Can you believe you made it?! After long nights of studying, early classes, and countless memories, you’re about to earn that degree! While it’s bittersweet, it means you’ve also earned the best graduation photo experience Campbell University has to offer!
Julia Renee Photography specializes in fun, bright, and colorful images to help you remember your favorite days and places forever. I'm here to ensure you feel comfortable and confident while showcasing all of your incredible achievements. I can’t wait to celebrate with you!
You've worked hard to get here, and now it's time to celebrate! Gather your cap, gown, and your besties and let's pop the champagne while we capture this important achievement through the most fun graduation photo experience!!
I'm Julia, the lead photographer and owner of Julia Renee Photography. I graduated from Michigan State in 2018 (um, where does the time go?!) and immediately missed the college experience, so after moving to Raleigh in 2020, I knew I had to reconnect with that world. The friendships, the football games, the accomplishments - it all goes by way too fast - so as a photographer, I knew I wanted to make an impact on college seniors by capturing those moments and friendships for students.
Now in 2024, I'm entering my 4th year of photographing grads, with over 250 sessions at 10+ universities! While I wish I could photograph everyone, my busy schedule led me to build a team of photographers to ensure all seniors can enjoy the JRP experience.
At your session, I'll be your biggest cheerleader, helping you feel confident and comfortable. I’ll want to hear all about your goals and make sure to capture that classic cap-and-gown photo for your parents!
I can’t wait to work with you!
NC weather can be unpredictable which is why we keep reschedule dates in our calendar each week. I will notify you 24 hours before your shoot if it looks like we'll have to reschedule for rain, temperatures over 95 degrees or under 35 degrees, or winds over 15 mph.
Absolutely!
With any package, you can order prints directly through your final gallery after it is delivered to you (they come from our print shop, are affordable, and are high quality)!
If you'd like to print your own photos elsewhere, you'll either need to purchase print rights if booking the Lil Camel or you'll want to book the Big Camel session or the Fighting Camel session which includes print rights. This will allow you to print your images anywhere as often as you'd like!
1-2 weeks depending on your package, but you can also add rush editing if you'd like to see them sooner!
My sessions start at $500 and go up from there!
A $100 retainer holds your spot for each of these sessions, and will be billed upon booking. This also counts towards your total, so the price you see is the price you'll pay. The remainder is due on the day of your session & you will receive an invoice with a payment reminder for that final payment.
I offer a 60 minute, 90 minute, and 120 minute session and you can also add on more time if you need it!
I start photographing grad sessions as early as late February through May with the busiest month being April. I shoot either right in the morning or 1-2 hours before the sun sets for the best lighting.
To avoid campus being busy with other grads/photographers at the popular spots, I recommend booking for Feb/March or April mornings.
Group sessions are my favorite! With my 90 minute and 2 hour sessions, you can have up to 10 people in your shoot, and split the prices above. The more people you bring, the more fun you'll have! Have more than 10 friends in your group? Just add more session time! Group sessions always include both group photos and individual shots of everyone.
Please note that the more friends you bring along, we may not be able to visit as many locations. For example, 1 grad can typically visit 3-4 locations in a 90-minute session, but 5-10 friends may only have time for 1-3!
There are 3 main differences between the Lil Camel and the Big Camel. (1) With the Lil Camel package, all of your prints are ordered directly through JRP. (2) The Lil Camel is a solo session & the Big Camel can include up to 10 friends. (3) You get your images back in 2 weeks with the Lil Camel package. With the Big Camel, that turnaround time is just one week!
Please do!
Julia was so amazing for my grad photos! She never ran out of pose or location ideas and was able to easily guide me through the entire process! The photos came out amazing and I would definitely recommend!

Julia was absolutely AMAZING to work with. We had a group of 7 for a grad photo session and the wind was 15 mph that day. Julia so kindly offered to reschedule us, but our group ended up going for it, and the photos turned out fantastic!! In spite of hair and gowns blowing everywhere due to the wind, you would have never known based off of the photos! Our experience with her was a true testament to her professionalism and talent! She was so kind and accommodating and I couldn’t have been happier with the results. Couldn’t recommend her enough!!

Julia was the best graduation photographer! She did my individual pictures and group pictures of me and my roommates! She was knowledgeable and helped me with posing and finding the best spots to take pictures. She made sure I got more than enough pictures to choose from! Couldn’t recommend her more! She’s the best.

Julia took my graduation photos for me and my best friend AND my two black labs! They came back in less than a week and there were so many! She gave us ideas of how to pose and they came out so good! I got so many compliments. Julia is the best!!!!! Look no further for graduation photos or for any occasion!

Julia was so amazing!! Me and my best friend decided to do a group session where we both got individuals and pictures together. Julia was so professional and quick on her feet, she already had a bunch of pose ideas and gave us great direction and the pictures turned out so beautiful!! We had such a fun time too, her personality was so easy-going it made the whole session feel laid back without a lot of pressure which was so refreshing!! Overall, I loved how beautiful my grad pics turned out and I’m thankful we chose Julia to do them!!!
