Behind the Shutter Story
Julie Licari Photography has been creating powerful portraits and headshots since 2008 — and the foundation has always been the same: find what makes you remarkable, and put it on camera.
Julie launched her practice in San Diego after recognizing that most headshots were falling short. Clean and competent, sure — but rarely compelling. She set out to change that, developing a signature style that pairs timeless technique with a sharp, narrative-driven vision. The results spoke for themselves. Early work with actors, models, families, and executives built a loyal following and a growing reputation as an innovator in the field.
That reputation opened doors. Julie expanded into luxury brand work, editorial shoots, national ad campaigns, and major brand launches — bringing the same meticulous attention to detail to every frame, at every scale.
Today, alongside a skilled team of stylists and creatives, Julie serves a diverse and ambitious clientele. The growth has been real — but so has the consistency. Every session, from a solo headshot to a full brand campaign, is approached with the same integrity, creativity, and care that started it all.
