We investigate when there exists a family of Riemann maps $({\mathbb D},0) \to (U_t,0)$ which depends holomorphically on $t$. We give six equivalent conditions which provide analytic, dynamical and measure-theoretic characterizations for the existence of such family, and explore the consequences. Somewhat curiously, one of these equivalent conditions is the harmonicity of the map $t \mapsto \log \, r_t$, where $r_t$ is the conformal radius of the pointed disk $(U_t,0)$.
