JULIA VERSTRAATEN

A voice in my head: "To be honest, I’m not sure where to start telling you about myself."
Adult Julia: "Well, start at the beginning."
That voice: "Okay? But where did it start?"
Adult Julia: "With my aunt's camera when I was little and a burnout."

Yes, those two things were the seeds of this amazing business!

Let me tell you a short story about a young woman:

Once upon a time, in a busy world, there was a dedicated young woman. With her strong ability to understand others, she quickly grasped their challenges and needs. Her proactive nature helped her spot problems early and offer solutions, often knowing what others needed before they asked. Clear communication was the heart of her work, building trust and teamwork. Being reliable was essential to her; she provided regular updates and managed expectations, allowing others to focus on what was most important. She also emphasized balance, helping others find harmony between their personal and work lives. With her focused strategies, she became a source of support for growth, helping others achieve their goals and find joy in their efforts.

Can you guess who she is?
“She” is me! :)

Since I was little, my aunt trusted me with her camera, and I loved capturing emotions at family gatherings. Over the years, that spark grew and kept growing. In the beginning, I thought, “It’s just a hobby.” But in 2019, I realized that I could do more with this; I wanted to pursue it further because it felt natural. The steps were clear: taking different courses, practicing a lot, and building a portfolio! Not long after that, an interest in video swooped in. Well… I can tell you it was a bit of a battle because it works differently than photography. But I LOVED learning and putting all the pieces together, and I still do!

2019 version of me: “This university program in safety and security management seems interesting.”
2024 version of me: “I’m proud of myself for earning my bachelor’s degree, but I FULLY ignored what my body was telling me. I showed so much discipline that I broke down in my last year. Discipline is a good thing, but only if you use it for the right reasons.”

I’m grateful for my business coach and my therapist, who helped me actually feel again (instead of living mainly in my rational mind) and encouraged me to ask myself, “What do I really want?” That’s not a question for a casual Sunday morning, but I took the time to figure it out. Discovering my qualities, what I enjoy, and what I value led to the creation of Julia X Vision (JXV)—a more complete, detailed, and better version of my business! Offering more varied services felt right. I enjoy using all my skills to help others grow on both business and personal levels.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and  for joining me on this journey! I invite you to explore my portfolio. If you're ready to collaborate on creating stunning visuals or need a reliable PA to elevate your productivity, let’s connect and create something amazing together!
