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”

Liz and Tom at Crossings Vineyards

I loved this wedding at Crossings Vineyards! It was a rainy/overcast day but that just made everything look so lush and green and beautiful. And the bride and groom – you really couldn’t ask for a better couple. The groom asked me at one point if they are smiling too big, hehe, they were so happy. And the bride asked me one thing about her photos – she said to “PLEASE don’t do that thing where everything is black and white and the flowers are in color”. I believe that is called selective coloring and it is.. not cool, haha, so NO problem there!

Here are just a few of my favorites from the day.

Laura and Josh at the Park Savoy

I first met Laura and Josh almost two years ago! I remember them telling me how important photography was to them – Laura was a photography major in college – so I knew right away that if they hire me for their wedding, they would be really into it and give me lots of time for photos. And that’s exactly what happened! I photographed their engagement session about a year ago and we had so much fun. And just like that another year went by and their wedding day arrived! Here are a few of my faves.

Milene and Don – Rockin’ the Dress

Milene and Don and I met up at the Convention Hall in Asbury Park, and Milene said “oh wow you brought a chair!” haha so there we were, a bride and groom, and a photographer, carrying a chair and a bench up and down the Asbury Park boardwalk. Good times!

This was a really fun session, I couldn’t believe these two got in the water – it was FREEZING!!

This photo is one of those happy accidents… I totally didn’t plan for it to look like they are melting/floating away.. but it does.. and I LOOOVEEE it!!

I played around with this photo .. just for fun made it look like a Weird NJ cover hehe

So behind on blogging!

I have weddings from May – October that I have not blogged yet!! So, look out for a ton of blogs over the next few weeks, I’ll be working on updating this thing haha. Also, in the meantime, I post stuff here and there on my Facebook page – Click here and become a fan!

For now, here is a sneak peek photo from Laura and Josh’s wedding at The Park Savoy in NJ
