For starters, there are already too many Millers in the biz and we don't want to be confused with any others. Our future focus is going to involve a lot more studio work (studiocentric), plus we're a bit eccentric, so the new name just fits! Yes? Yes!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Arial;">Cheers!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Arial;">P.S.

Four days of nearly non-stop (we're talking 10 a.m. to 4 a.m.) photography and hanging out with some of the world's top photographers was beyond exhausting and overwhelming. But it was invaluable. Not just for the knowledge and experience gained, but for the friends I made there. I found my "brat pack" (Cristal from OK, Angela, Eve and Chris from VA) and then added an additional friend on the last day (Trisha) who happens to live in the opposite end of the Phx Valley (see ya soon!). <br /><br />I made friends among many of the mentors, but an extra huge thanks goes out to "Dinger" (aka <a href="http://www.ridingerphoto.com/">Mike Ridinger</a>) who let me follow him around like a duckling and ask a million questions. I got to see my childhood friend and amazing photographer/mentor <a href="http://www.wenmcnally.com/">Wen McNally</a> and her always entertaining husband, Sean.<br /><br />I also learned a lot at an image critique from <a href="http://www.arlundimagery.com/">Chuckie Arlund</a> (who said one of my photos reminded him of a photo of Francis Bean Cobain--i nearly fell over. <a href="http://millermillerphotography.blogspot.com/2010/08/gift-for-my-mom.html">Click here to see it</a>.) and<a href="http://www.theimagefile.com/web/martingrahamedunn/martins_gallery.html"> Martin Grahame-Dunn</a>, a highly-acclaimed international photographer and classical artist who said one of my photos (below) was almost a "contemporary Mona Lisa." I did fall over at that. DON'T BE TOO CHICKEN TO DO AN IMAGE CRITIQUE! Yes, it's SCARY having some of the best photographers in the world critique your images, but hello! What an invaluable learning opportunity! <br /><br />My "contemporary Mona Lisa" :<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/TJOEfCHAMJI/AAAAAAAACZc/cEnlSw8dxf8/s1600/MIL_8490.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" qx="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/TJOEfCHAMJI/AAAAAAAACZc/cEnlSw8dxf8/s320/MIL_8490.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Some photos I made at ADE Portland:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/TJOELk5ONSI/AAAAAAAACY0/U6lNKy-i-os/s1600/MIL_6954.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" qx="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/TJOELk5ONSI/AAAAAAAACY0/U6lNKy-i-os/s640/MIL_6954.jpg" width="403" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/TJOENGUJwDI/AAAAAAAACY8/xycLSbojOx8/s1600/MIL_6958.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" qx="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/TJOENGUJwDI/AAAAAAAACY8/xycLSbojOx8/s640/MIL_6958.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/TJOEPqxiQSI/AAAAAAAACZE/qfEmak8S8NQ/s1600/MIL_6993.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" qx="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/TJOEPqxiQSI/AAAAAAAACZE/qfEmak8S8NQ/s640/MIL_6993.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/TJOERfFfczI/AAAAAAAACZM/9ntPS3s1MsY/s1600/MIL_7141.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" qx="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/TJOERfFfczI/AAAAAAAACZM/9ntPS3s1MsY/s640/MIL_7141.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And this is one of my new bff's, Angela Douglas:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/TJOETKgTS7I/AAAAAAAACZU/__uKk5bPimE/s1600/MIL_6960.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" qx="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/TJOETKgTS7I/AAAAAAAACZU/__uKk5bPimE/s640/MIL_6960.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="http://mypicturesofyou.com/">Miller&Miller Photography</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11348431876530935-3230221958492563524?l=millermillerphotography.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>sandi StudioCentricnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11348431876530935.post-73094329206178313262010-09-04T09:02:00.002-07:002010-09-11T14:31:05.526-07:00So I Get Up at 5:30 a.m. to Go Running...<div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">...and as I'm hydrating myself {insufficiently, as it turned out}, my 16-year-old daughter comes in and says she's ready for pictures. At 5:30 a.m. The thought crossed my mind to ask her to wait until after my run, since, if I delayed my run much longer it would already be too hot to go as far as I wanted. However, knowing how ridiculously difficult it is to get Allie in front of the camera, I knew that wasn't an option. I put down my water and picked up my camera. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Allie doesn't like "standard" looking photos of herself.

