. I love meeting new families and going on photographic adventures with them — together we'll create memories your future self will thank you for.
