Client Sneak Peeks
Grateful For Our Soldiers & Their Families~ Southeastern Wisconsin Family Photographer
As a photographer I feel very strongly about giving back of the talents I have been given. Two years ago I chose two charities that really pulled at my heart strings. One being Operation: Love Reunited and the other being Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep. Please, when you have time to really sit down and check these charities out, do so. You will be touched! I had no “personal story” to link me to either of these charities, but I do have a heart that goes out to families in both of these situations.
I am a very passionate person and when I hear of a family like this one, sending their Daddy, their Friend, their Husband off to war, my heart just aches. I can’t even begin to imagine all of the thoughts and emotions they experience. THIS is why I chose OpLove as one of the main charities I donate my time & talents to. We donate a free session for deploying, depolyed and returning military families. In pre-deployment situations like this one, once the soldier arrives at his/her base, the solider or his/her family contacts me with the mailing address and I send a 4×6 album overseas to the soldier, free of charge. This is a way to try to to make them feel closer to home…. a little boost…a way to have a piece of home there with them. I hope in some way, having these photos will help the families feel closer to their soldier & the soldier closer to their families. It’s my way of saying, “THANK YOU for your service to Our Country!”
My words often fail me (as you can see) but I pray that my art & my heart never do!
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart for your service!!!
Much ♥ and respect ~ Julie MayRee

Little Men ~ Pewaukee, WI Child and Family Photographer
I’ve fallen a little behind on blogging, please forgive me. Things have been so hectic around here!!!
I could not help but blog these little fellas 
Aren’t they the cutest!?! We had quite the time. Poor little man wasn’t feeling the best & we didn’t realize until after that the little trooper had a double ear infection. (his 1st) Poor little man! His big brother and I had a fun time, though. We hunted for “Tiger” the purple bear who was digging holes in the woods. I love my job & getting to enjoy the imagination of little ones. Thanks Anna for the opportunity to meet you and your little men!!!
Much love~
Julie MayRee
Colorful Little Princess~ Madison Newborn Photographer
I was so excited to finally get to meet this little gal. I have been awaiting her arrival for a couple of months now. We didn’t know if she was going to be a girl until the day she was born…but I was soooo happy that she was!!! I got to go ALL OUT and colorful with her!!! I was over the moon when her mama told me she wanted colorful photos! If you know me & my personal style…you KNOW I am IN LOVE with color! I enjoyed getting to know her & her mama. Daddy will be deploying in 2 weeks to head over to Iraq. We only got about 5 minutes with him before he had to head back to work. Thank you, Sir, for your service to Our Country and thank you to your little family & loving wife who is here at home supporting you.
Much Love~ Julie MayRee