I thought they were "cute," maybe even a little too much so for my taste. I've been using the same two <a href="http://www.tiffen.com/products.html?tablename=domke">Domke bags</a> for over 10 years and they're still as tough and rugged as the day I bought them. The only complaint I have about my Domke bags is that, when full of gear, they are very difficult for me to travel with (especially on planes). I refuse to check gear and always carry it on board with me. Only problem is: the weight. With two camera bodies, a battery grip, 2 flashes, huge battery pack for Trio flash, cords, 4-5 lenses (including the very heavy 70-200mm f/2.8 VRII), plus other odds and ends, my shoulders are screaming in pain by the time I get through security and plant myself on the plane. I considered finding a collapsible rolling thing-a-ma-bob for my Domkes, but then thought, "Eh, it's been over a decade since I bought a new bag. And I deserve a new bag!"<br /><br />So, remembering the jill-e bags, I perused the website and didn't find anything I liked, until I clicked on the "Jack" bags. The <a href="http://www.jill-e.com/jack/lrg_jack.html">Jack large rolling bag</a> is good-looking and roomy enough to fit all my necessary gear (plus laptop). <br /><br />My bag arrived today from <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/">B&H</a> (where you'll find much better pricing than on the jill-e website). I got the brown leather and it's quite a good-looking bag. I loaded my gear, extended the handle and rolled it around the room. Ahhhhh. My shoulders are happy already! Had I been able to see the bag in person, I would've gone with the extra large (in order to fit in some rolled-up clothes along with my gear for ease of travel on short trips), but will make due with the large.<br /><br />The true test will be how well it travels. I'm headed to Portland, OR in a couple weeks for a very fun-filled photography event. I'll let you know my thoughts on the bag after the trip!<br /><br /><a href="http://mypicturesofyou.com/">Miller&Miller Photography</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11348431876530935-8306982975663017030?l=millermillerphotography.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>sandi StudioCentricnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11348431876530935.post-75065798476919827772010-09-01T07:24:00.002-07:002010-09-01T07:26:12.231-07:00The End of an Era<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;">.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I received a message from an old friend today. He sent me a link to an article about the passing of E-6 (slide) film. I got all nostalgic; I still have all the slides I made during a critique class almost a dozen years ago. Shooting on slide film was the most fun I've ever had photographically. Even though I would probably have never shot slide film again, I'm pretty sad the possibility is gone.

Be sure to "suggest" our page to all your friends! (The suggest button is under the profile picture on our page).<br /><br /><strong>Details</strong>: One lucky winner will come to our studio in San Tan Valley (you must be willing to travel to us; it's east of Queen Creek, AZ, near Ironwood and Ocotillo, sooooo...you Virginians are probably out, hehe) and have a Social Profile Session which takes ~15 minutes to shoot. From the photos, you will receive 2 free (a $50 value; you get to choose which 2) in low-resolution for posting on your social profile page (Facebook, MySpace, your blog, etc.). To see an example of a Social Profile Session, see the "Michael B." photo album on our fanpage (also on this blog).<br /><br /><strong>Fine Print</strong>: the images you receive are for online use only and may not be printed. If you would like, you may purchase prints of the images from us, but it is not required. If you would like more than 2 images for your social profile page, you will have the option to purchase more. There will be no sales pressure, just pure fun!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://mypicturesofyou.com/">Miller&Miller Photography</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11348431876530935-4112758824395233249?l=millermillerphotography.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>sandi StudioCentricnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11348431876530935.post-78812472997404268052010-08-19T21:30:00.001-07:002010-08-19T21:31:38.867-07:00In the Studio with Michael B.<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;">.</span><br />I love it when I have someone in the studio and he { or she } says something along the lines of, "I don't photograph well," or "I don't look good in pictures."

And for Bryce, who had never met his granny (my mom) before (my teens go every summer). Those two had so much fun together! My mom misses him so much now that we're back in AZ. Mom's not online, so I can't just email her photos whenever I want. And, I'm ashamed to admit, I suck at sending her printed photos. So, I thought I would make her something special. Here's a picture for my mom that captures the essence of Bryce: cooler than cool, funny, thoughtful. He is quite a character!</div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" bx="true" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/TF184QV-iDI/AAAAAAAACS8/xkeuXpyg_X4/s640/MIL_6138t.jpg" width="456" /></div><br /><br /><a href="http://mypicturesofyou.com/">Miller&Miller Photography</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11348431876530935-6039059273364678768?l=millermillerphotography.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>sandi StudioCentricnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11348431876530935.post-86019552934053546312010-07-31T06:27:00.004-07:002010-07-31T06:27:00.127-07:00Softness<span style="color: black;">.</span><br />Sometimes bright, bold colors are just too much and a subtle softness will suffice.

