A Liv Doll Styled Wedding – Introducing Harmony Urban | 8 year old Wedding Photographer

Monday, May 7, 2012

Yesterday, my 8 year old daughter Harmony came home from school and rushed to her bedroom. After a few quiet minutes, I yelled up the stairs to ask what she was doing. She replied, “I’m shooting a wedding.”

And she was totally serious. I’m not sure what I was more proud of; the fact that she photographed her first solo wedding, or the fact that she culled everything in camera, before removing her compact flash card – all by herself. When did this kid get so big? :*/

I was so impressed with her work, I asked her if I could feature her images on my blog. She squealed in delight and then danced around like a monkey. Oh yes, there was my 8 year old – giddy as can be, and now acting her actual age.

(“Hanging upside down on monkey bars”……..just in case you were wondering).

 

You would think this child had watched Breaking Dawn, with the freakishly fast and accelerated pregnancy after the wedding, however – it was clarified to be “through the years”. So here’s what happened after……

The maternity shoot…..

 

 

 

The newborn shoot…..

 

 

The family portrait…

 

Family portrait a few years later…

 

 

Going off to college…

 

Coming home from college…

The end.

 

Here’s 8 year old Harmony Urban. She photographed the wedding, the maternity portraits, newborn session, family portraits and family yearbook sessions using a Canon 20D with a 22-55 mm lens on auto with a pop up flash (when the camera choose to use it).

She’ll be stalking this post, so if you’d like to leave her some love, I know a squealing monkey dance will follow. Thanks for visiting! 🙂

Barbara Sage - OMG Angie!!! First, she had to have seen the images from your friend, Melissa’s wedding where the guys are hanging on the monkey bars!!! CLASSIC!!!!! I love it!!! So many of these images remind me of your work! She must watch you edit! I don’t know how else an 8yr old would know to capture the images she took! The fact that she did is MIND BLOWING!!! You should make her an album!!! Definitely made my day! 😀 😀

“Harmony, you are your Mother’s daughter for sure! She is an amazing woman with so much talent! She continues to inspire & mentor me. Keep watching her Harmony! You will learn so much. If you have the talent you show in these images now, at your age, you will be extremely successful doing something you, obviously, love to do! With this talent, you will move mountains! You Rock Girl! Can’t wait to see more photography by Harmony Urban!” <3<3

Laurajane - oh i just love this. my mom and i were looking through it together and we were crying with laughter at the sweetness of this and how accurate it is to wedding photos with real people. she definitely could have a future in photography. i used to do this sort of stuff when i was around her age with my american girl dolls. as i was looking through this post i was envying the posing abilities of her dolls, american girl dolls are not that pose-able. this post kind of makes me want to try to find my very first “photoshoot” photos with my dolls and post them on my blog.
