Trudie and Brian are the best in the industry, hands down. I worked with them at two of my previous employers and everyone was very impressed by their talent. One of our senior leaders even said to me that she had never been so happy with a photo of herself. They are fun, fast, creative, very experienced, and most important of all, kind. They recently helped me with a very small project for a non-profit and offered a great rate. They go above and beyond for their clients and I highly recommend giving them a call for any project - they will make it a huge success.

Great studio and Staff. Trudie was my photographer and she was amazing. Friendly, fun, and made you feel at ease. Lots of street parking and some parking in the back. Highly recommended Harder Lee Photography.

I was fortunate enough to work with both Trudie and Brian at a shoot yesterday. I have little to no photoshoot experience and both of them did an amazing job at making me feel at ease in front of the camera. They both care deeply about getting the perfect shot and you can see that they take great pride in their work. I would definitely use their services again! Thank you so much!

I have worked with Brian and Trudie several times over the last 13 years or so. I can say that they have been professional and courteous in every case. Brian captures a crispness and vigour when shooting our architectural design work. He helps us and our work look better.

I've worked with Harder Lee Photography on at least a dozen projects and would work with them on a dozen more. Brian has always been excellent at getting the shots we needed and making the product look fantastic. He is very skilled, easy to work with, always working to get the best shots possible.

Brian Harder has worked with Parlee McLaws for over a decade capturing images of our lawyers in a professional, and engaging manner. In 2014 we asked Brian to assist with two technically challenging and unique projects outside of the normal scope of our photography needs and he executed them both perfectly. We appreciate Brian’s responsiveness as well as the quality and consistency he brings to every project.

I really enjoyed working with Brian and his team. I was very pleased with the quality of the images. Brian was great at working with our field employees. He has a unique way of drawing personality out of what could otherwise be a dark and uninspiring industrial image.
