One more!

I am painfully behind on blogging. PAINFULLY. My to-blog list is longer than my to-edit list right now! I will catch up I promise. In the meantime, I am working on this fabulous engagement session tonight. Enjoy this sexy sneak peek!!!

oooh vintage!

more from this super cool engagement shoot coming in a bit….

Thank you!!

Thanks to everyone who came out to the open house – it was so much fun that I have a feeling it will be the first of many. I can’t wait to do it again!! Special thanks to Emily from http://www.cheekadee.com and Natalie from http://www.hair-bynatalie.com for not only making me look fabulous for the event but also doing complimentary mini-makeovers for everyone that stopped by! The makeovers by these super talented ladies were a HUGE hit! And of course a very special thanks to Josh Lynn from http://njphotobooths.com/ for the super fun photobooth! Here are just a few of my faves from the night. Good times! So good to see everyone!

Lauren and Snap!

Anyone who knows me knows that I love horses and have had a huge soft spot in my heart for all things equestrian since I was a little lady. I love the leather and the creaking of the saddle and riding boots and brushing and even … yes… the horse smell. I still remember the very first time I ever got in the saddle, I was about 7 years old, and it is one of my most vivid childhood memories. I used to volunteer at a stable back when i was 16 or so, I remember how much I loved just being around them. Nowadays, I really only get to be around horses once or twice a year. This was one of those days and it was just perfect.

Here are a few of my favorite photos of Lauren, rockin’ her dress with her horse, Snap. Lauren is currently in law school and has been super busy, and I know a thing or two about being super busy, so we both enjoyed a really relaxing and fun shoot on this warm November afternoon. Snap has been at this barn for 5 years so it was great to record and preserve some of her favorite spots and her buddies at the farm!

Studio Shoots!

Just wanted to share a couple photos from studio shoots from this past week!

Kamila and Michael – Central Park NYC Engagement

I literally thought someone was messing with me when I received an inquiry for a 2010 wedding from a bride named Kamila. I have never met anyone with my name so it was really cool to meet Kamila and Michael and their adorable yorkie Zoey – seriously the smallest and cutest dog on the planet! We had an instant connection, being Polish and all, haha, and I am excited about their upcoming wedding at Seasons in NJ. We met up in Central Park yesterday and had a great time finding cool spots.

Here are a couple quick “teasers” from the session!

Maryann and Cas – Grand Central Station NYC Engagement

Maryann and Cas were home from Indiana a few weekends ago so we took the opportunity to meet up in NYC for an engagement session. Maryann is from Queens and she loves Grand Central Station, so it was the perfect spot for a shoot. We took pictures in the subway, in the train station, on the streets, at Bryant Park, all over the place. We even got a photo with a couple Elvises. It was a great time and a beautiful day in NYC. I can’t wait for the wedding in January at The Madison Hotel.

Senior Session with Carlee

Looking for something different for your senior photos? I now offer creative senior sessions at the studio and around Chestnut Hill. This session was so much fun and I’m looking forward to doing more! Carlee was great to work with and she got comfortable in front of the camera pretty quickly – she said it was a lot easier than the typical stiff posed senior shots – and we collaborated on what she wanted to convey in the photos.

For a limited time, I am offering sessions at a special price of $350 which includes both studio and outdoor photography around Chestnut Hill (regular price $550), online proofs and a disk of all the edited photos. Alternatively you can book it at just the session fee of $250 and then decide to purchase prints or digital files later on. You can also add hair/makeup services right at the studio for an additional $225.

Want to do a session with friends? Group rates are available – (save up to $400 off per person compared to regularly priced sessions) for groups of 3-4 – $250 per person includes the shoot, the online proof album, and your photos on disk. You can add hair/makeup for $120 each. You will still each get approximately an hour in front of the camera and you can get some group shots as well! So fun!

This is a limited time offer so book your senior session today! Now here’s some more from Carlee’s session!

November to Remember!

So… I had a bit of a rough October! I twisted my knee really bad after a shoot early in the month and had to be off my feet while it healed, and then the month ended with one of the worst cases of the flu that I have ever experienced. My husband and I both got the flu, on our 7 year wedding anniversary!!!! It was ridiculous. But everything is all good now and I am ready to start November off with a bang.

As a result of the roughness of October I had to reschedule a family photo day so I am happy to announce a new date! I am going to devote TWO days to family photos at the studio – November 9th and 10th – I already have a couple spots secured so please contact me ASAP if interested. I am running a special for these two days – the session fee is waived, so there is no charge for the actual shoot! Then, you will see all the edited photos in a password-protected online album, and you can purchase prints, individual digital files, or a disk of all the digital files at a discounted rate of $150. Email me at kamharrisphoto@yahoo.com for more info and to reserve your spot!!

Another way this will be a “November to Remember” is this – I am going to be holding my first ever client event! Sunday, November 22nd, from 3-7 p.m. My past and present clients are welcome to stop in and check out my new studio and all my new sample albums. There will be free mini-makeovers by Cheekadee, delicious treats and the wine will flow, specials and giveaways, and, my favorite thing ever – we will have a photobooth by http://www.njphotobooths.com/ so come on out and celebrate the opening of the new studio! This is open to clients as well as anyone interested in my photography services, for example if you have been thinking about booking a session at the studio but would like to check it out first. Past and present clients – bring in your engaged friends to check out my work! Please email me at kamharrisphoto@yahoo.com for the studio address and directions!
(p.s. this event is for clients only, but no worries, there will be an event for fellow photographers and other wedding vendors soon!!!)

Angelique and Peter at Citizens Bank Park and South Street

This shoot was actually over a month ago but I am finally getting the chance to blog it. This was so fun – Angie, Pete an I met at Citizens Bank Park, (home of this little team you may have heard of, the Phillies) and shot in and around the park for about an hour and then we ventured out to South Street and found THE batman garage that I have been wanting to shoot for so long.

I remember this was a few days before my first ever Phillies game – and wouldn’t you know it they happened to win that game and clinch the NL East title – I think we left them a little somethin, a little energy hehe

This was really special too because after 5 years of hard work Peter earned his PhD in Pharmacology and this shoot was a way to celebrate his great achievement. And being the cool wife that Angelique is, she plotted and planned this great surprise – down to every screen in the park reading “PTB, PhD”
