Julie Hopkins’s Summary

I have been photographing people, places and things since 1997. I was a professional ballet dancer for thirteen years and my dance career that spanned the globe, along with a degree in art history, and a passion for art, helped to develop my discerning eye for beauty. I am a member in good standing of Association for Wedding Professionals International, Advertising Photographers of America, Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and Le Tip (business networking group). I also hold a certificate in photography from Santa Monica College. I am published in Dance Magazine, Pointe magazine, Back Stage (west) and exhibit my dance imagery in local shows.

We are based in Los Angeles, California, and accept work nationally. For more details or to see our print portfolio, please visit our website at www.cameracreations.net.
