Testimonials
I’m very introverted and am uncomfortable in front of a camera. Julie made the process very easy and relaxing for my headshots. Very grateful! Jason Mercer, Bravo Window Cleaning
Julie took my headshots and they are terrific! She is so sweet and such a professional. Her studio is great. She has such an eye for lighting. I would recommend her to anybody! Thanks Julie! Jeff Monahan, Business Attorney
It’s frustratingly hard for someone to take a good picture of me. However, Julie was amazing. She knew just how to have me tilt my head, lower my chin, and stand so that the photos came out showing my personality as well as looking good! Highly recommended! Jamie Wallace, Get Smart for College
I love Julie, such a warm person to shoot photos with. That is what you need when looking to shoot good headshots!! Roderick McCarthy, Actor
Julie was great! She was very professional, and I was so pleased with the product that I ordered additional photos! I highly recommend Julie for any photography project that you might have!

Video testimonial from Robert and Carolee Rico, California Realty Training:
Julie is amazing at what she does. I hired her for the very important job of photographing my son’s bar mitzvah and what Julie created was beyond my expectations! She not only took absolutely exquisite photos, she created a photo book that told the story of the bar mitzvah via photos. It is absolutely beautiful. Julie is a great listener, a brilliant artist and an asset to anyone who hires her. I can’t recommend Julie and Camera Creations Photography highly enough. Hire her!
Johanna Besterman, Orange Butter Bakery, artisanal bakery.
Julie is wonderfully personable and is a very talented photographer. She has photographed our family as well as taking a range of headshots. Both shoots were fantastic experiences with great memories and professional shots. Thank you Julie!
Katherine Macey, Organize to Excel, Professional Organizer.
I highly recommend Julie and Camera Creations Photography! After our photo shoot with her, my biggest regret I wish I had known her sooner and taken the family and professional headshot pictures earlier! She is absolutely amazing! Very creative, talented, patient and reasonable as well! She is wonderful with animals too! Life is short! Capture the moments because they will be gone! Thank you Julie Hopkins!
Julie is a true delight! I needed new headshots and Julie did a wonderful job for me. She is a professional, intuitive, and one of the kindest people you will ever meet. I highly recommend Julie.

Family photography – what an art! Julie had captured our family in a candid snapshot at an event – and made us look good — so of course we called her for a portrait session. All of us agreed it was a wonderful experience – Julie is warm, professional, responsive. And we’re thrilled with the results. An A+ experience.
Amy Sinclair
I recently started a business and needed photos for my webpage. I narrowed it down to 2 photographers and went with the guy who was closer to me. BIG MISTAKE. So of course I then went to #2, who should have been #1 – Julie at Camera Creations! She was everything and more. Professional, organized and most importantly – talented!! I know they are just business headshots but I feel like a superstar. Everyone is noting how warm and personable I appear, something you certainly want when selling services. I also used her make-up artist who did a beautiful, natural job. Overall a 5 star experience!!!

I took my GSD, Bailey, for some photos at Julie’s studio. Well, what she did was absolutely amazing!

“I must say Julie has taken the best photos for me! I needed a head shot and she made me look beautiful. I then hired Julie to do a holiday photo of me with my husband and our sweet dog, Duchess. It is a lovely photo of us at the park, where we would take Duchess for a walk on the weekends. We loved the photo and used it for our holiday cards. The photo means even more to us now, because our beloved pet recently passed away. Thank you Julie for such a lovely photo of that special moment in time.”

“Worked together on various projects, and felt very confident in her abilities and creativity in studio and on location. She is a pleasure to work with.”
Mike Kukuchka, MAK Photography
“I needed photos of my office for a brochure and other print advertising I was doing, and was referred to Julie Hopkins of Camera Creations. To say that I was pleased would be an understatement. Julie took the most gorgeous photos imaginable of my workspace, capturing the natural light beautifully. I was so impressed that I had her do my headshots I am now using those headshot photos for various projects I am working on—article headings, my blog, and so forth and they simply look fantastic. Not only is Julie’s work outstanding but her work ethic is exemplary. She is always on time, even early to get everything set up properly; she makes her clients comfortable during the shoot—no small feat with non-professionals—and she completes the job quickly. Best of all, her fees are affordable! I also understand that she does wedding photography, so I won’t hesitate to refer my friends to her for that service too. I was really impressed by the whole package. I can say with complete conviction that if you are looking for the best photographer in Los Angeles, look no further than Camera Creations. Thanks for everything Julie.”
Dr. Nick Campos , Chiropractor Los Angeles, CA
“I was updating my website, and was in need of new headshots. I researched several people, but was not impressed. A colleague of mine, who was also updating his website, referred me to Julie Hopkins. She had taken his headshots, and he had nothing but great things to say about Julie. I recently had my headshots taken with Julie and it was truly a great experience! She has such a great eye for lighting and balance, and she is so patient! She was very professional and gave me advice on everything from what suit colors would match my skin tone, to what poses would send the right message. But she also let me have some say during the shoot, which was very refreshing! Furthermore, within a week she had my headshots retouched and ready for me to begin using. I would not hesitate to recommend Julie Hopkins to any of my family, friends, or colleagues.”
