Sports Photography
Your athletic journey should be captured with the same intensity and dedication you bring to every game, match, or meet. As a Western Colorado sports photographer, I specialize in creating dynamic portraits that showcase both your athletic ability and personal style. Whether you’re sprinting down the track, commanding the wrestling mat, or celebrating a game-winning play, we’ll create powerful images that highlight your competitive spirit and athletic achievements. These aren’t just photos for your yearbook – they’re lasting memories of your high school sports career that celebrate your commitment, showcase your abilities, and capture the pride of representing your school in Montrose, Telluride, and across Western Colorado.
I love to create vibrant, authentic moments for your most memorable days.

EXCELLENT Based on 85 reviews Emily Robinson2024-11-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Adding another perfect review to the pile. Julien offered top-notch service from our first inquiry to the delivery of our final pictures. He was always quick to reply to any texts and worked with us to make our vision come to life. His work ethic and passion for his craft are unmatched. We are not from Colorado, so it was daunting to find a photographer on very short notice and trust that they could deliver on quality; after setting up a phone call I was confident we made the right choice. Julien was a pro at accommodating the hot mess that we were that day and also accommodating our dog on the adventure. His knowledge of providing perfect lighting and breathtaking backdrops made for pictures that are hard to believe are real. Our photo gallery was complete in record breaking time, and it brings us so much joy to look through all the pictures. Besides being an amazing photographer, we enjoyed getting to spend a few hours with him and having great conversation. We are very happy with Julien’s services and would not hesitate to use him again in the future! Shaylea Lawson2024-11-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My fiancé and I got engaged on the outlook of San Sofia & we couldn't be more thankful to have that moment captured on camera. When we got our photos back we were in awe, it was like looking at images from a hallmark movie. We are so happy and grateful that we can now share those moments with our friends & family. Julien was very helpful and easy to work with throughout the process. 10/10. Tiffany Stewart-Mora2024-11-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Julien is amazing! He is so talented. Julien took my daughter's senior photos and they all turned out better than we could have imagined. Julien made each photo session so much fun!! Zion Conley2024-11-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Julien was an absolute pleasure! He was professional, efficient, and amazing to communicate with. Our pictures of our wedding turned out beautifully! I couldn’t have asked for better! Della Gargus2024-10-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Julien was very professional, my son doesn’t like to take pictures, but he was very comfortable doing these with him. My husband was there and said Julien was awesome and his set up was great the whole shoot went very smooth. The quality of pictures are amazing and the pricing was affordable. Very nice man and answered every question we had. Thank you Julien for an awesome job well done. Tiffany Krumland2024-10-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Julien was an amazing photographer and made our fall leaves photographic dreams come true. He knew the exact spot to capture our vision- leaves, mountains and reflections. He was very easy to talk to, let us view our photos as he took them and even gave us hiking tips. We loved the next day sneak peaks of our photos and the complete gallery was delivered to us faster than promised. Julien, we will definitely be back to the area to work with you again soon! Crystal Mengenhausen2024-10-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Julien was wonderful and is so talented. He captured some amazing senior photos for our daughter and even took some awesome family photos for us. He is very personable, has great customer service, and ensured we were pleased with the outcomes. Highly recommend! Matt Fenicle2024-10-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I hired Julien to help plan a surprise proposal during our Ouray vacation. Julien went above and beyond in his planning. He suggested a great spot for our sunrise drive, set up the surprise perfectly, and took phenomenal photos of the proposal we will cherish forever. We also did a mini engagement shoot after where Julien guided us with ease and made us feel so comfortable in what I expected to feel awkward. He also captured great photos of our pup! I would highly recommend Julien for any photography needs, especially in the Montrose/Telluride/Ouray area as his local knowledge was exceptional! Cheri Krauss2024-10-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Julien is the best! We love his professionalism and his attention to detail - he always captures our families best! He can even get my son and husband to smile. We highly recommend Julien to capture your special events and moments! Grace Kepler2024-10-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My fiancé and I had a great time taking engagement photos with Julien! We knew we wanted lots of foliage in our pictures and Julien gave us multiple options for locations. He even sent us pictures of the different locations the week leading up to the photoshoot so we knew what the foliage was looking like ahead of time and could make a decision on exactly where we wanted to go. The shoot itself went smoothly and was very enjoyable. Julien is very passionate about photography and loves to share his knowledge with his clients, which my fiancé and I really enjoyed. We received a few sneak peeks less than 24 hours later and our entire picture gallery was sent to us not even 3 weeks later. We both definitely would recommend Julien to anyone looking for a great photographer. He was knowledgeable, helpful, friendly, an excellent communicator (this is huge since I know many many people whose photographers were terrible at communicating) and overall just fun to be with! We are so happy to have such beautiful pictures to look back on for years.

FAQ.
The best time to schedule is during your active season when you have access to your uniform and equipment. Book at least 2-3 weeks in advance to ensure we can coordinate around your practice and game schedule.
Bring your uniform(s), all relevant equipment, and any team gear you’d like to include. Multiple jerseys (home/away) can create variety in your photos. Don’t forget things like letterman jackets or awards if you’d like to incorporate them.
We can shoot at your home field, court, or athletic facility. I also have access to several locations that provide dramatic backdrops for athletic portraits while still highlighting your sport.
Sports sessions typically last 90 minutes, giving us time to capture both action shots and posed portraits with different equipment and poses.
Yes! While individual sessions are most common, you can coordinate with teammates for group shots or even split a session with a fellow athlete.
I have professional lighting equipment specifically for indoor sports photography, allowing us to create dramatic portraits even in challenging gym lighting conditions.
I use specialized equipment and techniques to freeze motion and capture key moments. We’ll combine posed action shots with traditional portraits to showcase your athletic abilities.
Come in your full uniform with any alternate jerseys or practice gear you’d like to include. Bring athletic shoes appropriate for your sport and any protective equipment you typically use.
While these sessions focus on individual portraits and posed action shots, I can also be hired separately for game coverage and action photography.
Based in Montrose, I primarily photograph in Western Colorado, including Telluride and the surrounding San Juan Mountain region. I’m happy to travel to your preferred location within this area.
