Sunday with the Pros - Hands on Learning with Julie Gayler

Julie Gayler

With a strong entrepreneurial spirit, Julie’s early career spans a variety of start-ups and support in various fields, including teaching, animal science, paralegal and autism therapy.

She formally opened her photography business in 2009, beginning her journey with landscape photography and exploring many genres over the years. She has years of experience with portraiture, documentary, weddings and events, real estate, and conceptual photography. This experience gives a powerful perspective for her work to express the many unique viewpoints and styles of her clients.

As a former military spouse, she has moved to many locations across the U.S. Her husband of nearly 12 years committed suicide in 2017, and she has become a passionate advocate for mental health, among creatives in particular.

Her greatest passion is building community and teaching others. This has transformed into coaching, supporting and encouraging a community of authentic support in the photography community called Seven Rising Studio.

She currently resides in Little Rock, Arkansas, but regularly travels across the United States for commissions and seminars. Currently she has been teaching off camera lighting to other photographers with the Speedlight Fundamentals team, with over 50 seminars to date.

You can find her at home in the country most days as a full-time homeschool mom to her four children (ages 14, 12, 10 and 7), and chasing their myriad of chickens.


Whether you're a beginner looking to grasp the fundamentals or an experienced photographer seeking to refine your off-camera lighting skills, Sunday promises an enriching, hands-on learning experience under the guidance of a passionate and dedicated instructor. With over 50 seminars conducted and hundreds of students taught, Julie does not focus on a prescribed shooting style but meets students at their level and strives to help them unleash their creative potential and desired lighting effects anytime, anywhere. Julie will demystify the basics of exposure and provide practical insights into controlling light and the versatility of off camera flash.


This is a free class to ALL Metro PPA members and class size is limited. Don't miss this unique opportunity to elevate your skills with this hands on lighting seminar.
