Conversations with Aaron Harris

Today we’d like to introduce you to Aaron Harris

Hi Aaron, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?

I am 21 years old and moved from Michigan to Phoenix at 17 to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Film Media and Production at Grand Canyon University. Now a senior, I am set to graduate in April 2025. During my first year of film school in 2021, I began exploring photography and editing, offering free or discounted shoots to friends and followers to build my portfolio while refining & learning my skills watching youtube tutorials and what I learned in Film School.

In early 2022, I launched 313Lee Studio, creating a website to showcase my portfolio, rates, and booking calendar. This step opened doors for me to book clients for graduation portraits, weddings, and individual portrait sessions. In 2023, a portrait client needed photos & commercials for her salon, which provided an opportunity to expand into commercial photography. This experience helped me attract more clients for commercial shoots, video production, and editing, leading to the creation of 313Lee Productions. Through this venture, I now offer comprehensive media services tailored to businesses.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
One of the biggest obstacles I’ve faced has been maintaining balance between work, school, and marketing. Juggling these responsibilities required careful time management, discipline, and a clear sense of priorities. I learned to maximize every moment, whether it was focusing on school assignments, delivering quality results for my clients, or promoting my brand through marketing efforts. This experience taught me resilience and adaptability—skills that not only helped me overcome challenges but also enhanced my creativity and problem-solving abilities. By staying organized and committed to my goals, I’ve been able to thrive in all areas while continuing to grow both personally and professionally.
