Welcome to Julia Lexx's Marvelously Magical Photography Adventure at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure in sunny Florida!Hello, my name is Julia Lexx. I'm a professional photographer and a wizard :) Well, as much as I would love to call myself a real wizard, I've been a wizard of photography for the last 10 years and am the biggest fan of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. While I might not be able to summon a Patronus or take flight on a Nimbus 2000, my camera and I have the magical prowess to make your memories last a lifetime.
Before we dive into the heart of our photo session tips at Universal Orlando, I'd love to share a bit more about my journey.
Picture this: a wide-eyed 5-year-old mesmerized by the cinematic magic of "Jurassic Park." While I might not recall every detail of that day, one image left an indelible mark on my young mind—a vast, bright blue globe spinning before my eyes, followed by videos of creatures I’ve never seen before. Shock visuals went straight to core memories. It sparked a curiosity in me, not just about these prehistoric creatures, but it also kindled a deep-seated love for the storytelling and imagination behind Universal Studios' films. That awe I felt as a child returns every time I see the iconic globe at Universal Orlando Park.Being a part of the Universal experience has been an immense privilege and joy, offering me a unique lens through which to view and capture the world.
