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.

Meet the Nekritz family—Ed, Wendy, Jessica and Matthew. What a bunch of strong personalities! There would be no “faking” it from them, which was quite refreshing, actually. I walked away from the shoot feeling like I had actually captured their true spirits—especially the kids. All I had to do to get some shots from Jessica, was to ask her to recite Shakespeare (she’s quite the actress). I think she completely forgot that she was getting her photo taken, and went right into character. As for Matthew, I knew from the moment that I saw him, that he is a fun loving, silly little guy. I simply had Wendy stand behind me while I was taking his photo, and crack a few jokes to get these smiles. Although I have to say, my very favorite shot of the day is of Matthew dead on and stoic. His eyes are amazing….
Chelsy and Phil tied the knot last Saturday at the Chateaux at Fox meadows. It was a hot, summer solstice ceremony with all the bells and whistles. Chelsy hired me to do this wedding back in 2006 so I’ve gotten to know these two a bit. Chelsy hates PDA–Public displays of affection, so it was quite humorous taking their engagement photos, and their wedding day couple photos! What do you do? Phil, on the other hand took things into his own hands and got some canoodling out of her! It was a riot—but they look like they’re having fun, and very much in love in all these shots, don’t they? And they clearly had a blast at their recception.
Congratulations, you two! You won’t have to kiss in front of me until your maternity photos! Hee hee!
Chelsy has the most gorgeous blue eyes—they are luminous and glow from across a room—she is also blessed with amazing lashes. She told me that she can’t curl her eyelashes, or she’ll get mascara in her eyebrows…. ahhhh poor girl!
Phil is a man in love. Look at the expression on his face when he first saw Chelsy step out of the manor—priceless!
The Chateaux at Fox meadows doesn’t have a lot of “nature” around it, so outdoor shots can be hard. There is a fountain out front and a couple in the back, but for the most part, the place is surrounded by subdivisions and a parking lot. I actually kind of liked this—not sure why! But I love this shot, with the homes in the background—it just feel so honest and journalistic.
I think this shot is sexy.
Chelsy loved her flowers… they were one of the most important things to her about the day.
