Donna Harris Photography bio picture

After a couple of years, I’m sure there will be a time I’ll look back at photos I’ve taken or projects that I’ve worked on where I can see how far I’ve come…and how I’ve improved.

…Sure there have been times I’ve thought, “I am way better than that NOW!”. It’s good to see improvement in my work.

But I don’t feel this way when I look back on the birthstory of my nephew. Maybe it’s because he IS my nephew, maybe it’s because I poured my heart and soul into compiling memories for my Brother and Sister-in-Law the way I would want to have for myself if I were in the same situation.

That’s how I look at each ‘photo assignment’ and I think this one really captures that effort.

My newly born nephew – June 2009

Photobucket

Titus is now a year old and has the cutest little grin!

..And maybe it’s because I’m pregnant and hormonal but watching this continues to bring me to tears. ๐Ÿ™‚

(Side note: If you pay close attention, there’s an image that shows the time Titus was born. Given that mom and dad were unsure if they wanted to name him Titus or Levi, they decided that if he were to be born on an even minute, his name would have been Levi. Since it was an odd minute, they chose Titus. Pretty cool, huh?)

    This is one of the most moving slideshows I've seen! Even though I do not know those pictured, I was still brought to tears. You've captured each moment…perfectly!ReplyCancel

Baby’s Room!

I was surprised at the salon the other day by a wonderful gift…a diaper cake!

Photobucket

The staff all pitched in so that Lacey could make this awesome cake. Lacey didn’t know anything about the room or our colors, the gift just happened to match the baby’s room PERFECTLY.

I absolutely love how our design efforts turned out! It makes me super excited for this little boy to arrive.

While I’m not too big on having a themed room, I can’t help but love the giraffes that are scattered playfully about. This big 4 foot tall giraffe was actually something that Christopher won at “Dave and Busters”. Roman thinks it’s his gift to give to baby brother once he arrives. I’m interested to see how that goes over. ๐Ÿ™‚

The bedding was the initial inspriation for the room decor. It’s fun to have all the different prints, patterns, and textures.

This is one of my favorite pieces. It was a scale that my mom used on all of us!

So, that’s the baby’s room. I admit it. We find ourselves in there all the time trying to imagine what life will be like once he arrives. With one week left before my due date, I hope we don’t have to imagine much longer!!!

With one week left until my due date, I am anxiously awaiting bringing baby home to his room.

    Oh my goodness!! I am calling you when I get ready to have a baby to come decorate! This room is adorable! LOVE it!ReplyCancel

I was honored to photograph Emma’s photos for her senior year. I’ve known Emma for quite some time as a client of mine at the hair salon. I never would have dreamed that when she first sat in my styling chair several years ago, that I’d be capturing a significant milestone in her life through pictures.

I can’t get over how much Emma looks like Miranda Cosgrove from the TV series iCarly and one of my favorite movies, “School of Rock”.

Busy Scissors!

So I grew up with all brothers and all boy cousins. I spent many, many years either playing video games or watching my family memebers get to the end of Zelda, beat Super Mario 3, fight the final fight in Mike Tyson’s Punch Out… I’ve even enjoyed a few games on a ColecoVision. Then I got married to one of the “biggest kids” and avid video game players around. We’ve collected our share of Xbox, PS2 and PS3 and Nintento Wii video games. ….but I don’t think I could ever convince my brothers, cousins or husband to play this video game!

Check it out!!!!
