I have a new website! I decided that I was tired of keeping up both a blog and a website so I have made it into one. www.victoriabainesharris.com for weddings and portraits (and the occasional landscape) and www.allamericanshots.com for anything sports related! Check them out!!

Utah Photographer: Landscapes: Kent Denver Art Show

2009-05-29T12:47:00.004-06:00

I have an art show coming up! The show is the Kent Denver Art Show and it will run Friday June 5th- Sunday June 7th. I had some work in this show last year and I really like it because it has a very laid back atmosphere and there are lots of other artists with great work. If anyone is interested in attending it is held at Kent Denver School in Colorado for more information please visit their website. They have a silent auction and lots of great work to view and purchase! Here are the pieces I submitted to the show this year! Also if anyone is interested in purchasing one of these images however you are not going to the show they are avilable here for purchase! Thanks!

Utah Children's Photographer: The Babies

2009-05-21T18:09:00.003-06:00

Meet little H and T my niece and nephew. I absolutely love these two, they are so funny together. I caught them while they were watching tv so they were just a bit distracted but still too cute ignore!

Utah Portrait Photographer: Kali!

2009-05-21T15:36:00.007-06:00

I found this little place near my home in Utah and decided I had to do a photo shoot there. Kali has a very fun personality and therefore the setting really worked with her. I love the older, vintage feeling of the building. Awesome, what a great shoot!

Sports Photographer: College Lacrosse: MCLA Nationals

2009-05-18T22:01:00.006-06:00

Sorry for the lack of posting this past week, I was in Denver with BYU for the MCLA national tournament. It was fun and there were some awesome games but I am exhausted. Here are a few of my favorites from the week. Chapman ended up beating BYU 10-9 in overtime.

Sports Photographer: Utah High School Lacrosse: American Fork vs Mountain Crest

2009-05-09T16:20:00.003-06:00

This was the second to last high school lacrosse game of the season :( tear. I am sad that the season is over, but I am looking forward to lots of lacrosse this upcoming week at the Nationals Tournament in Denver. Look forward to LOTS of new pictures !

Sports Photographer: Utah High School Lacrosse: American Fork vs Lehi

2009-05-05T21:22:00.003-06:00

This was the last regular season high school game I shot this year. I have shot a few games for both teams and it was fun watching them play each other. Lehi (the black and purple team) actually is the same colors I wore when I played high school lacrosse, and their mascot is the same as where I played college lacrosse (The Pioneers). Weird. Well what a fun lacrosse season, two high school playoff games this week and it is over like that. Sad. Onto a new sport this summer, little league baseball, some soccer maybe, my husbands summer league lacrosse team ( I will have to post some from those games because they are funny...) Either way look forward to some fun new pictures! view this gallery

Sports Photographer: College Lacrosse: BYU vs University of Colorado

2009-05-05T21:09:00.003-06:00

I shot the RMLC championship game this weekend in Boulder, CO. It was not the nice weather that I am used to in Colorado, instead it was overcast and pouring rain by the forth quarter. I will be happy the day I get protective gear for my camera because I was so nervous it was going to get wet. Until that day plastic bags and an umbrella stuffed into my coat will have to do. What a great game and a great turn around season for CU. They had a few losses early on that I thought meant they were not going to be very good this season. Guess again. I think they could pull some serious upsets at the National Tournement in a week. I would love for them to take down Michigan (it might be the fact that I loved attending CU football games as a kid, or that I like cheering for the underdog at times). Either way until they see BYU again, go CU! Check out seedings and gametimes here. It should be a great week! View this gallery

Sports Photography: Utah High School Lacrosse: Bountiful vs. Judge

2009-04-29T14:53:00.004-06:00

These are from the Bountiful vs Judge game. It was such a nice day and the game was a good one. I really liked the colors of both teams uniforms. That is such a silly detail to pick up on but sometimes pictures turn out better when both teams have good uniforms/colors. Check out all of the gallery here.

Sports Photography: Utah High School Lacrosse: Olympus vs Bountiful

2009-04-28T15:15:00.004-06:00

I have a younger cousin that plays for Olympus. Until last Saturday I had never seen him play before and he did so awesome! I had so much fun watching him play despite the fact that for the second quarter and into the third it was raining and freezing. Where is summer? Please some soon I seriously prefer shooting on hot sunny days then on the cold freezing ones.

