Refractographs

I worked on refractographs the past few nights.  It's the process of bending and painting with nothing more than a pinhole of light and different objects to refract the light.  I used a stemless wine glass to create these two and a few gels for color.

Fall color sessions + Redmond Portrait Photographer

I have gorgeous fall colors on my property and have decided to offer four fall sessions right here.  In addition to the beautiful color, you will have privacy that you don't always have in a local park.  If you are interested in scheduling a session, please contact me here.

Evening Fog | Bellevue Portrait Photographer

I was so lucky to take some time off and go into the nearby Snoqualmie valley and take some images during the recent week of heavy fog.  As a local Bellevue portrait photographer, it's a refreshing rejuvenation of creativity that only transcends into my work with my portrait clients.  

If you are interested in booking your portrait session, please contact me here.

Zack's video made the viral rounds a while back, but every now and then, on the dark, gloomy days I think about it... Failure is just NOT an option and I'm inspired to persevere.

BIG NEWS coming soon!

I'm launching a new business, in addition to my photography business. Watch for the launch, which will happen on facebook, twitter, e-mail blasts and right here on my blog.

My photography business is still going strong though--photography is why I wake up in the morning. It's my passion and what I LOVE!

I've had so many requests for the new business you'll be hearing about soon and I've been quite busy getting ready to launch and go live. I really have my family, friends and clients to thank for their support and encouragement. This has been years in the making and it's time to make a go of it, so stay tuned... I'm excited!

And for my loyal blog follwers--a sneak peak! Checkout: http://juliabrownphotography.com/Training.aspx

Update--What's been happening...

For those who follow my blog, you may have noticed that I've been MIA (missing in action) for about a month. This is because I've been busy with the "business" of photography. Yes, the "business" side of things certainly does nothing for my "creative" side, (I've missed my picture making,) but a successful photography business requires attention away from the creative side and winter is a good time to learn new techniques and software, check out the new photo labs and products to enhance my business, get taxes prepared and so this is what I've been doing lately.

I recently attended a photography seminar, which proved to be enlightening. I had no idea there would be so many professional photographers in our area, enough to fill a room of 450 of us!

With Spring upon us, you should be seeing some fresh new photos. I've been learning new software, which will enhance your photos based on my own style (every photographer has a style--ya' know :-)

The beauty of this business are the people I meet and the images I create, both for my clients and my personal projects, as well as the learning and growing as a photographer--finding my style and my voice as a photographer has been challenging at times, but also very rewarding. I wouldn't change a thing.

Looking forward a great spring and summer ahead!
