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!

I am so excited to announce my first ever casting call for children between the ages of 4-8.  As some of you may know, I am part of an amazing photography workshop called "Get tha Funk Out" in which we (4 fab & funky photogs) are holding (check out our site here).  In this workshop, we are holding a live photo shoot for our attendees.  We are recruiting young children, high school seniors, a family, and an engaged couple.  I am in charge of recruiting the darling children! wyatt-47 I KNOW there will be so many cuties to choose from, but here are some general characteristics I am looking for:
  • outgoing
  • loves attention (aka being in front of the camera)
  • be able to last about an hour for the shoot
  • able to travel with mom and/or dad down to Newport Beach on Saturday, September 12 by 5pm
  • ok with being photographed by 5 photogs simultaneously (a little paparazzi-ish, i guess)
Here's what the parents get:
  • High res digital files of their darling child
  • Free photo shoot with some amazing and REALLY fun photographers!
  • 30% off any products ordered.
If you think your little cutie has what it takes, please feel free to leave a comment with your email, or you can email me at julie@julieweaverphotography.com I will be considering 2-3 children for this live shoot. Thanks!  Have a great weekend!

Julie,
I am Kim Williams (Tatman's) sister-in-law. She told me about your recruiting little ones and wanted me to offer up my 3 and 5 year old. They are beautiful little hams, just like Aunt Kim. Charlie is a 3 yr. old brown hair, blue eyed girl and Trevor is 5 with the same coloring. Kim or I can send you photos if you are still looking. Have a great day!

Everytime I think about how great our Get tha Funk Out workshop is going to be, it literally puts a great big smile on my face and am humbled by the fact that we are almost completely booked for this event.  We have such an amazing group attending! Anyway, Last week the National Association of Professional Child Photographers (NAPCP) contacted us.  They had heard some really great buzz about our upcoming workshop and wanted to add us to their list of upcoming workshops.  OMG...really?  Heck yeah!!!!  When we got this list and saw our names on it…we were smitten,  to say the least!  I think if we had  all been together at that moment we heard the news, would've held hands and jumped up and down like school girls!  We are so honored to be added to this highly coveted list of professional photographers  such as   Barb Uil, Lena Hyde, Brianna Graham, Audrey Woolard, JB Sallee, and Amy Wenzel .      For those of you non-photographers….these names are HUGE!    These are like the biggest names in children’s photography and we are on a list WITH them!  WE have arrived!!! So as I continue my day with a BIG huge smile on my face, I want you to remember that dreams really do come true.  Work hard and be motivated! napcplist.png

Are you a Junior graduating in the Class of 2010? Want to have some amazing photos of you? Ones that say WHO you are instead of a contrived, posed picture? Want to make some extra cash? LOOK NO FURTHER!!! I am currently recruiting 2-4 High School Juniors from various schools who would be interested in being a Senior Spokesmodel for me. Each Senior Spokesmodel will receive the following:
  • Two free sittings  at a location of your choice (one sitting now and one in the fall)
  • A 5×5 book to show off their photos
  • and  handful of rep cards.
Lots more perks to being a Senior Spokesmodel, so please shoot me an email if you think that this is for you! Send me an email if you are interested and I will get you an application right away! blog4 blog3 blog5 blog6 blog7

I'm seriously bummed! I have been waiting for this workshop for a very very long time. My due date is 9/19 though. If the baby comes before that and I register for this, I'm out of luck!?

Looks like so much fun!
