Corporate Headshots & Personal Branding
Have you been putting off getting some professional headshots for a little while now?
Getting a professional headshot is daunting, and ultimately it’s about finding a photographer that feels right for you.
Let me introduce myself! I’m Julia, and I’m here to take the stress out of professional photography and help you get natural, joy-sparking images that speak your brand.
You’re not alone in putting off the whole ‘professional portraits’ thing. It’s so easy for you to be self-critical, but what I love about being a photographer is turning that mindset around, and capturing authentic images that look and feel like you. Nothing fake or pretentious here!
You only have one chance at a first impression
So let's get it right!
Gone are the days of the cheesy 90s headshot! Stop thinking awkward school photos and start thinking natural smiles, relaxed poses, and candid captures.
Until now, you might have been using a quick selfie or selection of bland stock photos. This has been fine until now, but even you know it’s not enough (that’s why you’re here, right?).
As a personal branding photographer, I take the time to learn about you and your profession so we can nail all your content needs. From a simple LinkedIn headshot to a complete website refresh. There will be no more awkward selfies or stock photos needed!
We can capture a collection of images. From full-length to head and shoulders, candid to captivated. You can bring along some favourite props, try different backdrops, and wander the beautiful outdoor location right on my studio doorstep. Whatever it takes to make you at ease and feel like yourself – we’ll do it!
Our full sessions include a complimentary copy of my posing guide PDF – showcasing over 100 images with different pose ideas to try. (Valued at $49.95).

Hi there, I’m Julia, and I’m here to make you comfortable.
With every session I have, it’s my goal to make business owners, corporate professionals, and the everyday person take branding portraits and headshots they can be proud of (and LOVE).
My professional background includes a Bachelor of Photography degree from RMIT University, where I studied everything from studio lighting to high-end retouching.
Over the past three years running my business, I’ve fine-tuned my process and have created an environment that ensures you’re as comfortable as possible. It’s been a driving force in my career to help individuals learn to love photographs of themselves.

An experience you can enjoy
Getting your corporate or personal branding headshots with me is an easy-going experience. I don’t rush my clients - instead, I prefer to take the time to really make sure you’re comfortable and happy with the results.
How do I prioritise you?
- A pre-shoot branding guide that makes sure I can work to your needs.
- Studio & outdoor settings available .
- No limits on outfits – Bring as many as you need.
- Professional retouching, with a natural approch.
- Flexible shooting schedule – Thursday-Sunday, with evenings available.
- A beautiful studio in the Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne, surrounded by nature.
- Quick turnaround – 3-4 working days after final selections.
There are so many options to explore for your portraits at my studio in Lilydale . . .
My studio overlooks the Dandenong Ranges, and has so many options for a diverse image portfolio.
Having a professional, on-brand headshot is great, but it’s even better to have variation across your images too. It’s time to put yourself out there, show who you are, what you do and why people should know, like and trust you.
This is why I love photographing at the studio. In all personal branding sessions we can explore both studio and outdoor options. From beautiful lush greens and textured earthy settings, to clean studio backdrops and creative lighting.Â
Together, we can explore different outfits and backgrounds to create seamless portraits that will cover all your content needs.Â
Show clients what it’s like to work with you.
Not all portraits have to be looking at the camera. It’s great to show a range of candid imagery too. Chat with me about bringing some relevant props or accessories that help communicate what you do.Â

Julia, took me from CONCEPT...TO PERFECTION...
Julia is MORE than a "Click" she is there! Julia is with you, she feels and listens to your every need, and goes WAY BEYOND what a "Hired Pic Taker." Goes...
I can not express enough, how joyful this experience has been.
Kirk, Actor and Music Producer
Thanks Julia for your great work. I was really happy with the process, photo taking on the day and final product. I would highly recommend for anyone no matter what is required, from a business photo through to something more personnel.
Gavin
Would 100% recommend Julia! She was highly professional, flexible and fun to shoot with. She offered a huge range of background options and has created an amazing environment in her studio. I am so pleased with the result of my new acting headshots, and the whole experience was worth every cent.
If you’re looking for somewhere to get headshots / photos done - go straight to Julia!

