kind words

I am privileged to have had Iulia as my photographer for over 2 years now. While I can sing her praises as a talented visual storyteller who always delivers beautiful images, I think what’s most noteworthy is who Iulia is as a high integrity person. There are many talented photographers out there. But one that is honest, punctual, kind, flexible, and committed is rare and should be celebrated. With Iulia, you not only have talent, but someone who you can count on and trust.

- Mimi Young | Owner + Creative Director of CEREMONIE

Iulia has been the photographer on our last 3 seasonal catalogues that get distributed to over 400,000 homes in British Columbia. We do studio and location photographs that are then edited by Iulia for our catalogue, website, advertising, and social media featuring our shoes of the season. We hope to continue our working relationship going forward as Iulia is a great asset to the creative team. She is a professional; she understands our needs and helps us reach our goals. Iulia always shows up on time with a cheerful attitude, works hard and remains even-keeled under pressure. Iulia’s passion for her work is contagious; she loves creating photos and is always open to suggestions and collaborating with the rest of us. We often send each other ideas throughout the year.

- Carolyn Aronson | Ronsons Shoe Stores

Our network of press and retailers demand both industry standard glossy shots, and innovative storytelling through captivating lifestyle imagery.

Iulia is a supremely high-level, technical photographer. But her real talent is in conveying each individual brand's language through tone, texture, lighting, and angle - she can create any look we dream up.

We've had the great fortune of collaborating with her on multiple projects, and the result has been work featured in the pages of Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Elle Canada and in international markets. We adore her!

- Alicia Read | CEO of Kalosophie

I was introduced to Iulia's work through a friend when I was building my website and online presence a few years ago. I was looking for a light, airy style of photography that would fit well with the few things I had come up with for the time, as this is not my area of expertise.

Iulia was able create an amazing collection of photographs that not only rang true to what I wanted for my headshots and food photos, she also brought life, light and creativity to each shot. I am in awe of how she does this, every single time.

Her passion for her work is infectious. From our first shoot where her desire to get the perfect shot had her poised above my kitchen counter, to the last one where she silently caught little details I didn't even realize were there. Thank you Iulia for your wonderful work! I look forward to our next shoot.

It is with great excitement that I am here to share just how amazing Iulia Agnew is at capturing you and your light. She says she takes pictures in natural light but it is so much more than that, she is able to find the light inside of you and give it life. I was nervous and not too sure what to expect as I have never had any professional pictures taken and I am not the biggest fan of any pictures of myself at all. Iulia was so encouraging, genuine and kind that I was able to very quickly relax and follow her lead. We were taking pictures for my new business which means so much to me and I am very grateful to say we are using two of the many choices Iulia provided us. My dog was underfoot at all times and instead of being annoyed Iulia made him part of the shoot, including him in a few with me but also capturing some awesome shots of him alone while I was changing. The end results warmed my heart, she made me look better than I could have ever imagined and I have been able to see my own beauty for the first time I can remember. So much so that we have booked a more intimate shoot for the future.

- Trish Hudson | Executive Management Consultant at Holistic Hospitality Solutions

Iulia is the most talented photographer that I know. Every single person I introduce her to is blown away by her natural talent, professionalism and extraordinarily positive attitude. I do not know a single person, who, upon meeting Iulia, misses an opportunity to book a shoot with her. She gives me the confidence I never knew I had in front of the camera. Before Iulia, I feared photos, photographers and cameras. Iulia has a special gift where she captures your strengths and makes you shine like a star. Because of her, I feel beautiful. I am blessed to know her, and hands down, would only ever recommend her as a photographer to anybody looking for one.

- Alice Ko | Marketing and Finance Specialist at Pivot Six

Iulia is one of those talented rare gems that once you find, you’ll never want to let go. She has a unique ability to create exquisite photos no matter the environment; even on a rainy day with limited options her creativity shines and her final shots are brilliant. She has many strengths, ranging from her magical work with natural lighting to her uncanny ability to produce incredible product shots. Her easy-going personality makes her a dream to have on any project.

I've worked with Iulia on many shoots and when it came time for my wedding I was insistent that there was no other photographer I wanted. She delivered beyond my imagination and the shots are stunning images which I will cherish forever. Her aesthetic that incorporates bright white and bursts of light was perfect for my wedding photography wishes. I would work with her again in a heartbeat and recommended Iulia highly. Once you work with her, I'm confident you'll feel the same.

- Rachelle Hay | Bride

Our company hired Iulia consistently for our photography - we have no need to look elsewhere for our shoots! She is so wonderful to work with - always so kind, easy going, quick with the editing, and her photos are obviously fantastic! Her photos have made such a big difference for our social media presence and website! We are looking forward to working together for years to come!

- Emma Smith | Founder of Zimt Artisan Chocolates

As a blogger and former Miss Canada, I am very selective of who I choose to work with to represent my brand; Iulia never disappoints. Her photographic style and creativity is light, airy, bright and feminine.

Her work has distinct whimsical feel and her keen attention to detail knows how to make magic out of the ordinary. She is warm, professional and always willing to try something new.

She makes her clients feel beautiful and I would recommend her services to anyone, above and beyond, because I know that you will love her and her work as much as I do.

- Tara Teng | Miss Canada 2012

Iulia is one of the most creative and talented individuals I have met. Her eye for the little details is what I love most about her work. I needed some product photography for my website and I went straight to Iulia because I had seen her Product Photography before and I knew that she would be able to capture my products well. She exceeded all of my expectations and I am so happy with the outcome.

When Iulia has the opportunity to use her creative freedom, the outcome is completely magical. She sees things that others cannot see, which makes her unlike the rest.

She is a genuine and lovely individual, which makes working with her an absolute delight. I have enjoyed working with her and will continue to do so without a doubt!

- Victoria Senges | Owner + Designer of V SHOP by Victoria Senges Design Co.

Iulia is a resourceful, imaginative photographer. An idea comes into her head and she always somehow translates it into an amazing picture.. or, if it's not what she expected, she tweaks it to find another way to communicate her vision. Seeing her photos is like drinking a glass of water after walking a day in the desert; it's so refreshing!

I always feel well taken care of when shooting with her; if we're outside, she provides me with things to stay warm, and never hesitates to prepare a tea or coffee. The most important fact about Iulia, though, is that she captures the absolute best in whomever she's with. I can always depend on her to give me photos that I'd use to represent me in any part of the world.
