Hello friends!
It’s Toni & Julia here, the founders of Equipped Creatives! We’re both full time wedding photographers turned entrepreneurs & business educators. Both of us have turned our hobbies into six figure businesses, and we want you to be able to do the same! Our friendship has been one of the most unique friendships either of us have ever experienced, not only due to the way we met, but also because we’ve been able to help each other grow in our businesses and succeed in our photography careers. As best friends and now co-creators of Equipped Creatives, we’re so excited to help you grow in your career. We designed this site to equip you with the tools and resources needed to elevate your business.

About Julia
Hey! I’m Julia (the co-founder of Equipped Creatives). I’m so excited you’re here! I’m a full time destination wedding photographer turned business educator & entrepreneur. I turned my photography hobby into the full time business of my dreams in Hawaii! Since then, I’ve been able to travel the world, meet so many cool people, and pursue my passion. Best of all, I’ve been able to be my own boss and run my own schedule! Owning a business is challenging, but it is also one of the most rewarding things in the world!
Throughout the years, I’ve learned a lot and have become just as passionate about the business side of things as photography. Whether you’re starting a business or dreaming up something amazing, I want to help you create the life you want, fulfill your God-given purpose, and make your dreams a reality. That’s what we’re all about here at Equipped Creatives. So, come join this incredible community of creatives & let’s get to work!

About Toni
Hi! I'm Toni (the co-founder of Equipped Creatives). I'm a full time wedding and couples photographer based out of Philadelphia, PA but I go wherever it is my couples' love stories lead. Owning my own photography business since I was 16 has sparked a passion in me for the love of entrepreneurship and all things business.
Over the years of experience, I've had the chance to use what I've become an expert in to help other creatives grow in their own business ventures too! And now, teaming up with one of my best friends to create a platform for other business owners to learn and thrive from is a dream come true! It's no secret that being your own boss comes with it's challenges- but it's also one of the greatest gifts and so much fun! That's why I am so excited you've found yourself HERE, with us!

How we met
Believe it or not, we actually met doing the one thing we’re both equally as passionate about: traveling! In 2017, we met on an AIRPLANE, crazy right? For both of us, traveling has and always will be a huge part of our lives. Julia lives in Hawaii and Toni lives in Philadelphia, PA- literally complete opposite sides of the country. But not even opposite coasts could keep us apart! The plane ride that we met on was the first of many for us. Since then, we’ve visited each other’s homes, we’ve shot couple’s sessions, engagement sessions, and weddings all over the country together, and have gotten to experience the beauty of each coast side by side. Our friendship has been one of the most unique friendships either of us have ever experienced, not only due to the way we met, but also because we’ve been able to help each other grow in our businesses and succeed in our photography careers.
Don’t have a business, but looking to start one?
