Simply put, so we can serve you better. Registering with Harbor Country Photography helps us, and it benefits you. You get access to all the features on the site, including package and a la carte prices, special offers and events, proofs of your photography sessions, and the showcases of various images.

By sharing your contact information with us, we can contact you with special offers, let you know when you proofs are ready, and keep you up-to-date on Harbor Country Photography events, and remind you of important opportunities for you and the people in your life.

We promise to never, ever, sell, rent, lend, lease, or give away your personal information, because we are committed to a 100% spam free environment. We will only contact you periodically, usually no more than once a month, and will immediately remove you from the mailing list at your request.

We work with you to make the schedule work for you. After all, it is you that are going to be the center of attention!

We often schedule our outdoor creative sessions in the first hours after sunrise or the last hours before sunset to take advantage of the softer morning and evening light that wraps you in warm golden colors. Indoors, we have more flexibility, but regardless of location, your session will always reflect the best possible lighting conditions consistent with your schedule.

We can also be convinced to schedule creative sessions at night, weekends, and holidays, depending on availability. We'll work with you to help you decide what you want, and then we'll schedule a creative session designed to produce the images that make you look great!

To answer that question, you need to meet Brad Williamson. Brad is the founder, owner, and principal photographer for Harbor Country Photography.

A member of the Professional Photographers of America and Wedding & Portrait Photographers International, Brad has been crafting photographs for over 30 years.

His first exposure to professional photography was in the late 70’s shooting weddings and stock photography in Vermont and the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York.

Eight years in the Navy provided the opportunity to test his eye around the globe. He served as ship’s photographer on-board SSN-680, the fast attack submarine William H. Bates.

The discipline of the Navy honed his craft. Photographing the crew on liberty in exotic locations, executing the ship's mission, conducting military exercises, and scuba diving around the Pacific and Indian Oceans, produced tens of thousands of images, not counting the ones forever classified as military secrets.

Almost twenty years back in the real world, a wife and four children later, licensed to operate a nuclear power plant, president of a corporate investigative company consulting to major utilities across the nation, were the responsibilities that had taken him a long way from the craft he once loved.

It took an unexpected opportunity that re-kindled the creative fire that had once burned within. Collaboration in writing movie scripts resulted in an invitation from Paladin Pictures to co-direct the full-length independent film, "When Love Walks In."

The challenge of coordinating a cast and crew of about 65, combined with the creative demands of crafting a visual story, were the missing pieces needed to steer Brad back to his skill with light and narrative.

Today, while you will occasionally find Brad leading an investigation at a nuclear utility, or referreeing a soccer game, you will usually find him behind a camera. Film, digital, or motion picture, high on a crane, underwater or on location, what matters is that he is working with light.

He will be the first to tell you, however, that it isn’t always about what it seems to be about. In his words then…

"The word photography comes from the Greek, meaning to write with light, and while the light is important, it’s never about the light.

It is about the story, the narrative, the bringing forth of what we would say. If we write with light, we do so to tell a story.

To create an image that contains within its borders the beginning and the end, all the mystery and the drama, all of what we hope and what we fear, and when we are done drinking it in, leaves us yearning for more.

It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words…I dream of images that transcend millions…"
