What service do you need?

I'm an actor, and need to update my acting headshot portfolio.
I have a team of staff, and need headshots taken of them at my workplace
My Experience…
I launched Julia Nance Portraits in January of 2018, after years of portfolio building and a Bachelor of Photography degree from RMIT University. All up, I have 8 years of experience in studio portraiture, and even more behind a camera in general. I’m an accomplished retoucher too, and work with people of all ages, indoors and outdoors.
The Julia Nance Portraits studio is a place of joy. All my clients comment on the relaxed environment (it’s super beautiful too). It’s no-rush too. This means we can capture the exact images that you need, and as we go, we’ll review everything to ensure you’re happy.
Every client I work with is different – and that’s what I love. I’ll do what I can to get to know you, to help capture who you really are. The best part about portraiture is how every image is truly unique. And for that, I have to thank you.

I highly recommend Julia Nance's photography services. I was apprehensive about having professional photos taken, and had put it off for years. When I eventually found Julia online, right from our initial correspondence, she was reassuringly prompt and helpful. Before my shoot she prepared a client brief and mood board to ensure we were on the same page about what I wanted. Her studio and natural environment provide a perfect setting for photographs. Julia was warmly professional, communicative, responsive, very patient, and put me at ease right from the start. She was even happy for me to bring my two dogs to appear in some of the photos. Most of all, I am delighted with the results, which I will use in a variety of contexts. The hardest part (as Julia said) was selecting the final photos!

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 had some headshots done by Julia and I found her to be very easy to work with, very open to any suggestions and having fantastic ideas of her own. It didn't take long to relax in our session and the results were great. She is very down to earth and kind. Thank you Julia.

Julia is an expert at her craft - it has been an absolute pleasure to work together with Julia Nance on a jewellery photoshoot. She is professional, has great knowledge and skill with photography and post production, and is very warm and welcoming. I would highly recommend her both for her art photography and her portraiture.

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!

Julia is an absolute wizard with the camera. I was a little anxious and not knowing what to expect going into the shoot, but Julia was an absolute professional. The session was cool, calm and more than exceeded my expectations. Canβt wait to return for more headshots in the near future and would highly recommend anyone that needs the best of the best to utilise Juliaβs services π

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!

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.

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.

Julia is always so lovely to work with! She is friendly, relaxed, and makes the process so easy. Her studio is so lovely and relaxing, with views of rolling hills and beautiful music playing. Her headshots are so beautiful and natural, they're the best I've had. I've been to her twice and will definitely be going again!

Not only does Julia provide top notch photos, but a unique and individualised approach to the shoot. Julia makes the process of getting headshots fun, relaxed, and easy, which only adds to the quality of the photos she takes. She has a keen eye and her touch ups on the final products are perfect!

Julia has photographed two of my daughters for their agency pictures and we had such a wonderful experience. Not only are the photos top quality, she is kind, caring and incredibly supportive/helpful in making the girls feel very comfortable. One of my daughters had a bespoke shoot with Julia which was a different experience for her and again she was made to feel so comfortable. Not only does Julia explain what she's doing all along the way but makes both the model and the parent relaxed and involved in the whole shoot. Highly recommend Julia for headshot photography and bespoke!

Julia has a brilliant eye and perhaps more importantly, a passion for truly getting to know and understand her client and their needs - this enables her to deliver a product that reflects each individuals essence. She captures energy and spirit in her photographs - which is of the utmost importance for actors. I wholly recommend her for anyone in need of a head shot or professional portraiture. She's an absolute delight to work with!

You're here because you need a great headshot. What's a great headshot? Well, it should show personality, speak your brand and capture the best of you.
It’s time to take a break. Take a break from work, from stress, from busy day-to-day life. Overlooking the Dandenong Ranges, with beautiful paddocks and trees, you’ll feel a world away at my studio (even though you’re really not).
The studio is equipped with tea and coffee facilities, heating and air conditioning, a range of coloured backdrops, and all the lighting gear we would need.
Outside, we have an abundance of natural bushland and paddocks to explore. So many of my clients have benefited of a mix of indoor and outdoor imagery to give them a complete portfolio of results to choose from.
Take the Leap:
Put yourself first, and invest in professional headshots to give the right impressions.
