How I See It

Come on spring!

2011-02-27T11:44:00.000-08:00

Oh, how I am ready for warmer weather! I've taken snow pictures and some pictures of my kids playing in the snow on snow days, but it's time for old man winter to move along now. I am ready for spring and blooming flowers and longer days. I am ready for wedding season to start. I am so excited for two weddings I will be photographing in the next few weeks, and I am looking forward to photographing several more this summer. If you are getting married, I'd love the opportunity to visit with you about your wedding day. Email me at amie@amieharrisonphotography.com and let's chat!

Kelsey and Keri's wedding

2010-07-13T23:05:00.000-07:00

Just a little preview. So much more to come...

Yes they're cute, but more importantly they are really awesome people...

2010-06-17T19:29:00.000-07:00

Whitney and Tim have been together since late high school. When I was with them for their engagement session, two things were very clear to me: these two are absolutley building their lives together with Jesus Christ as their foundation and they have an awesome future together in love and in their committment to serve God. Tim and Whitney, thank you so much for allowing me to hang out with the two of you to snap some shots, and Tim, thanks for riding in the back seat with the two giant frames! You are a very good sport! :-)

Amy

2010-03-13T22:43:00.000-08:00

I have a soft spot for Brewer kids. I can't really expain it, but it started last year with Amy's brother, Jake. Jake and I got to know each other when I shot his senior pictures. He was only in my class for the spring semster, but we instantly got along and I learned quite a lot about his life. This year it is Amy. She is a sweet, funny girl who is beautiful inside and, as you can see, on the outside as well. We had quite a good time with her session and Jake came along to harrass his little sister (and me) a bit.

Jess

2010-01-23T18:31:00.000-08:00

Oh Jess is such a sweet girl! She is another one of my Senior girls, and I think she is so lovely! See for your self...

Meet Talina

2010-01-23T18:23:00.000-08:00

Meet yet another one of my incredibly cool Senior girls. Talina is a very smart, funny young lady who is incredibly loyal to her friends and is not afraid to speak her mind. She might be a girl who doesn't want you to think she is very girly , but oh-my-goodness, look how lovely she is!! I enjoyed taking her pictures, and I think she looks awesome!

I am not quite sure

2009-12-29T16:56:00.000-08:00

if you can stand the cuteness here. I mean LOOK at these kids.

The Lovely Lauren...

2009-12-29T16:46:00.000-08:00

This is the lovely Lauren. The lovely Lauren who makes me feel old, but you see, it isn't really her fault: her mother and I have known each other almost our whole lives. And now this girl is a senior in high school and I feel old. But i guess it happens to all of us: suddenly you are aware that people you went to school with now have kids in high school, and you find yourself thinking, "WTHeck?!?! Seriously? When did we grow up?" But I guess I can forgive Lauren for making me feel old, because look at how freakin' cute she is! I mean, if I have to feel old, I guess if I get to photograph a really lovely girl in the process it's not all bad! :-)

Jordan: a girl who doesn't seem to realize how gorgeous she really is!

2009-11-20T21:17:00.000-08:00

more of em.

2009-11-19T20:46:00.000-08:00

This is Emily. She is stunning. She knows exactly who she is and what she wants to do with her life. Em is unique, artistic, eclectic, and beautiful!

Taylor

2009-05-10T21:05:00.000-07:00

So for a while I was on a roll photographing Senior guys. Well now I have been shooting some lovely girls at MHS. This is Taylor: very cool and very smart!

An engagement shoot

2009-05-10T20:07:00.000-07:00

Last month I got to shoot a fun couple: Kurt and Jennifer. They were up for anything and we came up with some really great shots, I think!

Bring in the cuteness!

More of Miranda...

2009-04-11T22:15:00.000-07:00

Miranda

2009-04-11T22:09:00.000-07:00

is a fabulous young lady. She is the girl, who when she laughs, no matter where you are in the high school you can her her. Miranda is smart, funny, and popular, but what is most impressive is how she treats others: she is friendly to everyone she is around no matter who they are and what clique they may be a part of.