During my June trip to Virginia, I had the divine pleasure of hanging out with Wen and playing in her studio and in the woods behind her studio.

Poor Ean, though. I made him stand in the doorway of an old shed. It will henceforth and forever be known as the Tick Shed. Ean noticed a tick crawling up his leg after a few shots, so I told him to just get out of there. He walked toward his mom and they picked 14 ticks off him! FOURTEEN!

Lots more editing still to go!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/S9We7zAep9I/AAAAAAAACDs/V4jmsd_WhAA/s1600/MIL_2214-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/S9We7zAep9I/AAAAAAAACDs/V4jmsd_WhAA/s640/MIL_2214-2.jpg" tt="true" width="426" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/S9WfAEGq-_I/AAAAAAAACD0/5F0BbaakcAY/s1600/MIL_2219-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/S9WfAEGq-_I/AAAAAAAACD0/5F0BbaakcAY/s640/MIL_2219-2.jpg" tt="true" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/S9WfEZb93FI/AAAAAAAACD8/4VCD9FX3ing/s1600/MIL_2247.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/S9WfEZb93FI/AAAAAAAACD8/4VCD9FX3ing/s640/MIL_2247.jpg" tt="true" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/S9WfJXggtlI/AAAAAAAACEE/YilxWFLx85g/s1600/MIL_2253.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/S9WfJXggtlI/AAAAAAAACEE/YilxWFLx85g/s640/MIL_2253.jpg" tt="true" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/S9WfLx5dZZI/AAAAAAAACEM/stOdaLwQdG4/s1600/MIL_2257.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/S9WfLx5dZZI/AAAAAAAACEM/stOdaLwQdG4/s640/MIL_2257.jpg" tt="true" width="426" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/S9WfQKXjdwI/AAAAAAAACEU/He1DQepOAOg/s1600/MIL_2258.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/S9WfQKXjdwI/AAAAAAAACEU/He1DQepOAOg/s640/MIL_2258.jpg" tt="true" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/S9Wfb0fYDBI/AAAAAAAACEc/0Ab4Bc3Wyy8/s1600/MIL_2305bw.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/S9Wfb0fYDBI/AAAAAAAACEc/0Ab4Bc3Wyy8/s640/MIL_2305bw.jpg" tt="true" width="426" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/S9Wfejs4gtI/AAAAAAAACEk/pUNyT_D--Ok/s1600/MIL_2326.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/S9Wfejs4gtI/AAAAAAAACEk/pUNyT_D--Ok/s640/MIL_2326.jpg" tt="true" width="426" /></a></div><br /><br /><a href="http://mypicturesofyou.com/">Miller&Miller Photography</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11348431876530935-286115340537976511?l=millermillerphotography.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>sandi StudioCentricnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11348431876530935.post-83589788587983323732010-04-20T22:18:00.000-07:002010-04-20T22:18:21.124-07:00New Toys are Fun!I'm playing with a green screen.

I know I did one on a Victoria's Secret bra a while back, but I've found a bra even better. Soooo much better! It's the Calvin Klein T-shirt bra. I found it for like $15 at TJ Maxx (they carry odd sizes, and I'm an odd size...with issues, too!). This bra is smooth, hides well under tight-fitting shirts, very well formed, fits amazingly, has amazing support, and is extremely comfortable. If you're unhappy with your current bra, I highly recommend this one! <br /><br /><a href="http://www.cku.com/search/index.jsp?kwCatId=&kw=t-shirt%20bra&origkw=t-shirt%20bra&sr=1">CKU t-shirt bra</a><br /><br /><a href="http://mypicturesofyou.com/">Miller&Miller Photography</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11348431876530935-448414716919919783?l=millermillerphotography.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>sandi StudioCentricnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11348431876530935.post-2655766051155565762010-04-05T08:12:00.001-07:002010-04-05T08:12:56.998-07:00Hilarious Family Portrait Session in Mesa, AZ<span style="color: black;">.</span><br /><br />There were several moments throughout this session that i was laughing so hard, i actually had trouble composing a photo.

