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.

Man, oh man, do I love the Holt’s–they are one of my favorite “regulars”. I love their mid-century, ranch style home, their laid back way of life, their incredible sense of style, and of course I love these kiddos! And there is a new addition to the Holt’s since I worked with them last. Meet Amalia–or “Molly” as they call her. Oh my goodness, I could just eat her up. She’s just as bubbly and full of life as her big brother, Merrick, and she’s only 4.5 months old–I can’t wait to see her little spirit in a year… What a treat it is to have such amazing clients.
I got to spend some time with the Daley’s and their sweet little baby, Levi last Saturday morning. It was rainy and cold and the perfect day for two new parents to settle in with their newborn, cup of coffee and good music. Because I’m pregnant with my first, I’m starting to really enjoy these shoots and empathize with families in a new way. I dream about how I want Jesse and I photographed with the little one when she arrives and I think a documentary approach is so sweet at this stage–especially since there is no real control over the babies emotions or reactions to me being there. I loved how quite and intimate this shoot felt. Amy and Matt are adjusting incredibly and are so in love with little Levi that they hardly noticed I was there, which is exactly the way I like to shoot.
Christina and Kenny’s wedding was right up my alley and simply wonderful. They were married at Christina’s parent’s home in Winter Park amongst family and one sweet dog named Nina. Christina and Kenny choose to get married on her parent’s anniversary as well which was such a lovely tribute. The entire celebration was exactly what a wedding should be about–a beautiful, heartfelt ceremony, and an amazing dinner with dear ones. There was love and lots of fun and laughter. It was perfect.
Christina’s grandfather sang two songs to Christina and Kenny during the ceremony and totally grabbed my heart. I cried through both songs… so incredible.
Christina and Kenny had mini cakes made for each person at the wedding including some gluten free ones for those who needed them. It was the best wedding cake I’ve ever had… seriously.
I like it so much! Every pic has a great unique moment :)

(10.24.2011)You are truly an artist! Love your composition the most, but your colors and shallow apertures are the best I've seen. :)
(10.30.2011)Great photos. I really like how you selectively used color throughout them. The wide shot of the family on the floor is my favorite. really draws me into the scene.