Sports Photography: Utah High School Lacrosse: Bountiful vs Jordan

2009-04-28T15:03:00.003-06:00

I had the chance to head up to Salt Lake and shoot three of Bountiful's games this past weekend. They won the state championship last year so it was really fun watching them play. This particular game against Jordan they actually lost... which is their first lost to a team in state since their championship last year. I am hoping to catch a few of their playoff games coming up here in the next week or so.....

Sports Photography: Utah High School Lacrosse: American Fork vs Orem

2009-04-24T23:45:00.007-06:00

Sorry for the lack of posting this week, I have been really busy. Lots of lacrosse games which means lots of pictures to see! These are from the American Fork vs Orem game. It was a great game, American Fork won 8-7. I believe they were playing for the number one spot. View the rest of these at www.victoriaharris.zenfolio.com

Utah Landscape Photographer: Thistle

2009-04-18T17:51:00.007-06:00

My husband, a friend of ours, and I drove up to Thistle today and spent a few hours searching the ruins. It was so awesome. For those of you that don't know the story behind Thistle, it is a little town in Utah that was destroyed in 1983. A mudslide dammed the river near it and flooded the town. Everyone evacuated and there was so much water and damage that no one ever moved back. There was a house still underwater (partially) and an old crumbly schoolhouse. Why is it that old and ruined things make such interesting images? One of my favorite pictures is the genealogy letter we found in the back of this old car. I had a lot of fun getting some new images and it was nice to get outside and explore! Here is a link to check out more about Thistle here. Enjoy!

Colorado Family Photography: The Harker's

2009-04-17T14:52:00.004-06:00

While I was in Denver I had the chance to shoot the Harker family. We went down to Mainstreet and found some great places to shoot! They were so cute. Their outfits matched perfectly and the kids looked adorable. I had a blast doing these, and I am excited to begin doing more family shoots as the weather begins to warm up. Enjoy!

College Lacrosse: BYU vs. Utah State

2009-04-17T14:49:00.006-06:00

Lacrosse season is beginning to wind down, BYU has one more regular season game and then they are moving onto playoffs. They have had an interesting season losing to some teams they probably shouldn't have, and playing a great game and beating a team that I think many people thought they would lose. I am excited for nationals. It is in Denver this year and usually Denver in May means warm weather (with the occasional blizzard depending on the year). Lets hope for 80 degrees and some great lacrosse!

College Lacrosse: BYU vs. Chapman

2009-04-14T21:23:00.004-06:00

This was a huge game for BYU and possibly one of the most exciting games that I have watched them play in the past two years! It was a great game! And I went a little overboard with the pictures.... I took way more then I usually do, but there were some great images that came from the night. If you would like to view some more from this game visit www.victoriaharris.zenfolio.com

College Lacrosse: BYU vs Colorado

2009-04-08T21:58:00.002-06:00

I only shot the first half of this game because I was really sick.... and it was freezing. Colorado had great uniforms and when I was going through the images I realized all of their gloves had little buffaloes on them. I thought it was cool. My favorite image I have done all season is the black and white one at the top. Check out www.victoriaharris.zenfolio.com for the rest!

College Lacrosse: BYU vs Michigan State

2009-04-08T21:54:00.002-06:00

I had never been to Michigan until this trip. It was very different from Utah or Colorado! There were two great lacrosse games, here are the images from the Michigan State game, I ended up with tons of pictures! Check out www.victoriaharris.zenfolio.com for the rest!

College Lacrosse: BYU vs. UCSB

2009-03-25T20:40:00.002-06:00

I finally got to shoot the BYU mens team again earlier this week! I missed some of their games due to my Denver trip. This was a fun, but freezing game!

Colorado High School Lacrosse: Chaparral vs Cherry Creek

2009-03-25T11:45:00.002-06:00

This past week I traveled to Denver to shoot some high school lacrosse games. It was a very busy week, but fun. Sometimes when I am shooting lacrosse I get really into the game and have to restrain myself from cheering from one team or another. I guess that is what happens when you don't get to play anymore. At least I have found a great way to stay closely connected with the game :)

College Lacrosse: BYU Women

2009-03-25T11:26:00.001-06:00

I had the chance to shoot one more BYU womens game this season. Unfortunately I did not get to shoot their team as much as I would have liked to. They played well and are a very young team. I look forward to seeing what they do in the next few seasons... and I know of someone that is going to be an amazing asset to their team next year.....

