WeTV session “Bridal Session”

admin — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 01:17:34 +0000

I was contacted to see if I would interested in shooting a bridal session for a upcoming TV show on WeTV. I saw the promo and loved the promo, so I agreed. Thought I would throw up a few behind the scene shots taken by my great assistant Rob Nickerson, thanks Rob. There was this moment when the Bride (Hannah) little girl walk up beside me and I asked her if she wanted to take some pictures of mommy. Well, I held the camera, showed her were to press the button and she got a couple of great shots. I think everybody around was wondering why they hired me to take the pictures…Of course anyone using a Nikon can get a great shot!

As you can see, my studio is a bit tight and once I had my lights set the production company added to it and made the space even tighter. Had a great time! A big thanks to my good friend Alberto for jumping in and helping me style the set (Durango Furniture Rocks). Now on with the show…

Wow! I’m Honored…

My good friend Alberto Zambrano owner of The Durango Furniture Store asked me to do him up a little picture for his upcoming holiday promotional sale. We had so much fun doing this card and thought would be fun to share with you.

Merry Christmas!

The Harris Christmas card was a year in the making and instead of throwing the tree in the dump, I threw our Christmas tree in the back yard and to let it age a bit. Keeping a dead tree in the backyard for over a year did not go over well with the wife, sometimes she just doesn’t see my big vision. The tree in the backyard was simple, but convincing her to put on that garb and those rollers as people drove by gawking at us took a little bit more of me selling the big vision. FYI the big vision was to do a card based on two of my favorite Christmas movies and poke a little fun at the economy. Can you guess what are the two movies are?

One day my kids will look at this picture and the memories will come flooding back of what their goofy dad put them thru to get this shot. Creating memories for a lifetime is why photography is the greatest job ever! From my family to yours, have a great and blessed Holiday Season!

Well, just finished designing a save the date card for Kacey & Mike. Very excited about their upcoming ranch wedding. Soon, I will be posting some really fun e-session pics of our day trip down to Austin and New Braunfels.

Outside of my great love for photography is my other great passion is design. I plan to really ramp it up in 2010 and offer brides and other photographers something a bit more designed than what is out there.

Stay tuned to my design site launch coming soon.

Ok, here is something a little different. No bride or Groom, just a cowboy and his horse. Earlier this summer, I did a shoot with this cowboy (Larry Quinn) and others for some spec stuff of a job I was trying to win. I was trying to go for the old Tin Type look. So, I studied up on the old process of tin type photography (ferrotypes) and came to the realization that, I just do not want to mess with all the chemicals right now. I decided to see if I could pull it off in photoshop. The first few pics are black and white. I decided to shoot it on my Hasselblad 120 to start with ( I love real film). Leave me some feedback in the comment section and let me know if you like. Oh yeah, I did get the job. But, they decided they wanted me to shoot landscapes of Utah and Colorado. Those 32 imagesare now hanging in the new Drug Enforcement Agency in Denver Colorado.