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.
Julia is wonderful! She was engaged by my business to take corporate head shots and branding photos. She put everyone at ease and the photo quality is amazing!! Thanks Julia!!
Joy - Director at True Blue Migration
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
Julia takes amazing photos! She’s patient and creative, taking beautiful head shots! Would 100% recommend her! She won't rush you and her little studio is adorable!
Mady C,
Actress
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
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 highly recommend Julia Nance Photography. Julia really takes the time to find out what you want from your session.
Sharee, Owner at Wellness & Co
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. Can’t wait to return for more headshots in the near future and would highly recommend anyone that needs the best of the best to utilise Julia’s services 🙂

Julia is such a cool person to work with, while simultaneously producing beautifully executed photographic work. I felt calm and really taken care of in her workspace. Her shots will be used by my business for a long time to come!
Tracy Hambly,

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!
Ben P,

I thoroughly enjoyed this photoshoot. Very relaxed environment. Julia was quick & easy to take directions from. Im thrilled my final prints which have pulled in more work.
Veronika Larson,

Super friendly and professional! Had a really great experience having headshots done by Julia
Daragh, actor.
Julia is so responsive and easy to deal with. I felt self-conscious having my photograph taken but she was relaxed and made me feel very comfortable. The location of her studio is beautiful and there were some lovely spots for photos. I did not feel rushed at all and I left feeling very pleased with how it all went. I ended up with some beautiful shots as well and turnaround was very quick! I highly recommend Julia!
Chloe
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 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!
Lucie, Actor & Musician.
Julia photographed my children for headshots and she was excellent to work with! Her studio is located in lovely grounds which are great for outdoor shots, and the indoor photos are equally as amazing. As well as being very pleased with the final images, I was also very impressed with the overall service and Julia's effective and timely communication both before and after the photography session. We will certainly approach Julia again in the future for her service!
Suba,
Mother of Jaya and Zane - actors
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. Wishing you all the best Julia!
Aurelia - Business owner at Aurelia Yeomans Jewellery
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.
Chris B
- Actor
Julia was absolutely lovely so welcoming and my child felt very comfortable! I would definitely recommend 😊
Amy
Thanks to Julia Nance Portraits. Finally someone took a great headshot and I can say that Julia has done a fantastic job !!
John Perthuis, Photographer & Videographer of Krysalyd Films
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!
Kelliann
Talented photographer that I felt comfortable with in front of the camera 🙂 Beautiful study just a bit outside of Melbourne.
Julia
- Actor and Model
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.
H - Senior Accountant
From the moment we met Julia, she made my daughter feel at ease during her photoshoot. Images were amazing and excellent quality! I would highly recommend Julia for portraits.
Luisa G,
Gemma's Mother - Gemma is an aspiring model.Â
Julia was terrific to work with. As someone who hates getting photographed, Julia made me feel relaxed and comfortable and I never felt rushed. Weeks later, after the shoot, when I was trying to choose my final photos I had a fair few questions and Julia was always quick to get back to me with her very helpful answers. My biggest problem was that I had too many good photos to choose from thanks to Julia's skill as a photographer.
Julie - Actor
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!
Maddison Falls,
Maddison Falls Photography
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!
Richard, Actor
Great service, very happy with the results and would highly recommend to others.
Sarah
From the initial booking to the final photos produced, Julia Nance was a true professional. Her bright personality, attention to my daughter's needs and "no time constraints" policy made the whole experience enjoyable. I can't speak highly enough of Julia! She's absolutely awesome.
Sue
It was really nice to get professional headshots taken by Julia, her studio set up is amazing and i am delighted with the final result! totally recommend her if anyone is looking to get amazing headshots taken.
