welcome. Thanks for stopping by!  This is my brand-new, totally amazing blog.  I am pumped to be able to share my voice and my photography with the whole wide world.  My name is Julie Wilhite and I am a portrait/wedding photographer based out of Houston, TX.  That's right, I'm a Texan...and I promise I don't ride a horse to work everyday.  Feel free to take a look around, maybe even drop me a note.  Would love to hear from you!

I don't get the opportunity to watch a lot of movies or TV. Yesterday, in Houston, TX, it snowed. I know, your jaw just dropped on the ground. It's barely December! Anyway, this gave me the opportunity to be a little lazy around the house. In between working on my Africa pictures, I turned on a documentary my friend has been raving about, Food Inc. I always knew our food was made in far away farms and that our meat was produced in mass amounts, but I still wasn't prepared to see it first hand. I promise this is not a political post, but I encourage you to watch this film. To be knowledgeable about where our food comes from. I promise, it will make your jaw drop more than once.

Here is a link to watch it online for free:

Anyone want to join me at the farmer's market this morning??

Sigh. I departed the plane back in the States a couple of days ago...against my will. Just kidding. We had such a good time in South Africa - tons of animals, good wine, excellent company and over a thousand pictures for me to look through. I promise to post more pictures as I continue to go through them and pick out my favorites. I will also be working hard to get back on track with my emails, so if there is a delay in my response time, know that I am getting there!

For now, here is a sneak peek at an animal shot. We all went crazy when these gorgeous zebras were nearby. Their stripes are like our fingerprints, one is never the same.

Oh, did I also mention that African sunsets set your soul on fire?  Here was one while we were on safari...

Oh, I made it. FINALLY. I have been working so hard the past few months, all with this day in my mind. Chris and I are flying off to a far away place and never coming back. Whoops! Did I say that out loud?  I KID. We will be back before you guys know it.  ;)

I will have no access to email or phone. If you need me for any reason, I promise to respond as soon as we return.  I will be back to work on Wednesday, December 2nd.

And for a little visual temptation.  I will be sitting in this bar on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, enjoying tempting sundowners (alcoholic beverages enjoyed while the sun sets).  Sigh... heaven!

I just finished a marathon of images. Seriously. I have NEVER worked so hard to get a wedding done and wrapped up in a matter of DAYS.  Funny what a trip to Africa will inspire you to do. Now, let's see if my husband remembers who I am... We are leaving on Wednesday and I will be out of the office for two weeks!!  I wanted to make sure that Devin and Jeremy didn't have to wait that long to receive their images.  :)

Devin and Jeremy's wedding reminded me of what a wedding is all about.  A small group of family and friends came together to celebrate them.  There was a fabulous vineyard, sunset chasing, jump roping virtual-style, group singing and a congo line.  Who can argue with that fun?

FABULOUS PHOTOGRAPHS! I was not able to attend my cousin's wedding, but these images tell the love story that has unfolded between Jeremy and Devin. Really great work in tone, texture and timing. Thanks for letting me become a part of the celebration.

Have you ever heard of Jesh du Rox? Or read his blog? He's a brilliant photographer who is known for his life-changing workshops and his kick a** photoshop actions. I have never been to one of his workshops, but it could be future goal of mine...

I love to read his blog for inspiration. I see his work as emotional, slightly moody and a true form of art. He is also a beautiful writer, writing things that sometimes bring me to tears - for their truthfulness, rawness and they always cause me to pause and think. Yesterday, I read a blogpost he wrote recently and I wanted to share it with you.

Little inspiration for Monday morning...
