\"\"<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been doing a bit of blog<\/b> stalking lately, and have noticed that there are certain \u201cit\u201d things to do in order to be a photographer who gets a lot of \u201cblog<\/b> love\u201d. Apparently, it\u2019s really hot to post images of yourself all over every other post. Or to simply create posts about oneself in general.<\/p>\n

My blog<\/b> traffic has seemed slow and my comments are tragic. So I thought I\u2019d bite the dust and keep up with the industry standards.<\/p>\n

If you leave a comment and inflate my ego, maybe I\u2019ll lead a workshop! And by the way, I\u2019m now selling Julie<\/b> Harris<\/b> Photography<\/b> mouse pads, earmuffs, koozies, t-shirts and Christmas mugs with my face and\/or logo on them, if you\u2019re interested\u2026.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

These aren\u2019t actually my earmuffs but are a product from my friend\u2019s nail salon, Tootsies<\/a>. However, I did do all of their promotional photos. I\u2019d link to my blog<\/b> so you can see them in all their glory, but wouldn\u2019t you rather look at me??<\/p>\n

I so<\/em> rock and roll! I might patent this \u201csign\u201d as the official \u201cJulie<\/b> Harris<\/b> Photography<\/b>\u201d gang sign.<\/p>\n


\n<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

But of course I wouldn\u2019t support gang signery\u2026. I am all about sharing the love and peace, yo! (and if you sign up for one of my upcoming seminars, I\u2019ll also share my secrets).<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I have to say that I don\u2019t do all this alone\u2026. there is the man behind the woman in this grand enterprise. Meet Jesse Chatham<\/a> ( my husband) of photographik<\/a>. photographik is the industry\u2019s standard when it comes to \u201celite\u201d wedding and portrait directories<\/a>. It\u2019s pretty much the coolest thing since, Vanilla Silk Soymilk<\/a>.<\/p>\n
