 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 was so honored to be a part of this most amazing day for weddings...lucky 7.7.07.
I truly felt lucky that I photographed this day for Renate and Pat. Their love for each other is clearly evident, and the excitement I saw in their children's eyes was priceless.

This is what I saw through my eyes:

This little cutie didn't know how she was going to make it down the aisle holding the ring bearer's hand, the basket, AND toss petals at the same time!!!

Lyric, Noelle, & Dean
06.21.07

As I was sitting at my office computer yesterday,waiting for my next photo shoot, I looked out my window to see a beautiful little girl full of curls bouncing up my long walkway with her gorgeous mom to meet me for their long awaited photo shoot with her two equally beautiful cousins.

Meet Lyric... A playful little girl who loves her cousins and has a very spunky and fun attitude, all at the big age of 2!

Canon Mark III
06.01.07

Today I received something VERY exciting from my UPS man....my brand-spankin-new MARK III!!!!
I can't wait to run out and use this beauty!

Photos to come...
can you believe this things can shoot off 10 frames per second?
That is crazy fast!!!
I have to say that our decision to change over to Canon this year was one of the best
decisions we've made.
I purchased the 30D at WPPI with a few new lenses, and have been PATIENTLY waiting for this
beauty to come along. Now I am fully equipped with all my necessary lenses and the best camera on the market!!!
Expensive switching over, YES...but I absolutely LOVE the functionality of it, and LOVE the LCD screen...
LOVE how fast it is...LOVE the color I get from it...need I say more?
The Mark III (I will refer to him as Mark, my new love!) is sweeeeet!

More to come....

amanda:

how did you get the camera so fast? I didn't think they were available yet?

 (06.02.07)
julie:

Hi Amanda...sometimes it's not WHAT you know, it's WHO you know!!!
This camera is so crazy!

 (06.03.07)
amanda:

just curious about one more thing. Why the switch from to Canon?

 (06.04.07)
julie:

To be honest, I went to WPPI with the intention to upgrade all of my Nikon bodies and the folks at Nikon were extremely rude and really ticked me off!
So already interested in Canon, I went over to their booth and fell in love with what they had. I love the big LCD screen on the Mark III and really just like the functionality of it as a whole. It was worth the wait.
I have to say that both cameras are very good, but having used both of them, I am definitely a Canon fan.
Nikon has to step it up to compare to the Mark III.
Game on!!!

 (06.04.07)
Jeanette:

Congratulations! Can't wait to see a post of what Mark can do!

 (06.08.07)
Shannon Lott:

Hey, did you see the photos David Jay has been taking with his new Mark III? Sleeping together on his pillow. Hysterical! I'm glad to see you haven't done that yet!

Photography Group
05.16.07
Just had a thought and wanted to see how many fellow photographers would be interested in a monthly group gathering to discuss industry topics, business, and ways to stay inspired in our little (BIG) world of photography. I know a lot of you who juggle a lot in your lives as well as try to have a successful business, and sometimes you just need to know that there are other people like you trying to wear all of the same hats at the same time...I know I struggle with that a lot!!! So if any of you are interested in getting some inspiration, I would be more than happy to host a monthly group for a night of insight and networking! I know that it has helped my business tremendously, so I thought I would see what kind of response I might get. I live in Claremont, so please let me know (leave me a comment or email me) if you are interested!!! Happy Wednesday!!! Julie

Of course I would attend...and help you host! Count this Chino Hills photographer in. I prefer Tuesday or Thursday evenings if it has to be during the week!

robert:

Not sure if you're still up for this ; if so I'd be interested and I know at least one other wedding photographer that would be interested as well ...

 (06.04.07)
Jeanette:

Hi Julie, we have not met but I am Nicole's friend and I just came across this blog about getting together to network...and I would love to be included.
Thanks!