What can I say? I like to dance?<br /><br />When I was in high school (millions of years ago), there was an underage club in Richmond, VA called The Cellar Door. It was an interesting place; the music alternated from hip-hop (not my thing) to punk/new wave (my thing) every half hour. The demographic of the dancefloor cycled continually throughout the night. <br /><br />My bff, Jennifer, and I would punk out and hit the Door every Saturday night (sometimes Fridays, too, but the crowd was better on Saturdays). I really looked forward to it...really really really (read: hot punk boys)! Sometimes afterward, we'd converge on the Burger King up the street, or sneak through the Fan (a district of Richmond where 2 teen girls should definitely not have been out in alone after midnight) or Hollywood Cemetery.<br /><br />I've loved dancing from the Door days on. I didn't go out much after high school...college and work took most of my time. Then I joined the Air Force and didn't go out clubbing until I hit Misawa, Japan. I know this will sound improbable, but that small farming town had one of the BEST Goth clubs EVER! It was called The Garage and a couple of Americans dj'ed there, Basil and later, Jose. Of all my hang-outs, The Garage is my all-time favorite. I had some amazing friends there. Great times!<br /><br />I kinda have the clubbing itch, ya know? <br /><br /><a href="http://mypicturesofyou.com/">Miller&Miller Photography</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11348431876530935-2109332320900673554?l=millermillerphotography.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>sandi StudioCentricnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11348431876530935.post-85801608054840957352010-03-14T14:17:00.000-07:002010-03-14T14:17:39.759-07:00Creating a Stir - Modeling/Senior Portraits Williams Field High SchoolI think these speak for themselves ;o)<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/S51RPtSiHgI/AAAAAAAAB9s/zs0m7emdtGE/s640/MIL_1177.jpg" vt="true" width="426" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/S51RRtazXpI/AAAAAAAAB90/VLHaYXK2yIA/s640/MIL_1197.jpg" vt="true" width="640" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/S51RV-0hT6I/AAAAAAAAB98/KSTX97kwwl4/s640/MIL_1213.jpg" vt="true" width="426" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/S51RZrpUxDI/AAAAAAAAB-E/-T53TNiD3Vc/s640/MIL_1275.jpg" vt="true" width="426" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/S51Rc-d5TRI/AAAAAAAAB-M/LoAHnEhjQh8/s640/MIL_1278bw.jpg" vt="true" width="426" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/S51RgXzwceI/AAAAAAAAB-U/XRRFtx6yobQ/s640/MIL_1310bw.jpg" vt="true" width="640" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/S51RiQtIMjI/AAAAAAAAB-c/7vRXWkpaBj8/s640/MIL_1313.jpg" vt="true" width="426" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/S51RkOzR8YI/AAAAAAAAB-k/Mq06v7m2IXw/s640/MIL_1331bw.jpg" vt="true" width="640" /></div><br /><a href="http://mypicturesofyou.com/">Miller&Miller Photography</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11348431876530935-8580160805484095735?l=millermillerphotography.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>sandi StudioCentricnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11348431876530935.post-35904329232322239152010-03-10T21:08:00.002-07:002010-03-10T21:12:59.042-07:00With or Without Face Tattoo?<span style="color: black;">.</span><br />Okay, not really a face tattoo...just some extra embellishment.

