Featured Client: Julie Bartoo of Choreography by Julie

Hey Erie!

Ever watched a couple's first dance and thought, "Oof, that looks painful"? Or maybe you're the one with the upcoming wedding, sweating bullets at the thought of tripping?

Well, fear not. This is where Julie Bartoo of Choreography by Julie steps in to save your dance floor dignity.

When Julie invited me to her sunny studio, I knew we were in for something special. This wasn't just a branding session - it was a chance to capture the heart of a business that's all about turning nervous couples into confident dancers.

From Nervous Shuffle to Fancy Footwork

Julie's passion is contagious. She specializes in crafting wedding dances that are both fun and achievable. No matter your skill level, she'll guide you through moves and dips that'll have your guests cheering.

As Julie put it, "I want couples to know they can come in for a few hours and leave feeling like Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. No dance experience? No problem!"

Julie's mission isn't just about dancing, it's about helping her clients get their wedding off “on the right foot.”

A Business Built on Connection

When Julie's family joined us in the studio, the entire session gained a deeper meaning. Her husband and two sons are clearly her biggest fans, their laughter echoing through the space.

This, my friends, is what makes a brand truly shine. We made sure to capture those moments of pure connection, because every great business is built on a foundation of love and support. The family behind the scenes is what fuels every step.

The Power of an Intentional Photoshoot

Capturing Julie's brand required more than just photos, it required strategy and comfort.

As someone who had never done a photoshoot before, Julie was thrilled with the experience and had this to say:

“Working with Chris was a fantastic experience from start to finish. As someone who has never done a photoshoot before, I was thankful for his detailed information regarding props, clothings, make up etc. which he provided via his professional website and emails leading up to the shoot. He was always available for any questions I had, too. I felt very prepared! On the day of the shoot, Chris made me feel so comfortable and gave me a lot of excellent poses and specific direction while also allowing me to try some of my own ideas as well. I would recommend Zdarko Photography to anyone seeking professional photography for their business branding, family photos or any other portraits. I am so happy and grateful!!”

We created images that captured her as both the graceful artist and the approachable instructor.
