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. Please visit and comment often!
It’s been almost a year since my scandalous “Naked in Denver” post… and to be honest, I’ve been too scared to post any boudoir/nudes since. It’s not that I’m afraid that I will be reprimanded or that I’ll anger a grumpy old relative of a client, I’ve actually been more worried about the fact that a lot of my blog followers are opening my site at work, and might be horribly embarrassed when, surprise!–there is a naked women up on their screen–maybe for others to see as well. And if that’s the case, then my apologies to you (and your co-workers!) for any awkward moments. However, I’m over it–I can’t please everybody. This is my blog. My work. Done and Done. Nothing else to say here. But really, folks—there’s nothing here that should be “hidden.” At least I don’t think so. Enjoy!
Street photography is my passion of passions. Who needs facebook when one can be a voyeur on the streets? It’s the human condition that I love most about photography. The quirks, the styles, the emotions… I love to observe and capture it all. But what moves me more than anything is the fact that as humans we all share the same planet, breathe the same air and are all mortal. I guess it’s a mix of empathy and curiosity that drives me to photograph the human condition.
I had the most amazing trip out to Dallas/Fort Worth to take some engagement photos of Libby and Brent whose wedding will be in August. The icing on the cake, was that my mom came along with me and we visited my brother who, at the time was working out in Fort Worth. I treasure our last day there together, when we went to Granbury, Tx to visit my grandparents graves…
Janis and Matt had a very spiritual, winter wedding in Boulder last month, and I was lucky enough to be the photographer. Janis and Matt are two people who radiate love and compassion and make everybody feel at ease around them. They are completely authentic and I fell in love with them at the first email they sent me inquiring about my services. They also laugh at all my jokes…
I was very pleased with the images from this wedding—there was such a reverence for the sacredness of this day among Matt and Janis and their loved ones, and I hope it shows in the photos. I think it does.
Congratulations, Janis and Matt—it was an honor!
