About Us

Juliet Van Dyke has worked as a photographer for nearly 15 years. After receiving a degree in Public Relations and Marketing, Juliet developed her eye for great photography when she began working in the modeling and talent industry in Dallas, Texas. With all of her years of experience in the business, she serves as a consultant and mentor. Juliet is often called upon for interviews for television, radio and newspaper feature stories as an expert in the industry. She also conducts educational seminars across the country as a key note speaker on photography on a regular basis.

While working as an agent, casting director and manager for an international talent organization, Juliet picked up a camera and began shooting up and coming stars. “I knew the look that the clients were asking for,” says Juliet, “so I started shooting the talent myself.” After only a short time, her keen eye for composition, light and color began winning her numerous national awards. She has successfully worked with hundreds of models and talent with agencies in Chicago, New York, LA, Miami, Atlanta, Dallas, Europe and Japan. She began traveling all over the country, shooting for various agencies and various clients for designers, catalogs and magazines.

She furthered her studies when she attended the Texas Institute for Photographic Studies and the Ferro Photography School. With the knowledge of a pro, she expanded her business to include weddings, family portraits, senior portraits and children's photography. Juliet's unique style makes her work look like it’s straight out of a magazine. “I can make almost anyone look like a star,” says Juliet. One unique aspect of her work is that she also does free make-up and hair with her service. She even will assist you in selecting the right clothing for your shoot.

Juliet is assisted by her husband Jason Van Dyke. Jason has received a degree in Advertising and Marketing from the University of North Texas. Jason has accomplished so many things in his life, but he is very humble. Julie and family are always the ones who have to "brag" about his accomplishments to others. For example, he was an international fashion model in his young 20's. Jason was represented by top agencies in LA, Dallas, Miami and Milan, Italy. During this time Jason met Juliet just as his acting and modeling career began to take off. Jason has appeared in designer fashion shows, fashion magazines, TV commercials, feature films, and print campaigns, not to mention minor film roles. Jason worked for various clients such as JC Penny’s, Levis, and Guess Jeans.

Jason retired from being in front of the camera after being diagnosed with cancer at age 24. More impressive he battled cancer while earning his college degree! Jason successfully went through cancer treatments and now remains in remission today. He is now in perfect health. Jason has been cancer free for over 7 years. Juliet & Jason are active fundraisers for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Light the Night.

Jason also studied photography along the side of Juliet at the Ferro Photography School to keep up his creative edge on the latest in digital photography, trends and updated techniques in retouching and special effects. For the last five years, Jason has worked as a Director of a National Marketing Association for the performing arts in Nashville, Tennessee. Jason actively works handling marketing and national public speaking engagements along the side of his wife Juliet. Jason also is a photographer and works as a photographer the weddings and special events for their clients. In addition to the creative aspects and marketing of Juliet Photography.

On December 31, 2006 Juliet & Jason celebrated the new year with the birth of their first child Carly Elaine Van Dyke. She is the first grandchild on both sides of the family. Carly's grandparents love the fact that mom and dad specialize in wedding photography. This ensures that they will spend almost every Saturday baby sitting Carly.

Juliet & Jason understand the importance of family history. They find great pleasure in capturing all those special memories that life has to offer. And they look forward to photographing your cherished moments to share with generations to come.