Thanks. I needed to get that out. First my teen daughter was taken to the ER and admitted for 2 days for being on the brink of DKA (she has type ONE diabetes, which is an auto-immune disease NOT caused by diet and unpreventable and which requires insulin to stay alive). Then, yesterday, after my morning shoot and on the way to my late afternoon shoot, my teen son called to say his tooth had been half broken off and his lip was cut clean through. Long story short: another ER visit and one urban session rescheduled. There's lots more work to be done on the tooth; stitches took care of the inside and outside of his lip (which is so swollen it's unrecognizable). Poor kids; rough week. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">So, back to photography. The session I did Saturday morning (which I'm still processing, since the ER visit threw my schedule off) was with a family I did a studio session with a couple weeks ago. The urban session with them was SO FUN! Their little man was tons happier in the great outdoors than he was in the studio. Here a few sneak peeks; more later...if I find time to post. </div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/S5QIdwjpZjI/AAAAAAAAB8U/48j9PevEGQc/s1600-h/MIL_0977.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" kt="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/S5QIdwjpZjI/AAAAAAAAB8U/48j9PevEGQc/s640/MIL_0977.jpg" width="640" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/S5QIg9ZnsCI/AAAAAAAAB8c/4VnwcfW89Xw/s1600-h/MIL_0984bw.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" kt="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/S5QIg9ZnsCI/AAAAAAAAB8c/4VnwcfW89Xw/s640/MIL_0984bw.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/S5QIiqGi_qI/AAAAAAAAB8k/CZbwP4F6Bmo/s1600-h/MIL_1063.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="438" kt="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/S5QIiqGi_qI/AAAAAAAAB8k/CZbwP4F6Bmo/s640/MIL_1063.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/S5QImMFXZEI/AAAAAAAAB8s/_nDF_s0x1hs/s1600-h/MIL_1109.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" kt="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/S5QImMFXZEI/AAAAAAAAB8s/_nDF_s0x1hs/s640/MIL_1109.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://mypicturesofyou.com/">Miller&Miller Photography</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11348431876530935-3457081167633751259?l=millermillerphotography.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>sandi StudioCentricnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11348431876530935.post-64352858235466032982010-03-04T12:30:00.000-07:002010-03-04T12:30:42.110-07:00Look at That! Two Posts in a Row! Fun Teen Portraits in San Tan Valley, Gilbert Arizona<div style="text-align: justify;">A couple months ago, I received an email from a girl named Monica. She wanted info on a portrait session, and I sent it to her. Week after week, she would tell me she was going to "come on Wednesday" if I was available for a session that day. And week after week, she would email me to tell me her mom couldn't bring her. I could just imagine her arguing with her mom at home. hehe. Her persistence paid off. Mom finally brought Monica over for portraits yesterday. Here are a few from her combo (urban and studio) session:</div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="426" kt="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/S5AJdFWvUQI/AAAAAAAAB7c/DX1P5fb0-oU/s640/MIL_0732.jpg" width="640" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="426" kt="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/S5AJfFnJQKI/AAAAAAAAB7k/WO0px3SoUjM/s640/MIL_0756bw.jpg" width="640" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="426" kt="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/S5AJhOrZqFI/AAAAAAAAB7s/q-MikeHLusM/s640/MIL_0764bw.jpg" width="640" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" kt="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/S5AJjksBHHI/AAAAAAAAB70/N-ofs-U47qU/s640/MIL_0783.jpg" width="426" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="426" kt="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/S5AJn_ACBfI/AAAAAAAAB78/r3vC79Ya4fQ/s640/MIL_0816bw.jpg" width="640" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="426" kt="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/S5AJqkgrODI/AAAAAAAAB8E/u2Ds50lMr8c/s640/MIL_0823bw.jpg" width="640" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" kt="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/S5AJuerUAAI/AAAAAAAAB8M/zJo44OK8gV4/s640/MIL_0844.jpg" width="414" /></div><br /><br /><a href="http://mypicturesofyou.com/">Miller&Miller Photography</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11348431876530935-6435285823546603298?l=millermillerphotography.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>sandi StudioCentricnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11348431876530935.post-61196049300944689022010-03-03T14:02:00.001-07:002010-03-03T14:02:33.833-07:00Blog Neglect and Red Mountain High School Senior Portraits<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;">.</span><br />My poor, dear blog, oh how I've been neglecting you lately!

He had a vast assortment of lenses and he gave me a huge zoom lens once. I was 20 and only owned one lens for my 35mm SLR until he gave me that one. It was such a great treat and meant so much to me. Now I have a vast array of professional quality lenses in my bag, but it's still fun and exciting getting new ones. Monday I have a creamy and delicious lens coming (the <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/644741-USA/Nikon_2185_AF_S_Zoom_Nikkor_70_200mm_f_2_8G.html">Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 VR II</a>) and I am SO EXCITED! <br /><br />Cheers to new toys!<br /><br /><a href="http://mypicturesofyou.com/">Miller&Miller Photography</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11348431876530935-5449699430709564113?l=millermillerphotography.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>sandi StudioCentricnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11348431876530935.post-83887992139268433392010-01-25T08:11:00.001-07:002010-01-25T08:12:16.486-07:00After the StormThe President has declared Arizona is in a state of emergency from the crazy storms we had last week. Our area was hit with a lot of rain and strong winds (we lost a tree), but we're in good shape. I guess other areas got it a lot worse. <br /><br />When the skies started to clear Saturday, Todd and I went out for a quick drive to grab a few shots of the dramatic clouds (and I sold one the same day!).

