rating our experience with Bart as a 5-star was an easy decision to make! our session with our 6-week old lasted about 7 hours, which is not even an option at other places, but was necessary to capture the baby's funny and memorable moments throughout the day while he's fully awake, while he sleeps, and even during his crankiness attack.. It's just an inevitable part of the experience. 7 hours may sound like torture to some parents, but Bart made the whole thing look easy and normal. His thoughtfulness about the day of the shoot is what makes him stand out. he provides diapers, rest areas, and food menus from surrounding restaurants. His unlimited patience and professionalism are rare traits these days. You don't just run into a photographer who is willing to give a whole day just for your baby, for which we consider ourselves blessed to have chosen him for our newborn photo shoot. We really liked his vision of this whole experience: multiple angles to reflect the baby's mood swings and facial expressions throughout the day, in all of the which the angelic side of the baby is always apparent and surreal. I would undoubtedly recommend him to any friend who is looking for a newborn photo shoot. Sam read more

As soon to be new parents, my husband and I were looking to find a photographer to take pictures of our newborn baby girl. We didn't want just anybody, and recommendations were hard to come by. One day I drove down Belmont and saw Bart Harris' studio and really loved the pictures I saw outside, so I decided to call. It was the best call I made as I knew the minute I spoke with Mr. Harris, his professionalism and love of photography shined through. His package is comprehensive, reasonable, and his photography speaks for itself. His passion for his work was evident the minute we walked through the door. The photos of our baby girl are priceless and we couldn't have stumbled upon a better photographer or better person to start our memories with our baby. I would recommend Bart Harris photography to anyone looking for newborn photos, family photos, etc as I know they will get quality work with a person who has a wonderful personality to boot. read more

Bart did our newborn photos for our 4 week old son and we had a wonderful experience! He was incredibly patient and took all the time we needed to get great photos. He was a true professional and we have beautiful pictures that we will cherish for many years to come. He was able to capture such a precious time and was patient enough to get those sleeping shots! He was willing to do as many 'set ups' I guess you would say as we wanted. He had great little hats, diaper covers, and other props. He came up with great ideas for poses and positions. He is well equipped with all the diapers and wipes you could need as a new parent and also has a private area to nurse the baby when the need arrives. Bart is a genuinely nice guy and it was a pleasure to spend a Saturday with him! The photos are worth every dollar you'll spend! read more

Bart is an amazing photographer and a person. I found Bart in March on line, called and visited him in person in his studio. We talked in detail about the set up for my professional photo. He told me all pros and cons of taking a picture in his studio versus at my work. He also suggested a few outfits that would fit me the best. We set up a date of the shooting and he was on time with all necessary equipment. At the end he sent me more than 200 pictures of very good quality that I could use for several different professional purposes. Overall, I strongly recommend Bart as a photographer; you do not have to search for anybody else. read more

We had the best experience with Bart during our newborn photo session! First and foremost, he was very accommodating with re-scheduling the session when we realized one week after birth was just too soon. While our baby had an agenda of his own during most of the session (and I mean MOST of the session) Bart was incredibly patient. He had great ideas and suggestions, and most importantly, he was able to capture really amazing shots given our baby's multiple meltdowns. His prices are very reasonable, and his customer service was beyond our expectation. We are very happy with everything and would definitely recommend Bart. read more

When searching for a photographer to take our second child's pictures we knew how precious the first few weeks of a newborn's life is and wanted to find a photographer that could capture these precious moments. We can't recommend Bart enough! His kindness, professionalism, and eye for amazing pictures are beyond words. It is evident that he not only has a passion for his profession, but he has also has a passion for people. If you're on the fence whether or not to invest in the pictures you will not be disappointed! My only regret was not having Bart take newborn pictures for my first child. read more

Bart Harris took photos for me and my family around the birth of my first baby. My husband and I went to his studio when I was around 37 weeks pregnant, Bart came to the hospital when my son was 2 days old, then we went back to Bart's studio when my son was 8 days old. Bart was very professional and fun. He knows how to keep you relaxed and engaged during the photo sessions. I love the photos that he took! They will be treasures for us and our growing family for years to come. I look forward to calling him for more family shots in the future. read more

Bart Harris is a truly amazing photographer. I am a fine artist and since the onset of my art career, Bart has photographed every piece of artwork as I completed each piece. This has given me a distinct advantage to be able to respond in a heartbeat to calls for art. More importantly, he always captures the true color and detail of each painting. Bart is truly responsible for the high percentage of my artwork that has sold over the past 12 years. His portrait photography is equally impressive. He is the best of the best. Andrea H. read more

We took our 4 week old to do a photo session with Bart on a Sunday. Bart was extremely patient and kind the entire day - we were there close to 7 hours!!

We brought various personal props (college jerseys, books, etc) that Bart used so creatively!! We already got our photos back within days and they look incredible!!! So excited Bart captured our new family In such a special way!! read more