Utah High School Lacrosse: Lehi vs. Copper Hills

2009-03-14T17:55:00.001-06:00

Utah High School Lacrosse: American Fork v. West Jordan

2009-03-14T15:50:00.001-06:00

Lots of high school lacrosse this past week! I have been really behind with blogging and getting images online. I am leaving town this week to shoot a few games in Denver so hopefully when I return I will get caught up! Enjoy!

College Lacrosse: BYU Men and Women v. Wyoming

2009-03-11T18:35:00.002-06:00

Lots of lacrosse this past weekend, and even more to post after this week! Lets just hope the weather starts warming up because the last few games have been absolutely freezing!

Utah High School Lacrosse:Timpview vs. Pleasant Grove Boys Lacrosse

2009-03-04T18:07:00.001-07:00

First high school game I have shot this season! I love lacrosse, and the next best thing to not being able to play anymore is being on the sideline shooting. Too bad this was just a scrimmage, I wish Timpview had their uniforms on, but they have a game again soon so I look forward to shooting their team again with their jerseys on!

College Lacrosse: BYU v. Claremont

2009-02-28T23:45:00.001-07:00

Nice win for the Cougars today against Claremont! Lots of guys got to play which means I was able to get pictures of most of the team! Looking forward to next weekends games!

College Lacrosse: BYU vs. Simon Fraser

2009-02-28T18:45:00.001-07:00

I forgot to post some images from the BYU/ Simon Fraser game last weekend. It was well..... one of the sloppiest lacrosse games that I have ever watched. BYU did not play to their potential and Simon Fraser capitalized on it.

Colorado and Utah Engagement Photography Special!!

Childrens Photography Utah: Baby "B"

2009-02-20T13:19:00.001-07:00

I love shooting children. Each child is always so different and it makes the shoot so much fun following them around as they do their own thing. This was a fun day because she had not yet learned how to crawl so instead she rolls across the floor to get around. We had lots of fun!

Teen Photography Utah: Blustery Day with Sarah

2009-02-20T13:15:00.004-07:00

Sarah and I had so much fun on her shoot! We took them at her sister's house and there were some awesome places for photos due to the backgrounds. It was SO cold though and windy. I hate hate hate the wind and it looked like I was crying my eyes were so watery! Here are a few that I love from her shoot!

College Lacrosse: University of Denver Tournament

2009-02-13T14:22:00.003-07:00

These are images from the BYU games in Denver two weekends ago against Air Force and The University of Denver. Enjoy, images from the Simon Fraser game will be up this week!

College Lacrosse: Spring is here.... well almost. But Lacrosse is!

2009-02-05T11:55:00.001-07:00

Well spring is on its way and that means lacrosse is starting! BYU had their first scrimmage on Saturday against the University of Utah. They are headed to Denver tomorrow to face off against the University of Denver and Air Force Academy. I am looking forward to some great games and even better opportunities for pictures! I can't wait, should be a nice weekend, 60's and sunny with lots of lacrosse! Stay updated with lacrosse action {photos} this Spring at www.byulacrosse.zenfolio.com. {this domain will change soon to accommodate the other teams that I will be shooting besides BYU}

Teen Photography Colorado: Cute Cute Cute!

2009-02-05T11:21:00.001-07:00

"R" and I had so much fun on this shoot! It was a pretty exciting day for her.... she had just had her braces taken off! So school pictures seemed like a must! We decided that it would be fun to do the shoot at a little barn near her home. The red background made for some great images and then we headed downtown for a few shots as the sun was setting. She is a doll, I look forward to next time!

Colorado Family Photography: The Ermisch Family

2009-01-11T15:06:00.001-07:00

I had so much fun with this family! It was freezing outside, but their kids were troopers and were so much fun to shoot! Here are a few favorites from their session :)

Colorado and Utah Photography: New website!

2009-01-11T14:53:00.001-07:00

I spent a good portion of this past week updating my website. I wish we could add a few more hours onto each day because I never seem to have enough time! There will be a few more changes to come in the next few weeks so keep your eye out for them! My image galleries are going to be broken up into a few categories so if your looking for examples of children's photography you wont have to sift through engagements and family portraits.

Coming Soon!

2009-01-03T20:26:00.000-07:00

I am in the process of updating my website! Come back in a few days to see all of the changes!
