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!
Oh my goodness, so much fun!!! Three families got together and put a party on for their 1 year-old boys, Jones, Silas and Sadler. And it was a RIOT! I had such a great time photographing this event in a documentary style. The babes all had such strong personalities and it cracked me up that they technically had no idea what was going on. A first birthday party is so much more for the parents than it is for the little guys, but it’s certainly a celebration to be had, none the less. Enjoy glimpses of these guys quirky little personalities….and of course their reactions to their first cupcake.
After a couple of margaritas a couple of Sundays ago, I had a realization that I am missing out on documenting my own life because I’m documenting everybody else’s…. To be completely honest, I am usually just too beat and burned out to bring my camera to every function and document my life. Especially when people are expecting it. But if I could make images like these below, with no expectation, no demand, and no pressure—just for me, I would do it all the time. And I think I will.
As a lot of you know, my husband is in a band, Jesse Daniel and the Reckoning. Jesse grew up in Lyons and the band played a benefit in Lyons a couple of weeks ago for a girl he grew up with whose house burned down. Despite the unfortunate event with the fire, the event was marvelous. It was a great day to be in Lyons listening to live music—hot like hell, but a good crowd, cold beer, no expectations .
Also, if any of you are interested in following Jesse Daniel and the Reckoning, please friend them on facebook, Also come check them out on Thursday night at 9pm. They will be playing the Hi-Dive on Broadway. I’ll be there drinking many beers, as I don’t have a wedding on Friday!
I had the pleasure and honor of photographing this fantastic, up and coming Denver band, Jesse Daniel and the Reckoning…. This is just the first shoot of I hope many, for their upcoming promo packets and releases.
