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!

This past weekend I had fun meeting up again with my past wedding clients, Jodi and Eric Bergstedt. But this time, they had a little guy that they brought with them for some great family photos!
I did some newborn pictures of Baby John a while back, and I can't believe how fast he has grown!

I think these pictures rock!

In the middle of the shoot, baby john needed his diaper changed...this next shot is actually how Eric was holding John while Jodi was getting everything ready to change him....i don't think Eric like changing diapers very much!!!!! I love this shot!!!! It's classic!!!

I love the emotion in the next two shots.....

As most of you are aware, Ceremony Magazine is Southern California's premier wedding publication that only chooses a small number of vendors to advertise in their magazine. This is the second year that I will be advertising with them, and have had record breaking years with bookings and I know that along with word of mouth referrals, Ceremony has been instrumental in my successes.

I was chosen this year to shoot their children's portion for their 2008 publication...what an honor for me!!! With great anticipation, and some really adorable models, I shot one of my most amazing shoots with children yesterday!

Kelli Martin from Tantrum Salon did all the hair and Kary Heimbach from kary h events helped to keep us organized and on track!!! Thanks to my awesome team and everyone else who was there to help this go so smoothly!

There are so many that I want to share, but you will have to wait to see which one's they choose for Ceremony's 2008 edition!

>The second set of images had this beautiful vintage 1967 Austin Healey car...my wonderful in-laws, Ron and Ellen, graciously let us use it for one of our props.
Thank you Ron and Ellen!!! These images are unbelievable!