Kyle

2009-04-07T18:57:00.000-07:00

came to MHS part way through the year, and I am glad he did. He is a good guy and a good student.

A few more of Scott and Michael...

2009-04-01T20:18:00.000-07:00

Meet Makayla

2009-03-29T20:58:00.000-07:00

who is one of the coolest girls I have ever had in class. Now let me tell you why I say that: Makayla is a strong, confident young woman who knows exactly who she is. She is one of the few girls I have ever met that is truly comfortable in her own skin. Mac is also a kick-butt athlete in every sport she plays including powder-puff football!

One of my oldest friends

2009-03-25T18:17:00.000-07:00

is happy, in love, and engaged. When Scott called me to tell me his news, I was surprised at my reaction. Yes, I knew I'd be happy for him when such news came my way, but what I wasn't ready for was the overwhelming emotions that flooded through me: I wept because I am so happy for Scott and Michael. We had such a good time making our way around downtown Tulsa on a late afternoon in Spring. The day started out rather warm, but the temps broke nicely and made for a beautiful day.

This is Kolton:

2009-03-23T20:13:00.000-07:00

an all around nice guy and student of mine.

Oklahoma Strobist

2009-03-02T14:45:00.000-08:00

So this weekend i went to an amazing workshop in Tulsa put on by Corey Lack of Oklahoma Strobist. If you are in Oklahoma and you want to learn about off camera lighting, these workshops are the way to go. Check out www.okstrobist.com for more info.

This is Rich: A former military man, current boxing instructor at Under Dawgs Fight Center in Tulsa, mixed martial artist, and all-around nice guy. www.underdawgsfightcenter.com

Veronica and Chris

2009-02-18T14:23:00.000-08:00

So yet again I got to photograph two incredible young people. The thing that i enjoy most is these two kiddos are also students of mine. Both Veronica and Chris are really good people. They were so much fun to photograph!

A few more of Riley

2009-02-01T19:06:00.000-08:00

The uber talented Riley:

2009-02-01T18:13:00.000-08:00

So a couple weekends ago I had the pleasure of photographing another great Senior. Riley is smart and an incredibly gifted singer, but more impressive than that is the way he chooses to conduct his life: anyone who knows him knows he is a follower of Christ. This fall, he will leave for college to pursue a degree in music ministry. If you ever get a chance to hear him sing, you will not be disappointed!

Some lovely Oklahoma light...

Are you kidding me?!?

2009-01-28T20:07:00.000-08:00

Hello Mr. C. Could you be any cuter?

Not for everyone...

2009-01-26T18:51:00.000-08:00

The grunge photo:

I saw a tutorial on how to achieve this on the www.okstrobist.com site.
Frankly, I like it. A lot actually, but it is not for everyone. Definately a
good look for sports photos.

Tyler and his lovely girlfriend

2008-12-31T01:29:00.000-08:00

One of my favorites of 2008:

Big Bad Curtis!

2008-12-20T17:04:00.000-08:00

Once again, I got to photograph another great guy. Curtis was such a good sport. We started early Saturday morning when it was very chilly outside, but it didn't phase him one bit. We found some great new locations and Curtis definately worked it out! Thank you Cindy for allowing me to shoot your very cool son!

One of my favorites:

More to come.

Kristin and Kyle +1=

2008-12-12T23:36:00.000-08:00

Really into dramtic black and whites right now

2008-12-06T11:06:00.000-08:00

So, these are some of my favorite b/w shots from Jacob's Senior shoot. I really love the dramatic shadows and contrast of these images. If you use photoshop CS2 or CS3, you can download a great set of free actions at www.thepioneerwoman.com/photography
I used those actions to process these images of Jacob.

An old soul...

2008-11-29T23:57:00.000-08:00

is how I would describe Jacob. I didn't really know him very well before our shoot because he is not in any of my classes, but by the time we were finished, I felt like I had a pretty good idea of what this guy is about. There is a wisdom about him beyond his 18 years; he is smart, genuine, and has a good heart.

