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.

Corrie Ann hired me to do “edgy family portraits”… And as much as I love doing edgy photo shoots, I’m not sure how one makes “edgy” family portraits of three people that are completely in love. Some barbed wire, a vacant parking lot, and a rock star with his beautiful wife and “mini-me” son, certainly took the shoot to an edgy urban feel. Add a bar piano in the back alley and voila–we are embracing the dark side of portraiture. But there is no graffiti crass enough—no dumpster dirty enough, and no rock star bad ass enough, that can erase the conspicuous, unconditional love that that these three share. And that is beautiful. Somehow, I don’t think Corrie Ann will be disappointed.
Man, oh man! Isn’t she a knock out?! Lydia is from Minneapolis and came all the way to me to have her senior portraits taken… well, not really all the way just to see me. But she did choose to have me photograph her while she was out visiting, and that, I am honored by! Lydia is a true beauty–and such a sweet girl!! Some girls have it all. Sigh.
Thanks, Lydia! I hope through these pictures, you can take a piece of Denver back home with you to Minneapolis…
There was something super mid-century feeling to Catie and Matt’s wedding—I’m not sure if it was the pool blue bridesmaids dresses that looked straight out of the series “Mad Men”, the vintage truck, or the break we took down on Main street in Golden… but whatever it was, I loved the feel of the day. There was absolutely nothing traditional about Catie and Matt’s wedding albeit the ceremony in a church. They coordinated their own first dance, dressed in “non-tradional” wedding garb including Catie’s fabulous blue shoes, and Matt and the groomen’s stellar khaki suits, and even stopped at a bar for a coors light and a quick shot before making an entrance to their reception. It was a day full of fun and celebration. No need for fireworks in the sky—these two have enough fire to start a real party! Congratulations, you two!!
