Julie is Jason's better half. It's true! Just ask him! Seriously though, Red is a very talented artist, and also helps Julie out by lugging her equipment around, I mean, assisting her at photoshoots, graphic design & creative brainstorming, sales & promotion, and much, much more. He has the most gorgeous, deep bass voice & has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music: Vocal Performance, Theory & Composition (minoring in Theater & Secondary Education) from UW Parkside and has sung with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra Chorus, UW Parkside's Master Singers (where we met in 2008), and has written, recorded & copyrighted 2+ albums of original music. He also has the perfect "movie voice" voiceover timbre and can do dozens of impressions & accents for voicemail greetings & radio commercials.

Julie Arnold

Job Titles:
  • Skipper / CEO / Photographer, Art Director
After working my teenage & post-high school years in big-box photography studios & small offices, I received my Associates degree in Graphic Design shortly after 9/11. My career in the publishing field started by designing catalogs for a small wholesale company. I then earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Graphic Design & Multimedia in 2003 and have enjoyed a long career in print design, specializing in catalogs, magazines & advertisements in the Milwaukee area. I built my first website in 1998-a popular roller coaster pictures page- and once I designed my first WordPress site in 2013, I have a renewed love for the medium. I'm happy to now be working with dynamic, interesting clients, and hope to help you with my 25+ years of graphic & web design and photography experience.

Kat Jacobsen

Kat was Julie's graphic design instructor in college. Although they had lost touch over the years, the 2 couples inexplicably got married on the exact same day at historical sister schools in Kenosha & Racine, effectively blocking the other couple from booking the opposite venue, which rebooted their friendship.
