Twenty-five years of composing images, now for homes on the coast

I’m Julia Montroy. I live and work in Laguna Beach, and I photograph and film listings from Huntington Beach to San Clemente.

My story

For twenty-five years I’ve been a designer, building images for print and brand campaigns. That work taught me to see a frame the way a viewer does: where the eye lands first, how light crosses a room, which small detail makes a space feel lived in.

Architecture is the thing I never stop looking at. Living in Laguna Beach, an artist’s town with canyon light and the coast on every walk, I notice how a home is put together long before I lift the camera.

I shoot every listing myself. When you book, you get me, from the first exterior to the last detail frame.

When I’m not shooting, I’m out in the canyon with my dog, Lex.

How I work

Prepared

I walk the home first and plan the order of rooms around the light.

Plain-spoken

If a room needs a few things moved, I’ll say so kindly and help fix it.

Honest

Edits show a room at its best, never different from what buyers will see in person.

Easy to reach

Call or text me directly. You’ll hear back from me.

“A listing is the first time a buyer walks through the door. I want that first visit to feel like the real one.”
