Singing in the Rain

A few years ago, Mary walked down the aisle as her sister's maid of honor. Now the rolls will be reversed, as Mary begins planning for her upcoming wedding to Andy. To honor their engagement, we photographed them in what would seem a dreary and rainy afternoon. The old saying is true, "bad weather makes great pictures." We photographed this willing couple amidst the heavy mist of rain that fell over Richmond last week. The resulting light could not have been better, especially with Mary's warm smile lighting up the images. Of course, Andy looks great too... Once the couple's selection is made, we will custom design special "save the date" cards for their prospective guests. These among other images will also be designed into a custom bound book for guests to view at their reception.

Cheyenne Facchina

Cheyenne is a rising senior at Kenston Forest; Class of 2011. I first met Cheyenne when she enrolled in a photography class I was teaching a year ago. Although she was the youngest members of the class, her budding skills in photography and composition were already apparent. In fact, she was among the best in the class.

Fast forward a year later; the above photographs from Cheyenne's Senior session (photographed this week) are representative of a very simple and direct composition. Nothing competes with her natural features and engaging expressions that were allowed to flow throughout the session. The resulting portraits will stand the test of time as they truly capture her great personality.

Cheyenne will have ample opportunities to practice her skills in photography in a few months as she plans to travel to Italy with her family to tour the boot shaped country this summer.

Michael Taylor Couture

Fashion designer, Michael Taylor hosted an invitation only show of his new line recently. Mr. Taylor grew up in Richmond before working in New York for a number of years. Now located in the old "Lucky Strike" building on the James River, Michael Taylor Couture has designed gowns for a number of Richmonders and beyond. An article featuring his work ran in Sunday's Flair section of the Richmond Times Dispatch.

Our work was also installed as part of the exhibit. Three of our 30x40 prints featured a past client wearing one of Micheal's dresses at her daughter's wedding.

We wish Michael much success with his fashion and look forward to collaborating with him on future projects.

Ber is a typical five year old child who just happens to be battling "stage 4 cancer". His cancer is so rare he frequently travels to New York for treatment. The costs associated with the travel alone are quite expensive.

To aid Ber and his family, ACAC Athletic Club is hosting a weekend to benefit Ber and his family. Work out for free and ACAC will donate to Ber's cause.

Robert Harris Photography will also participate in raising funds for Ber. (See flyer above) Help us in this effort by calling the studio (804) 276-1200 from March 3rd-7th to make your donation and schedule a session. (Sessions may be scheduled through June 2010)

The original date for Ber's bowl was postponed in February due to snow
