Virginia & Ben
Virginia and Ben’s maternity session in I’On, Mount Pleasant paired the character of the Lowcountry with a coastal-cowgirl-inspired aesthetic that felt entirely their own. Relaxed, feminine, and a little unexpected, the session celebrated this season of growing their family through cinematic imagery shaped by personal style, genuine connection, and the two of them simply being together.
There was never a goal to make Virginia and Ben’s photographs look like a traditional maternity session. Instead, their Western-inspired details and the Lowcountry setting became the starting point for something more personal. Jules leaned into their style and natural connection, creating images that felt editorial and considered while still holding the intimacy and excitement of this season.
Photographing this season without following a formula
Maternity photographs can celebrate what’s changing without losing sight of who you already are. For Virginia and Ben, that meant letting their relationship, styling, and coastal-cowgirl vision guide the session rather than relying on expected poses or traditional maternity imagery. The result feels distinctly personal: a relaxed portrait of the two of them and the season they were stepping into together.
Jules photographs maternity and couples sessions throughout Mount Pleasant, Charleston, and the surrounding Lowcountry with a cinematic, editorial approach. Rather than following the same formula for every session, she looks to each couple’s relationship, personal style, and chosen setting for direction—creating maternity photographs that feel artful while remaining honest to the people within them.
Why We love this venue
I’On gave Virginia and Ben’s session a distinctly Lowcountry sense of place while leaving room for their styling to bring something unexpected to the photographs. That contrast is part of what made the session feel so personal. Instead of treating the location as a backdrop, Jules used the setting and their coastal-cowgirl aesthetic together to shape the visual story.
Personal style can make maternity photographs feel much more like the people they belong to. Virginia and Ben’s Western-inspired details brought personality to the Lowcountry setting, while their natural connection kept the imagery grounded in something real. The combination created a session that felt feminine and editorial without losing the ease and intimacy Jules wanted to preserve.
Based in Charleston, Jules photographs maternity, couples, and lifestyle sessions throughout Mount Pleasant, I’On, Downtown Charleston, Daniel Island, and the surrounding Lowcountry. Her approach pairs thoughtful styling and a strong sense of place with natural interaction, giving couples space to create something visually distinctive without asking them to become someone else for the photographs.
Every session is designed to feel seamless, personal, and deeply meaningful. From the moment we connect to the final images in your hands, the focus is on more than photographs-it's about preserving your story in a way that feels timeless, refined, and entirely your own. Every session is designed to feel seamless, personal, and deeply meaningful. Every session is designed to feel seamless, personal, and deeply meaningful.
Weddings are at the heart of my work, alongside engagements, proposals, couples, maternity, family, and lifestyle photography. Across every story, I’m interested in the same things: genuine connection, personal style, meaningful settings, and photographs that feel specific to the people in them—not an idea of what the occasion is supposed to look like.
Cinematic, nostalgic photography that preserves the full feeling of your celebration — from the beautifully planned details to the event's unscripted moments.
Relaxed, personality-filled sessions with gentle direction and plenty of room to move, connect, and simply be yourselves together.
Artful photographs centered on connection, personality, and the little in-between moments that make this season of your family worth remembering.
Photography has always been part of my story
From a young age, I was inspired by my grandfather, whose love of photography and travel shaped the way I learned to see the world. His home was filled with cameras and photographs from faraway places, each holding a story of its own. That early sense of curiosity still influences the way I photograph today—looking closely, noticing what might otherwise pass by, and preserving images that become more meaningful with time.
Now based in Charleston, I photograph weddings and meaningful seasons throughout the Lowcountry, including Downtown Charleston, Mount Pleasant, Daniel Island, Johns Island, Kiawah Island, and the surrounding coast. I also travel beyond Charleston for celebrations and stories that take me elsewhere, bringing that same curiosity and attention to every place and person I photograph.

Her black and white photos are truly some of the best we have seen.
“Her photography style is dreamy, true-to-color, and somehow looks like what your eyes saw but even better, the perfect mix of vintage and modern. When we looked through our gallery, we remembered our day exactly as it happened because nothing felt staged. She captured everything so naturally as it unfolded. And her black and white photos? Truly some of the best we’ve ever seen."
