Hello!
I’m Julia, and I help everyday people showcase themselves as the professionals and beautiful people they are.
I specialise in professional headshot, personal branding photography and bespoke fine art portraiture in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs. I’m based in Lilydale, Victoria, and I work with actors and business professionals, transforming their online image into something they can be proud of. I also work with individuals and families, capturing memories that are treasured for a lifetime, and turning these bespoke portraits into works of art. From the get-go, my process is all about getting to know you, your goals, and what you want your images to say.
How can I help you?
> I’m an actor, performer or model and I need to update my portfolio.
> I’m a business professional and need corporate and/or branding headshots.
> I want beautiful bespoke portraits of myself, children or family.

You can relax when you’re in capable hands.
As a qualified photographer, with a Bachelor of Photography degree from RMIT University, I have nearly 8 years of experience in studio portraiture (and even more behind a camera in general).
At my studio, you’ll find a relaxing environment where you can be yourself. I’ll help direct and pose you (so you’re looking natural) and together we will review all the shots as we go. The result? Amazing images that capture your essence.
I truly care about you and the results, and it is my goal for you to walk away with not only amazing photos but a great experience. Just trust me, you’ve got this!

Had the privilege of having my portrait taken by Julia. She has a fantastic studio that's recently been done up in Lilydale which was a great space to get creative in - I love bright colours, and enjoyed playing around with her various backdrops. Julia was a pleasure to work with and I'm looking forward to my next session!
Michelle Box

Julia is very professional, friendly and warm. My son felt so comfortable having his photos taken for his first photo shoot and really enjoyed it too 🙂 The photos are amazing! Thanks Julia!
Jane, Zed's mother.
I visited Julia's studio a few weeks ago for some headshots. Straight away she made me feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera. She understood the style I was going for, and I am wrapped with the photos! Julia is a very creative and talented photographer, and just a lovely person all together, I 100% recommend her!

I was in need of a professional head shot. I googled search for someone who gave the right vibe and had diverse work. Turned out Julia was 1.5 hours away. 100% worth the trip. Julia listened to me - I asked for shots that make me look relaxed, soft and approachable. She delivered. She also has great expertise and knew that the slightest changes to hair, outfit and jewellery can make all the difference. She took her time, did not pressure me and turned to initial PDF's around in a matter of hours. The landscape around her studio is magnificent for outdoor shots. I am thrilled and will use her again when I update.
Alesha, Physiotherapist & Researcher
I would give 10 stars if I could. Julia is a thorough professional with a remarkable ability to pay attention to details. She made me feel comfortable and allowed me more than enough time to try and perfect various angles. Her studio location is quite picturesque, ideal for outdoor photoshoot and my dog enjoyed playing in the outdoors too. Indoor studio is suited for professional shots. She took numerous shots and showed me the results to select. She advised me on how to improve my posture and get the right expression for the camera. If you are camera shy, don't worry she will make you relax. We also tried different outfits during the shoot. She tries to understand the client by knowing more about them and their needs through a questionnaire. I found that she was able to produce the exact results that I was looking for with a quick turnaround time. I got the final product within two days of the shoot. All in all, an outstanding experience. 10 stars.

Loved the experience, the location and the relaxed atmosphere. And most of all, love the photos that were taken. So hard to choose.
Kathie Thomas
Owner of VA Directory
Julia Nance Portraits was the single best experience I have had infront of a camera. I have avoided getting my headshots taken for years, often taking my own or using stock photos on my website. However Julia set me up with some amazing shots which have already generated more work!
Vince Massara, Owner of The Content Friends
I highly recommend Julia Nance Photography. Julia really takes the time to find out what you want from your session.

Your Local Headshot Photographer:
Do you want to make great first impressions and look at the top of your field?
Of course you do!
But let me guess: the thought of a professional photoshoot leaves you feeling stressed, anxious and awkward.
You might have told yourself you’d like to get into better shape first, or you just don’t feel ‘photoshoot ready‘.
On top of that, you’re worried about what to wear and how to pose.
Up until this point you’ve been using a poor quality image and you’ve found it doesn’t capture your essence at all…
I get it: photoshoots are daunting!
But it doesn’t have to be like this at all.
You need headshots and branding portraits that are authentic, professional and will ultimately lead you to more work.
Luckily, that’s where I come in.

Portraits to turn your house into a home…
My Bespoke Portraiture sessions are here to capture beautiful heirloom portraits of your family.

You see: your portraiture session will celebrate everything about you, about your children and about family. It’s time to slow down, relax, and indulge in the little moments that we’ll look back on and say: “those were the good days“.
