My philosophy

about me

Hey! I’m Jules Ypma (Yip-Ma)—a Jesus loving traveler with a camera always in hand. I feel incredibly blessed to capture the beauty of His creation—through the people, places, and moments that make each journey so special.

I’ve had the joy of working with amazing clients across Arizona, and with every shoot, I aim to reflect His love and light. I offer affordable pricing because, for me, it’s all about the memories we create together—not the paycheck. This path is one of purpose, connection, and creativity, all guided by faith.

You can really see Jesus shining through her in the way she carries herself, speaks, and uplifts those around her. She was efficient, quick with her shots, and super communicative, which made the whole session run effortlessly. I will definitely be asking her to help with future photoshoots. Beyond just being talented, she takes the time to get to know the people she is working with. It felt like we created a real bond, and I left the session feeling so relieved, happy, and seen. She is truly a blessing to work with."

"I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to capture such a huge milestone in my life. She didn’t just take pictures, she told a story. From the cowboy hat and boots to the Lebanese stole and graduation cords, every detail was captured with intention and care.

"You were so warm from beginning to end! ❤️ it can always be nerve wrecking getting in front of a camera with a stranger- but it felt so natural with you!

You were so patient with our babygirl & worked around her needs. The sneak peaks were quick & beautiful!

We were more than happy to book another session. Can’t wait for it!"