The odds of that happening are...well, let's just say you have a better chance at winning the lottery. So, I scanned in (on my cheap home scanner) one of the last photos I made in "the film days," back in 2004. It was taken on my little Contax Aria with a Zeiss lens, probably my 100mm macro. I do miss shooting with such high-quality lenses (although it's hard to tell from this crappy scan). But I thought this was a sweet mommy-daughter shot. The family portrait I did for them (they also have 3 boys) was enlarged to 30x40 (actually, I think it was larger, but I have a really bad memory) and has always been one of my favorites.<br /><br />I love that this was made on a cloudy day and the colors were subtle and somewhat muted. I think this shot would've been less interesting taken in full sun. <br /><br />And on that note, the skies in Arizona are crazy cool from this storm that's been entertaining us the past few days...get out there and make some photos!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="400" mt="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/S1n85M91A8I/AAAAAAAAB1c/9ENuFX_Y6gE/s400/erin-sammy.jpg" width="265" /><br /></div><br /><a href="http://mypicturesofyou.com/">Miller&Miller Photography</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11348431876530935-4879870674992583053?l=millermillerphotography.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>sandi StudioCentricnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11348431876530935.post-64293443288031307132010-01-20T14:52:00.001-07:002010-01-20T17:39:00.447-07:00A Special Valentine for Your Valentine - Boudoir Photography in ArizonaFor obvious reasons, I don't usually publically post images from boudoir sessions. I have special lighting I use just for those special occasions, along with other editing tricks and fun boudoir books to order. Since Valentine's Day is coming up, the first three people who book boudoir sessions before Feb. 1st will get $100 off her boudoir session. Your husband can thank me later!<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" mt="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/S1d5-A41TPI/AAAAAAAAB1U/I98FSqBytoA/s640/DSC_3079c.jpg" width="426" /><br /></div><br /><a href="http://mypicturesofyou.com/">Miller&Miller Photography</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11348431876530935-6429344328803130713?l=millermillerphotography.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>sandi StudioCentricnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11348431876530935.post-20356324913893751582010-01-19T13:17:00.002-07:002010-01-19T13:22:48.252-07:00Tip - How to Get Your Young Child to Pause for a Photo.<br /><br />Instructions below:<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/S1YTIZ3ZU8I/AAAAAAAAB1E/Faye5DP1p3A/s1600-h/cadburyegg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/S1YTIZ3ZU8I/AAAAAAAAB1E/Faye5DP1p3A/s640/cadburyegg.jpg" /></a><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/S1YTALxfETI/AAAAAAAAB08/OSSMWN58e7I/s640/MIL_9348.jpg" /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Okay, so I'm saying that in a very tongue-in-cheek way. But we've all experienced those trying moments when we really need to get a shot of a young child and they seem set on turning their backs on you, or picking thier noses, or crossing their eyes. While I don't recommend candy in every situation (and if it's not your child, definitely check with mom or dad first), it can certainly hold a lot of persuasive power. Another way to go is strapping a toy on top of your lens or bringing a "prize" (or a treasure chest of prizes) for the child to choose from once you've gotten your shots. <br /></div><br /><a href="http://mypicturesofyou.com/">Miller&Miller Photography</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11348431876530935-2035632491389375158?l=millermillerphotography.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>sandi StudioCentricnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11348431876530935.post-24198596878924604282010-01-18T14:27:00.000-07:002010-01-18T14:27:03.491-07:00Tip for Photographers - Dual Action White Balance and Cleaning ClothI know the popular item for white balance these days is the calibration target (which also tells you if you're clipping hilights or losing shadow detail), but I haven't bought into that, my in-camera histogram and "blinky alert" being sufficient. I know myself well enough to know I would never pull it out and use it. For what they are, they're a bit pricey, so it would just be a waste of money for me. I also have a cheap 18% gray card I bought back in oh, probably 1999 that I have pulled out to set a custom white balance all of probably 8 times in the 11 years I've owned it. It really is a handy tool, I just don't have huge issues with white balance typically, so....