Julie Harmsen Photography bio picture
  • Welcome to the blog. Here you will find my latest photographs and musings. I'm a mid-west girl who now calls Seattle home. People intrigue me and I enjoy discovering the uniqueness of life stories and how we're all intertwined. As a photographer, my goal is to tell and experience the most beautiful narratives and relish in the most magical moments in life. I approach a photo shoot with an adventurous spirit and an open heart in hopes of creating something incredible together. Have a look around and I'd love to hear from you! julie

Lachlan hangs out… Seattle family photographer

Big Island family photographer

In January, while in Hawaii, one of our favorite families happened to be staying there as well in their vacation home.  They were enjoying the holiday with family and it worked out perfectly to create some fun family photos just before the sunset.  Having a few ideas themselves, we captured a group pool jump at sunset!  It’s photo shoots like this that leave me feeling more energetic and inspired.  The love and playful spirit they share with each other is contagious.

My good friend Jason wrote and produced the music for a segment of This American Life Live. You can get tickets to the May 10 broadcast here.
