I know I mentioned in last week’s post about changing my blog name that the focus of my blog will be on travel instead of Philadelphia, but I can’t resist posting these photos of snowy winter in Philadelphia! 🙂 If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve probably seen my Insagram stories filled with photos of […]

To kick off the new year and celebrate my second blogiversary, I’ve changed my blog’s name from Philly with a Fjallraven to Through Julia’s Lens! 🙂 I’ve been thinking about changing the name for a while now and brainstormed for the past few months to come up with the perfect name. So why the change? […]

Last year I did a Holiday Gift Guide for the Photographer with some of my favorite products (including a camera lens coffee thermos!), so I thought I would do a holiday gift guide for the traveler this year! 🙂 I have done a post on 10 Essential Travel Accessories with some handy travel products like packing […]

Want to know the best time to see Philadelphia’s famous Boathouse Row? At sunrise in the fall a few days before Daylight Savings Time. It’s a very specific time and date and very early in the morning, but it’s worth it! And I am going to show you why 🙂 The best place to see […]

You can view all posts from my trip to Italy here.  I’ve said before that one of my favorite things I did in Italy was take tours of different cities, like our rowing tour in Venice and our driving tour of Tuscany, and the boat tour of Capri was probably my favorite! We got to […]

You can view the first installments of my trip to Mexico on my San Luis Potosí, Mexico Part 1 and Part 2 posts and Old City Part 1 This is the last post of photos from my trip to Mexico, but I’ll have some other travel posts about Mexico coming up soon! If you haven’t read my […]

I FINALLY have photos from my trip to Mexico to share with you all! I got back right before Thanksgiving and the holidays were hectic with traveling and my many Christmas posts, but I’ve finally finished sorting through all the photos from my trip. If you missed my post when I announced my trip to […]

Happy New Year! 🙂 I can’t believe I started my blog a year ago! 2016 really flew by, and I’m looking forward to what 2017 will bring (I’ll have some exciting news to announce soon!). So since I’ve been blogging for a whole year now, I thought I would put a post together with everything […]

I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving 🙂  Annika and I definitely ate more than our fill! I always wait to get in the mood for Christmas after Thanksgiving is over (though I tend to start Christmas shopping in August… I’m an early bird), so I thought I would do a photography gift guide now […]

In last week’s post about Intercourse, PA (yep, there really is a town called Intercourse), I talked about how Matt and I took a day trip out to Amish country because we’ve been wanting to go ever since I moved to Philadelphia. I absolutely loved going there, and I want to go back when everything […]

I’ve been wanting to visit the Lancaster area since I moved to Philadelphia a year ago because I love traveling around the area, and Matt and I had a free weekend last week so we […]
