Hey there! I'm Julea! I am a Florida native, born and raised right here in the Tampa Bay. I absolutely love good food, coffee and beach time with my husband Irfan and our littles. My career path originally started in the beauty industry and my love for helping others feel beautiful naturally transitioned into photography. I love being creative and giving back to families an experience that I would want for my own family.
My name is Irfan! Other than a photographer I am a family man and passionate cook. Most days you can find me in the kitchen cooking my favorite Indian food or outside being active with my family. My photography journey started in South India many years ago photographing landscapes and locals. I moved to the US to study photography and doing so brought me to my beautiful wife Julea. Together we have turned our passion for art and compassion for others into a thriving business that we look forward to each day.
Together we give you J.I. Photography. We both work together in all of our sessions to guarantee smiles from small children. Typically Julea will direct the family, getting those kiddos looking our way while Irfan is getting the perfect photo. Being parents ourselves we totally understand that children do not easily take direction. Letting kids be kids is our go to technique with families.

Julea and irfan are so welcoming and friendly and did a great job at capturing personalities. The whole process was effortless which photos with kids we know can be challenging.

"Great from start to finish! Having a very curious and energetic 3 year old can be difficult when trying to take family photos.

Julea and Irfan were absolutely wonderful to work with! They captured some of the most special photos of our newborn son. As a first time Mom I was nervous about doing a photo shoot while I was still recovering myself but Julea and Irfan made it absolutely stress-free. They adapted to my babies’ needs and even provided me with a dress from their client closet which helped take the stress off of trying to find the perfect outfit. Additionally, all of their instructions about how to prepare my baby for the photo shoot helped me feel ready and less anxious about how things would go. It was truly such a special time of getting to bond as a family of three. I can’t recommend J.I. photography enough!

"Julea and Irfan shot our first ever photos as a family of 3! We had so much fun with them capturing the best memories. We will cherish our photos forever. They made the process quick and easy for our 3 month old. They had the perfect location in mind for our style. We got our photos back quick and easy. We can’t wait to continue to capture our family with JI Photography. I highly recommend."

Julea and Irfan were true professionals. My family had an amazing time creating memories to hang on our walls. Julea and Irfan kept our 7 year old smiling the entire time. I would highly recommend reaching out to J.I. photography you won’t regret it.

We couldn't be more pleased with our experience with Julia and Irfan. Julea and Irfan were amazing and so very wonderful to work with. We are so over the moon in love with our photos. I just keep looking through them and smiling. They captured our family so perfectly. Will definitely be in touch for another photoshoot to capture our family over the years. It's priceless to capture our family and both Julea and Irfan did such a fantastic job doing so! From beginning to end it was a pleasure to work with them and will always treasure our keepsakes they captured.
