Welcome to Julie Ulstrup Photography
Your Family Is Your Greatest Masterpiece
Value the Love That Built It With Portraits Designed to Preserve Legacy, Honor Milestones, and Celebrate the People Who Matter Most
There will never be another season quite like this one.
Your parents as they are today.
Your children before they step fully into adulthood.
The rare gathering where three generations share the same room.
Family changes quietly. The question is not whether it will change. The question is whether you will preserve it while everyone is still here to feel it.
You deserve to feel good in photos. You deserve photos that make you feel beautiful and proud. And you deserve artwork in your home that reflects your values, your devotion, and the life you have built together.
Also available for:
Brand Artistry • Milestone Commissions • High School Seniors
(all by consultation only)
There is a sacred moment when your family is fully together.
No rush. No noise. Just presence.
That moment deserves to live forever not on a phone, but on your wall.
As a luxury family photographer in Colorado, I create heirloom portrait artwork that celebrates the beauty of your family and the life you've built.
Each piece is designed to live at the center of your home to be seen, felt, and remembered.
A Family Portrait Experience Rooted in Meaning
Fine Art Family Portraiture Created with Presence, Emotion, and Intention
This is more than a photo session.
It is a guided, intentional experience designed around your family’s story. From wardrobe guidance to thoughtful location selection to the final installation of museum quality artwork, every detail is curated with care.
Whether in your family home, at a meaningful destination, or in a refined studio setting, the focus is always the same:
Connection.
Belonging.
Presence.
Because when you look at your walls, you deserve to see what matters most.

Julie made our family portrait session so relaxed and fun. All the photos came out so great that is was hard to pick. We are so pleased with the work she did for our family.
Julie worked with me before our shoot to effectively create a game plan. I wanted shots that I could use professionally (head shots) as well as pictures with my girls. She did a beautiful job capturing the spirit of them individually as well as us as a family
Our Process
1 Begin with Intention and a Conversation
Your relaxed consultation is to understand your family and ensure we are the right fit
2 Your Expertly Curated Experience
Thoughtful planning, wardrobe guidance, and gentle direction so you can feel confident and present you are guided with ease in every moment so your connection rises comfortably
3 Select Your Heirloom Art
A guided artwork selection, creating finished pieces for your home that are beautiful, tangible, and lasting. Whether it is an imported Italian Folio collection, a bespoke album or expertly designed wall art.
Families choose multigenerational portrait commissions when:
• Parents age
• Children prepare to leave home
• A meaningful anniversary or milestone birthday is celebrated
• A long awaited family reunion
• A health transition that makes presence even more sacred
The most meaningful portraits are rarely created in perfect seasons. They are created in real ones.
Years from now, these images will not represent a diagnosis or even a milestone alone.
They will represent devotion.
They will represent strength.
They will represent the values that shaped your family.
