Sentimental Maternity Session: Megan and Rick

August 12, 2014/by kmiller

I’m always pleased to received referrals from past clients and when Megan and Rick called, it was clear I was in for a special treat. They recently bought a farm and are in the middle of restoring it and then some! And they wanted their maternity photos to take place in the space that’s most special to them, where they are making plans to raise their son.

Here’s a belly shot that we did by the window in their bedroom.

We scheduled for June, about five- to six-weeks before Megan’s due date. The majority of the session took place outdoors and Megan was a trooper, navigating the terrain in the heat. And Rick was so attentive, driving us from location to location and helping us in and out of the SUV. They had some locations in mind and we went for it. Here are a few favorites from their session.

This next image was my idea, we were driving from one location to the next and I was struck by the beauty of the woods. Plus, I love walking shots!

And here they are in their rye field. How cool will it be for them to look back at this someday? I love how snuggly they are with each other.

More to come from their newborn session in the future!

If you or someone you know is interested in maternity or newborn photography, please contact me. I’d love to hear from you!

Introducing Little B!

January 28, 2013/by kmiller

I’m finally taking some time to introduce the little guy who has been my muse over the past four months. He has many nicknames ranging from Angel Baby to Crab Cake, but his blog name will be Little B. I think it took me so long to post photos of him on my blog because there are always more photos that I want to create. In fact, I just processed and retouched two more photos before sitting down to write this post. I guess you could say he’s my special on-going photo project that will last as long as he lets me. So here are some of my very favorites starting somewhere around two weeks old.

I know someday he’ll really dislike this photo below, but I hope he’ll eventually get a laugh out of it.

And here he is for his dedication with his Daddy!

Couldn’t resist a photo with the Miller jersey!

I was so excited that he could sit up in this chair—it’s a family heirloom. And I can’t help but brag because he is looking pretty dapper for his Christmas portrait.

I mentioned that he’s my muse for photos, but he’s also inspired me to get in touch with my crafty side. So in addition to snapping his photo, I’ve been sewing like a mad woman and made him this bomber jacket and aviator hat. He wasn’t too crazy about sitting in the chair so I didn’t push it by waiting for him to smile. Plus, I think I’ll like seeing his melancholy face some day when I’m looking back. I know most people like to see their baby smiling in photos, but I want to remember all of his precious faces.

I love finding things that I can sit him in or use to prop him up. And this suitcase from my mom and throw blanket from my sister were a perfect match.

That’s it for now. I’ll be sure to share more as we go. But for the moment, I think I’d just like to cuddle him.

Cute-As-A-Button Newborn Photos

April 13, 2012/by kmiller

I know the title to this post is a bit boastful, but I think I can get away with it as a proud aunt. I got to visit my sweet niece, Kynleigh, just about a month ago and she is an absolute bundle of cuteness. Normally, I like to do newborn portraits in the studio, but with my sister living four hours away, this session was definitely going to be on-location at my sister’s home in Baltimore. After a day or so of cuddling with her, my mom, sister and I unloaded my car full of gear and props and made a crazy mess of my sister’s living room. It took a while for little Kynleigh to adjust to the change of scenery, but once she settled in we had so much fun! Here are a few favorites from our session:

Kynleigh has no shortage of cute accessories and this bunny hat is perfect for a springtime baby. My sister made prints of this image as Easter gifts for our mom and her mother-in-law.

I think this one above is my favorite. I love how she is cuddling her arms close to her face.

We, very carefully, placed Kynleigh in this hammock. What you don’t see is my mom laying on the floor beneath her and my sister close at her side. I know that hammock is very secure, but there’s something unnerving about seeing a newborn suspended underneath a small tree branch, so we take every precaution.

Just some more cuteness. I think she was actually quite comfy hanging there.

And last, but not least, we put her in this apple cocoon. This little one could snooze! It was at least a full four hours of changing her accessories, moving her, and posing her, intermixed with the usual needs of a newborn such as feeding and changing. She was pretty tuckered out and was like clay in my hands!

Wedding photography products by Captivating Imagery

March 28, 2009/by kmiller

Because digital wedding photography is relatively new in the grand scheme of things, I thought I’d show the Captivating Imagery products that are included with the engagement sessions and wedding photography packages.

Engagement sessions and each of the wedding photography packages come with a CD or DVD containing the edited, ready-to-print digital images. DVDs are used to hold more/larger files. If your computer does not read DVDs, please indicated the need for CDs.

The DVD is labeled with a couple’s names and date and printed with a photo from the engagement session or wedding.

Albums are available as part of the Traditional and Premium Wedding Packages. They can also be ordered separately through Captivating Imagery. Clients can view the album design online as part of the review process before the album is created.