<br /><br />But if you're considering a calibration target or an 18% gray card for white balance, you might want to consider this handy item:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.adorama.com/CPCEG.html">http://www.adorama.com/CPCEG.html</a><br /><br />It's a lens cleaning cloth (which we should have in our bags at all times, anyway) that happens to be 18% gray, so you can use it to set a custom white balance, too! Handy, no? And at only $5.95, a real steal!<br /><br /><a href="http://mypicturesofyou.com/">Miller&Miller Photography</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11348431876530935-2419859687892460428?l=millermillerphotography.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>sandi StudioCentricnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11348431876530935.post-20367920301688042662010-01-15T08:18:00.001-07:002010-01-15T08:20:35.190-07:00Flashback Friday: There Are Places (and people) I RememberThis week, I've had the Beatles song, <em>In My Life</em>, looping through my head almost constantly. It happens when I find someone from the past who was important to me, or whom I really liked or admired. <br /><br />This week on facebook (if you're not on facebook, I highly recommend it!) I reconnected unexpectedly with three old friends. One of them was my first love (if you've read my unfinished autobiography, you know all about him!). We were 11 or 12, so it was completely innocent, of course (which makes it all the more sweet) but I truly and deeply loved him. He moved away, then I moved away and we never saw each other again. I never forgot him through the years, always wondering where he was, how he was doing, if he still looked the same. I even dreamed about him from time to time (mostly during difficult times. I guess he symbolized good things to me). Then suddenly this week on facebook (thank you Ash, for telling me you'd found him...and for knowing how excited I would be!) there he was. I can't describe how it feels to reconnect with people from a time in my life before the craziness of life set in and changed things, took away the innocence. Wow.<br /><br />Then I found my next-door dorm neighbor from DLI (we were studying Russian in the Air Force). She was hip, cool, outgoing, fun, adventurous, kind. She took several of us home to L.A. to stay with her parents a couple times. I loved them instantly and actually cried when it was time to leave (long back story there, let's just say I had a traumatic childhood and leave it at that. For now.) Seeing her face again brings back such happy memories.<br /><br />Then, I got a friend request from a crazy, funny, wild man I know from both DLI and Misawa, Japan. The only memories possible to have of him are happy, funny ones. He's hilarious and sometimes over-the-top (in the best of ways). I'm so amazed to hear all he's done with his time in the Air Force--he's done it all, even spent time in Afghanistan. He and his sweet and beautiful wife are still together and have two sons. I love happy stories! I'm so glad to hear from him! It sure brought back memories of amazing times. <br /><br /><br /><a href="http://mypicturesofyou.com/">Miller&Miller Photography</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11348431876530935-2036792030168804266?l=millermillerphotography.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>sandi StudioCentricnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11348431876530935.post-35572949271797771082010-01-11T07:42:00.000-07:002010-01-11T07:42:47.104-07:00TrainingMy husband loves photography as much as I do and reminds me frequently that I'm supposed to be training him a little more than I have been (and he's right!). He's been my assistant and second shooter for long enough. It's time for him to take on more of the process. So, we went out Saturday evening (as a prelude to date night at Costa Vida) and Todd shot some photos of me. Here are a few. What do you think of my hubby's mad skills? <br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/S0s37yjLwnI/AAAAAAAABzM/0AL2_3JkRZ8/s640/MIL_9287.jpg" /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/S0s3910LrII/AAAAAAAABzU/OJ6Xi3ta-kM/s640/MIL_9289.jpg" /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/S0s3-39AyeI/AAAAAAAABzc/2FdQ8u_w4_w/s640/MIL_9290.jpg" /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NCVpOqJJI_Q/S0s4BhHk02I/AAAAAAAABzk/zcAWIi5rPm0/s640/MIL_9293.jpg" /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And here's one I made of just the truck, a 1946 Ford F6.

