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 know I’m supposed to keep these things vaulted, but Nola is my favorite girl name in the world…. I guess I’m going to have to change that now, not because I can’t have a child with the same name as somebody else, but because little Nola Greenwald is so gorgeous and perfect that my poor little girl would have a lot to live up to! And of course she is beautiful—look at Ashley and Matt! Let me also mention that Nola is the sweetest thing, too? She coos and smiles and reaches out her little hand to be held. I’m sure that as with any baby, there are times that aren’t as easy others, but Nola put on a good show for me and appeared to be an angel. Congratulations, Ashley and Matt!
I don’t know if I was ashamed or if my feelings were hurt when Caleb of Kings of Leon said tonight, “I don’t know if we would still be a band if it weren’t for this part of the world (this part being the UK). Americans will probably one day come around and most likely say, “yeah, I liked them all along”. It was mockery but it was true. Where is the American love for Kings of Leon? I swore I wouldn’t blog while I was here in Ireland, but I couldn’t contain my excitement after this rockin’ concert. Jesse surprised me with a trip to Ireland for 10 days (I know, life is rough) and then surprised me again while we were here with tickets to see Kings of Leon. What a man! He has gone above and beyond to give me the “down time” of my life!
We got to see the Kings of Leon at the O2; a music venue in Dublin that seriously just opened last Friday! Kings of Leon was the first band to officially play the venue…. and I have to brag just a bit more; Caleb (the lead singer) also said, that although this was the hardest touring season of their career, that this was their best performance yet! And I was there! The photograph isn’t the best, I know but it’s from an i-phone…
If you aren’t familiar with the Kings of Leon ,then shame on you! Check them out! My personal favorite song is “Holy Roller, Novocaine” or “Arizona”, or “Charmer”…. or, well—you get the point! I love the Kings of Leon!

Ashley and Nate have been amazing—are amazing! I can’t believe how patient they have been with me in terms of this wedding turn around. Nate sent me an email while I was in Paris and told me to “not to worry about editing their wedding and to enjoy my vacation.” I did just that, and am just now getting to blogging their wedding day—which was absolutely stunning, by the way!
It was a photographers dream—fog, autumn colors, deer, and an art deco theme! I also couldn’t have had more fun with a wedding party. The last images posted here are my favorites. Photographing this crowd was cake. They were hams! I didn’t have to do a thing–they simply played and I stayed back and documented.
Thank you, Ashley and Nate, for being such a super cool couple! From the engagement photos to the sparkler departure, I was thrilled to be working with you! What a great end to a wedding season….
