The Montessori School of Dresher, PA -- TMS educates children using the Montessori method—a multi-sensory curriculum that allows for individualized teaching for students to learn and be challenged at their own pace as they develop academically. The Montessori method fosters self-confidence, leadership, and respect for self and others. TMS fosters the development of self-motivated, intellectually engaged learners who will serve their larger communities as both accomplished students and ambassadors of peace. All of my children have gone through The Montessori School--it's one of the best choices my husband and I have made for them as parents.
Julia Lehman Photography -- Julia’s unique ability to consistently portray stunning images full of energy and emotion lies in her unusually intuitive ability to engage people on a surprisingly deep level. She has been titled by many of her clients as the "intuitive documentary photographer & artist". During portrait sessions, Julia creates a safe and comfortable atmosphere that allows people to relax and enjoy themselves. In this spirit, her images capture the genuine nature of each individual.
Julia especially enjoys working with children, growing families, conscious businesses and spiritual entrepreneurs. Her mission is to inspire, motivate, and illuminate the beauty of any subject she has the pleasure of photographing.
More than a photographer, Julia is also an artist and a humanitarian. Her ability to dive below the surface level of her subjects' personalities arises from her lifelong passion to give back to her community through healing arts. Camera in hand, Julia has contributed her talents to dozens of charitable initiatives, including “Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep” bereavement photography organization, ongoing projects with Comcast's Accessibility Lab for the hearing and visually impaired, and many others. Julia has also served historically-neglected populations, including the mentally ill and disabled and abused animals.
Julia is devoted to highlighting the beauty and strength of the human spirit.
