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.

One would never know it was a dreary, rainy Sunday afternoon, by the sunshine radiating from these two cuties! Tiffany and Ike are so happy in love, that I forgot all about the clouds…. They made the shoot really fun, because they have so much fun together—they are a perfect pair! I’m looking forward to their upcoming wedding in July—I love being witness to two people “twitterpated”…
Love the purple shoes!!!
This is Tiffany and Ike’s interpretation of “surprised”….hee hee
This image is mostly about the yellow swirl that is in the foreground of the picture. We were walking back to our cars, when Ike spotted the swirl and asked if we could take a photo with it. Apparently, Tiffany and Ike’s entire wedding theme is based around the swirl, which in New Zealand represents that of a fern unfurling —symbolizing new birth, growth and new beginnings. I love it! And I love the way Tiffany and Ike seem to be meditating on these things as I’m taking the photo….
Man, oh man, did I have fun with David and Eleni! There is something so classic about these two—something timeless… I can’t put my finger on it, but their love is like that of an old romantic love story. And they both have so much to work with—by this, I mean great expressions. They can be both totally edgy, and totally warm and fuzzy. I really had fun exploring different situations with them. And I also have to say that they might be one of my favorite couples ever because they actually laughed at my jokes (which, I know aren’t that funny)!
I had to sneak this picture in, because it cracks me up. I asked Eleni and David to make a really mean face at the camera—a “crusty”, if you will. This is what they threw my way—flared nostrils and a stare. I almost died laughing, because they couldn’t be “crusty” if they tried. Clearly!
This is more like them….
This is a shot of Georgetown from the top of an overlook—will you look at all that color?
Another wonderful collection of stunning images.
