Meet the Photographer
Hi, I'm
Julia Jacome
Last name pronounced (Hawk-oh-may)
I'm a Scottsdale, Arizona-based Photographer and Content Creator with a passion for storytelling, connection, and creating imagery that feels authentic to the people and brands in front of my camera.
My love for photography started long before I ever stepped onto a sports field with a camera. Growing up in Southern California, I was always creating. In high school, I would ask my friends to model for me, spending afternoons exploring new locations, experimenting with concepts, and learning how to tell stories through imagery. Those early shoots sparked my love for lifestyle photography and showed me how powerful photography could be as a way to connect with people.
At the same time, sports were a huge part of my life. Some of my earliest memories were spent at baseball fields watching my brothers play while my grandma stood behind the fence with a camera in her hands. Before long, I was asking to borrow that camera, and she became the first person to teach me photography.
When I stopped playing sports in high school, photography became my way of staying connected to the community that had shaped so much of my life. What started as photographing local games, my younger brother's travel baseball team, and an Australian baseball team our family hosted each summer eventually led me to Oregon State Athletics. Over the next four years, I photographed sporting events, media days, recruiting shoots, and learned from mentors who challenged me to grow both creatively and professionally.
Alongside my work in sports, I continued pursuing lifestyle, branding, and commercial photography. What started with photographing friends evolved into opportunities to create content for businesses, collaborate on marketing campaigns, and work with brands looking to tell their stories through intentional imagery.
That journey eventually brought me to Arizona, where I pursued my master's degree in sports law and business at Arizona State University while continuing to grow as a creative. Through internships, freelance opportunities, and relationships built along the way, I've had the opportunity to work with organizations like Major League Baseball, the WNBA, Google Pixel, the Big 12 Conference, the NCAA, and NIL agencies.
Today, my work sits at the intersection of photography, content creation, branding, sports, and storytelling. Whether I'm photographing a brand launch, capturing an event, creating content with athletes, or documenting everyday moments, my goal remains the same: to create imagery that feels genuine and helps people feel seen.
Sports may have been where my journey began, but storytelling is what continues to drive it. I'm grateful for every person, opportunity, and lesson that has shaped my path so far, and I'm excited to keep learning, growing, creating, and meeting incredible people along the way.
"Julia has been an incredible photographer to work with across multiple projects. She has captured several of my golf events as well as architectural and lifestyle content for a client, and every time she exceeds expectations."
