Photography Blog | The Life and Times of Julie Harris Photo Blog | Photography Blogs. Welcome! This is where I show my work and write about what stirs me. Mary Ellen Mark says, "Reality is always extraordinary". I live by this. I'm a documentary photographer with a thirst for love, life and truth... a true bohemian at heart. In an industry saturated with trendy processing techniques and emphasis on style instead of substance, I strive to make honest images that are full of emotion and reality.

I only wish that I would have had somebody photograph me before I was married and while I was living alone in my cute little apartment in the Baker district. That’s kind of what led me to do this shoot of Carrie. Carrie is my esthetician and seriously the best waxer in Denver!! (Call her at Crave Salon if you’re ever in need)! We had talked for awhile about doing some shots of her and her dogs. At first we were thinking something with the fall colors outdoors somewhere, but her dogs aren’t really the outdoorsy type, so we thought about just photographingher on some trail outdoors and hiking—or something like that. But then it dawned on me a couple weeks ago as I was reminiscing about my days as a single gal, that I thought there couldn’t be a more powerful way to photograph Carrie than at her home with her little guys, Monte and Bacon.
Why do we wait for some monumental moment to document our lives? — Chirstmas cards, Engagement photos, weddings, anniversaries, first birthdays, etc, etc? And more importantly, who says that being single and fabulous isn’t a monumental moment in life??
It’s so hillarious—This frog is Bacon’s baby! He carries it around with him wherever he goes. And what’s even funnier is that he grabs it out of his own little box of toys and leaves all the others….
Introducing Bacon and Monte. (Monte is the darker one).
Technically, Carrie has two roomates who do everything with her….
You may recognize Robin and Russ from my website, but I doubt any of you have ever met little Grayson! Here he is! One year old, and all grown up! Robin and I have a tradition of shooting everything at The Botanic Gardens, so we didn’t stray for the first shoot of Grayson. The light was gorgeous, the plants obviously marvelous, but it was Grayson that stole the show!
Oh my gosh, is this not the cutest photo of a father and son? The perspective is insane!
Awww, the toils of learning to walk….
After photographing Mike and Renee’s engagement photos in Larimer Square last Saturday, I had to walk back to my car which was parked at Commons Park. Mike, Renee and I had walked around downtown Denver for what seemed like 20 minutes of just waiting for the city lights to come on…. They finally did in Larimer Square, but as you will see below, the big union station sign never illuminated… None the less, I was in such a good mood after leaving Mike and Rene that I didn’t want to be done shooting. I shot all the way back to my car seriously smiling and humming, thanking God that I live in such a beautiful city. I am so happy here. I absolutely love Denver and will never leave…








Julie, You picked the best dog to photograph. Pugs have got to be the biggest camera hounds there ever was. I have a goof friend with to pugs, and evey time I go over I leave with some funny photos of them. Miles
