Philadelphia Portrait Photography

The portrait photography portfolios in our galleries provide a unique combination of many types of styles and technical variations. From engagement photography to children photography, the images range from natural lighting to fill-light and full studio lighting. Each Philadelphia and Montgomery County portrait photography and engagement photography assignment and commission calls for a different approach depending on the setting and end use for the images.

Portrait photography should evoke a sense of storytelling. Our objective with our portrait photography is to convey emotion and a true sense of time and feeling. Portrait photography can tell a story, share a moment or be a form of articulate expression. Our experience is able to provide you with beautiful portrait photography that can be enjoyed for a lifetime.

Children Photography Portraits

In addition to our engagement photography and wedding portrait sessions we are available for family portraiture, maternity and baby portraiture. We have created some very unique packages that combine the story-telling and portraiture photography. We call them Family Picture Stories and they include a Personal Portrait session of your family or children. (A kind of day in the life series that centers on you and your family.) While we typically produce beautiful individual children photography portraits from these sessions, they are often most powerfully experienced as a series or picture story photographic montage. We try to avoid the 'say cheese' moments and document the action as it happens. Through our engagement photography and wedding photography we often write the first page of the family story. Our children photography and Family Picture Stories are the interesting and fun chapters that follow.

Gorgeous Engagement Photography Portraits

Engagement photography can be almost as important as the actual wedding photography. Think of it as the first step or the practice round to the big show. That is how we approach our gorgeous engagement photography. Although engagement photography is not as formal, it is still an important milestone to mark, which is why we provide unique, memorable engagement photography in and around the Philadelphia and Montgomery County, PA area. These engagement photography sessions are a way for us to get to know each other before your wedding and we also have a number of unique ways to present the final images at your wedding.

At Jim Harris Studios, we provide the most exceptional children photography and engagement photography portraits in the Philadelphia and Montgomery County areas. For more information on our portrait photography, contact us today.
