welcome to my blog! For those of you just visiting for the first time, welcome!   My name is julie weaver and I am a Southern California based photographer. I have been a professional photographer for the past 10 years and have specialized in weddings and portraits.

Having a family of my own, I understand the importance of capturing those little moments that seem to flash before our eyes....the quirky smiles, the scrunchy noses, the temper tantrums, the interaction that takes place between you and your child....and even those wonderful teenage years...it's priceless and gone before you know it!  I am THAT person who gets to capture those silly and precious moments that you love so much. That's why I absolutely LOVE my job!

Thanks for stopping by!

The day before leaving for WPPI, I had the pleasure of photographing my first wedding of '08. Although we were on "severe weather alert" with all of the torrential rains and hail storms, it did not seem to put a damper on Maria or David's spirits one bit...after all, they were marrying each other. The day that they have been waiting for. Nothing could wipe the beautiful smiles off of their faces! When a day such as this day goes so smoothly and without ANYTHING going wrong, and once you see these detail pictures, it will be evident that there was a wedding coordinator involved with this event! And not just ANY coordinator.....I always love working with Kary Heimbach of kary h events. She is so easy to work with and everyone loves her! She puts 150% of her heart and soul into her job, and it shows! It cannot go without mentioning the great group of vendors who also made this event so beautiful: Video- Jennifer Anne Video Florist- Sonny Alexander Flowers DJ/lighting- Pro Audio DJ & Lighting Make-up- Coutney Corvan Hair- Hair Comes the Bride Transportation- Global Limousines Linens- Elegant Designs Specialty Linens Stationary- Cloud Nine Paper Lounge Furniture- Classic Party Rentals I love this shot. Maria was enjoying having her make-up done while her sisters were stirring about in the background getting dressed! blog_1.jpg blog_3.jpg This little guy had a big role...and he knew it! blog_2.jpg the happy couple! blog_4.jpg Here is the beautiful room at Alta Dena Town and Country Club. It's got such great ambiance. blog_5.jpg There is something so serene and beautiful about this moment. This happened right after Kary brought them into the reception room to take a sneak peek at how beautiful everything looked. They were so overjoyed with the decor, i think David was actually pinching Maria in this shot!!! blog_10.jpg The little details that mean so much: blog_6.jpg blog_7.jpg blog_8.jpg blog_9.jpg

This past weekend, I made a trip down to San Diego to meet my clients, Ryan and Ginni, to do their engagement pictures.  They are getting married this summer up in Sacramento in the area that Ginni grew up in.  Ginni's family owns apple orchards up there and their theme for the wedding kind of centers around this...think BRIGHT colors and having fun in apple orchards with old machinery...Stay tuned!  It's going to be AWESOME!!! Until then, I hope you enjoy the great shots we got. I had so much fun with them, and I can't wait until their wedding! blog_17.jpg blog_11.jpg blog_16.jpg blog_14.jpg Then off to the beach.... blog_12.jpg blog_13.jpg Thanks, Ryan and Ginni!  It was so much fun hanging out with you guys!

O.k...so here is sweet Olivia's sister, Isabelle. She would much rather be hiking trails and hunting lizards than playing barbies...don't you just LOVE that about her? Her eyes are soulful and her sweet demeanor made my shoot go seamless. We had so much fun! Check out the amazing Isabelle! isabelle_2.jpg isabelle_9.jpg here is Isabelle playing with her sister, Olivia isabelle_blog.jpg isabelle_10.jpg isabelle_5a.jpg isabelle_3.jpg isabelle_7.jpg isabelle_19.jpg isabelle_17.jpg isabelle_16.jpg isabelle_15.jpg isabellle_9.jpg isabelle_11.jpg isabelle_13.jpg isabelle_12.jpg isabelle_18.jpg isabelle_14.jpg

Robin:

o.k. where do I start,... these are sooo beautiful. I love the artsy, editorial feel. The lighting around Isabelle's hair and the depth in her dark eyes...craziness. I wish I could show the world how you made my gorgeous daughter even more spectacular …. Maybe I should get t-shirts made.

julie:

thanks, guys! This is why I love my job...when I receive a phone call from someone who is so ecstatic about their pictures that they are moved to tears (happy tears, of course), it fuels me that much more to continue my passion in photography....

Brenda Mazzanti:

Amazing job! You have managed to capture the true spirit in both of the Alison sisters. I know them personally and with Olivia's photo's your able to show "an outsider" her shyness and sweet innocence. With Isabelle most people looking at her would never believe what a "tom boy" she is...but you nailed that too. I am an aspiring photographer and always enjoy viewing others work. Mark told me about your shoot with his girls. I love the color saturation you did on Isabelle's hair...it rocks!