We had an awesome opportunity to shoot somewhere noone else will get to. The west end of the Osborn building has been under remodeling construction for some time now. The day we stopped by, the cement floor had been poured the day before, but not much else had progressed yet. So, I popped in to ask Riley if we could shoot in there, and he thought it would be OK. The crew started framing in the walls the very next day, so we just happened into a one day opportunity! It turned out to be a great urban location!

For a girl who kept saying

2008-11-23T20:46:00.000-08:00

"I've never really had my picture taken professionally before!" You sure wouldn't know it from these shots. She worked it out, don't you think?!? These were for a quick (as in 5 mins) session outside the high school. Maybe I can convince Veronica to go for a full hour and a half shoot!

A few more to tide you over :-)

2008-11-22T18:37:00.000-08:00

I am on a roll...

2008-11-13T21:40:00.000-08:00

In the last four weeks I have photographed four great senior guys. Meet Trent: not only is he smart, but he is a seriously talented athlete as well. I have watched this kid play football for four years now and he continually leads his team into any given game with grace, honor and dignity. But the best thing? He lives his life off the field with those same qualities.

The M.H.S. all-time single game passing record!

And the lovely Ali!

Trent and Ali

2008-11-11T19:22:00.000-08:00

More of Trent to come...

More of Jordan...

2008-11-10T20:50:00.000-08:00

Jordan's Senior Shoot

2008-11-09T20:57:00.000-08:00

First of all, if you have not met this kid, you are missing out! His parents are proud of him for many great reasons, but the thing that hit me the most was when we finished his shoot, he was happy he still had time to make it to church. What a genuine guy he is!
Secondly, you can't beat living in the Mid-West in the fall...look at these colors and light!

More to come tomorrow. :-)

The Edmondsons

2008-11-08T23:08:00.000-08:00

Cause she's just that cute!

2008-11-08T00:41:00.000-08:00

How stinkin' cute...

2008-11-07T18:46:00.000-08:00

My favorite so far!

A few more of Zach

2008-10-26T17:33:00.000-07:00

This one was kind of by accident :-) Zach's mom, Kellie, was trying to get him to make a serious face, but as he tried to NOT smile, he smiled harder and kept laughing (and I kept shooting!)

A little sneak peak

2008-10-25T20:42:00.000-07:00

of Zach's Senior pictures.
Here are a few I like...

More to come tomorrow!

Eight years ago today...

2008-10-25T20:22:00.000-07:00

I held this little beauty in my hands for the very first time. She was planned for, she was prayed for, and she has been loved from the moment we found out she was on her way. She blesses us every single day through her wit, her charm, her compassion, and her intelect. I often wonder how God could weave so many awesome qualities into one small package...

Happy Birthday Hallie Girl!
You are so loved!

What a beautiful, loved little girl...

2008-10-20T19:08:00.000-07:00

Ryan, Savanna, and Aubrey

2008-10-14T19:12:00.000-07:00

I had a little fun with a new little family I know! My dear friend Anita is now a grandma to this gorgeous baby girl, Aubrey. Aubrey's lovely parents are Ryan and Savanna. Thanks for letting me photograph your beautiful family! More photos to come, so check back soon.

More of this cute family...

Um, LOOK at those bubbles...

So long summer...

2008-09-14T20:20:00.000-07:00

The kids and I have been back to school for a few weeks now, but it wasn't until this evening I felt like summer was really on its way out. The weather has been rainy all weekend thanks to Ike, and the temp today was perfectly cool! Tonight I sat in our swing while the kids played in the driveway, and Keith tinkered around in the garage. Really a perfect evening to end the weekend and the season. The sun was was throwing some great light, so Hallie and I walked out into the street to snap a few shots before the glow was gone. What a great summer we had this year! Hope yours was fantastic as well.

