Prior to becoming a full time professional photographer, Julie-Anne worked as a mountaineering instructor and guide in both Canada and New Zealand.

She was the recipient of the Canadian Backcountry Purist award for her documentation of ski culture in the mountains of British Columbia through both film and video.
A professional photographer since 2004, Julie-Anne’s passion lies in documenting the wildest parts of this planet and the people, wildlife and cultures that inhabit them.
She spent two months documenting the people and culture of the Khumbu Valley of Nepal and her most recent work has taken her to the Galapagos, Amazon, Mexico, Ladakh, Bhutan, Vietnam, Morocco and again throughout Nepal, focusing on documenting the connection between women and the natural world.
Along with her husband and children, she has travelled throughout the mountains and deserts of Western North America, New Zealand, Central America and Asia.
She spent two months documenting the people and culture of the Khumbu Valley of Nepal and her most recent work has taken her to the Galapagos, the Amazon and kayaking in Mexico to document the connection between women and the natural world.
