Follow-up Interview with Julie Denby

Julie has a very special place in our hearts, because she made the cover of our first issue last year. And we wanted to follow up with her and see what’s new in her world. So here is our second interview with Julie.

1 Hi Julie! So wonderful talking to you again! How have you been since we spoke last time? Hi! I’ve been doing well. Super busy with work and taking care of my son!

2. Any exciting projects you’ve been working on lately? You’re always shooting something. Your Instagram is as beautiful and colorful as always.

Exciting projects I’ve recently just shot: Starbucks and CT Lottery.

3. Not many people might understand how much work you put into creating these incredible images. Could you take us a little behind the scenes, explain a little for our readers the process?

Depending on the project or idea I have for the shoot, my first step is picking a location. A lot of time can go into researching an area to shoot. Next I pick my props and all the items I need to shoot with. For example if it’s a coffee shot I like to take themed props with me to add extra touches to the photo.

4. It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Do you have any special projects you’re working on for Christmas?

I’m planning a fun Christmas shoot at a tree farm! Can’t give too much away but it will have a hot cocoa bar and lots of yummy treats.

And now some rapid fire questions:

5. What’s your favorite place for Holidays? And what is so particular about that specific place?

I love London at Christmas! But I also love New Hampshire too! Both places are so magical in their own ways.

6. What is your favorite Christmas Carol?

I love Nat King Cole’s entire Christmas album. It’s seriously so beautiful.

7. Favorite Christmas movie?

National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation is THE best movie!

8. Favorite Christmas dish?

I’m a BIG fan of all the Christmas desserts: pies and cookies are my weakness.

9. Favorite Christmas tradition?

I have a lot of favorites. I love decorating my home and decking the halls with all things Christmas. I also love baking with my son and eating all our treats together. And lastly I love exploring my home state and finding all the beautiful Christmas towns and events.

10. Favorite Christmas activity?

I love going to the tree farm and cutting down our own Christmas tree. It’s such a special time with my family and it’s something I’ve done since I was a kid.