Tracy and Bryan

2008-09-08T20:56:00.000-07:00

I had the absolute pleasure of shooting the wedding of Tracy and Bryan. The instant I walked through the door of her parents' home, I immediately felt welcome! What a fun, loving family! Thank you all for letting me be a part of your amazing day. Every detail was about family, and the warmth of their love was so palpable. Tracy and Brian were so calm on their day; it seemed as though they had known each other forever. I love this shot of Bryan; you can really feel how calm he was while waiting for his life's love to walk down the aisle. By the way, I love-love-LOVE the light in this photo!

First look...

Seriously hot!

The beautiful Tracy and her BFF...

Jerrod & Cheney

2008-07-19T21:32:00.000-07:00

Jerrod and I have know each other for over seven years. You see, I was Jerrod's eighth and ninth grade English teacher. And by the way, his tenth and eleventh grade English teacher..oh, and his Senior AP English teacher. I guess you could say I have had the absolute pleasure of watching him mature into a fine and decent young man. I photographed these two love birds last summer for their engagement and was so pleased to have the opportunity to shoot their wedding in June.

Cheney

2008-07-16T22:48:00.000-07:00

Stunning!

How about a few of Jake?

2008-07-01T19:51:00.000-07:00

Flower girl

2008-06-30T20:23:00.000-07:00

How lovely is this little girl? She was the flower girl at a wedding I shot recently, I think she is so beautiful!

Now, for those of you wondering what I did to the second shot, I
used some great little photoshop actions from the Pioneer Woman. Ree, or PW, is a great photographer and she has a wonderful, FREE, set of actions available to download from her website, www.thepioneerwoman.com Go to the photography site and download these babies! They work in CS2 or Cs3, and she is working on some for Elements. On the photo above, I used an action called "lovely and etheral". On the photo below I used PW's "vintage" action; then I erased the action from over her eyes to reveal their A-MAY-Zing green color. Not to shabby, eh?

Just a few of my favorites from their wedding...

How hot are these ladies?!?

2008-06-15T19:53:00.000-07:00

A few weeks ago I shot Jake and Rochelle's wedding. She wanted some fun,
out of the ordinary girls' pictures, so out the door we went!
Rochelle was a stunning bride; her bridesmaids looked lovely as well.

Well someone's in hurry!

2008-06-06T22:56:00.000-07:00

Apparently Canaan is in quite the rush to meet his family! Originally expected around the first week of August, he is measuring at 36 weeks right now! Jenn delivered her last two children early, so odds are C.B. will be here sometime in June...

Can't wait to meet you!

Trash the Dress!

2008-06-03T15:59:00.000-07:00

Hey! I want to do a "Trash the Dress" session. If any of you lovely brides out there want to do a mild or wild trash the dress session please let me know!
Wondering what "Trash the Dress" is? Well, it is a new trend already very popular on the coasts. After your wedding day, after you've said "I Do" to your hunky husband, after you've looked like a princess bride, you might just want some pictures a little on the wilder side. This is not about tearing up your gown; it's about wearing your amazing dress that typically you only wear once in your life anyway. Why not get it out of the closet and have some unique fun with it? We can be as out there or tame as you want, so go to google and type in "Trash the Dress" and click on images. If this interests you, please leave a comment or contact me at harrisonfamily@cableone.net
Thanks!

Jay and Gina

2008-05-10T10:07:00.000-07:00

I am so glad I got the opportunity to photograph this fun and amazing couple on their wedding day! Their love is obvious to everyone who meets them. When I arrived at the church, Jay greeted me with a big grin; he simply could not contain his joy and excitement about marrying his life's love. I met Gina shortly after: what a warm and gracious woman she is! These two are such a blessing to one another. I feel like I have known them forever!

Many more images to come in the next two days!

Jenn

2008-05-09T22:49:00.000-07:00

I used a few actions on this photo. You can get them yourself by heading over to www.thepioneerwoman.com and clicking on the photography tab. Very good stuff over there!