I just found out today.<br /><br />Steve Fronapfel was my first supervisor in Misawa, Japan. Boy did he have a handful dealing with me! Let's just say I was a little obnoxious and didn't always follow Air Force regulations (particularly with hair, haha). Steve was always patient and kind toward me. He was one of the smartest guys I ever knew. He was very talented, too, and sold hand-painted Ukrainian Easter eggs (I think of him every year at Easter). Even though I was never good at keeping in touch, I never forgot Steve. He was truly a great guy and accomplished so much in his life.<br /><br />Here's to you, Steve! <br /><br /><br /><a href="http://mypicturesofyou.com/">Miller&Miller Photography</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11348431876530935-3845337009733568710?l=millermillerphotography.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>sandi StudioCentricnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11348431876530935.post-50593497639051319132010-01-05T13:52:00.000-07:002010-01-05T13:52:44.226-07:00Coleby - Artistic Portraits in ArizonaWhat a rock star!

Someday I might do just that. In the meantime, let me share a few of my favorite things about Japan. <br /><br />I lived in the small town of Misawa, Japan for two years (from age 19 to 21) while serving in the Air Force. When the C-130 landed on Misawa Air Base, I couldn't wait to get off that plane and start exploring off base. After the mandatory in-processing, I wandered the halls of my dorm, hoping to find someone to take me off base and show me a little bit of the town.<br /><br />Quickly enough, a nice airman named Russ took me out for my first peek at a very strange and foreign land. He was a great tour guide. Since he was dating a Japanese girl, he spoke the language pretty well and I loved hearing him communicating with the locals. Pretty soon, I was picking up word and phrases myself.<br /><br />I remember vividly the strange new smells and sights. I took in the vast differences between the United States and Japan. We checked out everything from clothing stores (where an extra-large Japanese shirt was just about my size--and I only weighed 100 lbs at the time!) to the grocery store (where watermelons were tiny and went for about $8 each, Fuji apples were as big--or bigger--than our grapefruits, and whole raw octopi were laid out on ice (ewwwww!). Japanese restaurants all had plastic versions of their meals displayed in the window. The side streets and alleys were NARROW--really narrow--I didn't see how two cars could fit without scraping each other, but somehow they managed. Construction vehicles were like Match Boxes compared to the hulking machinery back home. Everything was different and new. <br /><br />Soon, I was craving a visit to Tokyo (a 10-hour drive south). My bff Rene, my roommate Sue and I decided to drive down for a long weekend. In Japanese cars, there's an alarm bell that chimes if you exceed the "safe" speed limit, which (if I remember correctly) was around 60 km/hour (that's about 45 mph or so!). Need I say that we drove for 10 hours with that bell chiming? After a couple hours, we hardly even noticed it ;o) <br /><br />Tokyo was a wonderland of lights and people and amazing places. Harajuku was like a dream come true--an entire section of the city (kind of like a borough of New York) was completely punk. Punk music, punk stores, punk people (very cute on the Japanese, teehee)...love love LOVED IT! <br /><br />Clubbing in Tokyo was quite an adventure. Each trip, we would find a couple new clubs to try out. They were really big into the decor, which ranged from posh and frou-frou to just plain weird. Wish I had pictures of those places! <br /><br />If you ever get the chance...see Japan! You won't regret it! I'm going back someday (when my little guy is old enough to keep the memories). If you go, let me know; I'd love to hear about your adventure!<br /><br />smooch!<br />s<br /><br /><a href="http://mypicturesofyou.com/">Miller&Miller Photography</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11348431876530935-6676093997327174801?l=millermillerphotography.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>sandi StudioCentricnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11348431876530935.post-61045218324134753532009-11-10T08:45:00.002-07:002009-11-10T08:53:38.826-07:00The Crouch-Sandelin Family - Portraits on SlideshowDid you know...portrait sessions come with a free low-res on-line short video!

Our girls met in school and were fast friends. Soon our boys were hanging out, too. After a while, I got to know Gina better. She is one of my favorite people on the planet! She's hip, cool, fun, smart, patient, wise and true. (Gina, I need to see you more, friend!). Jim was added to the family a few years ago and he fits right in like the missing puzzle piece. He rides a bike (of the motorcycle variety) and has read Anne Rice (instant bond for me!). Morgan and Mike are a couple of the greatest kids you'll ever find. Both of them are smart, involved, and very loving. I always loved it when our kids got together because I knew they were in great company! I was so excited when Gina called me to do their family portraits...fun! (Let's get together soon, G!)<br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" sr="true" src="http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll47/reggaemylitis/MIL_7434.jpg" /><br /></div><a href="http://mypicturesofyou.com/">Miller&Miller Photography</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11348431876530935-4831153282162166625?l=millermillerphotography.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>sandi StudioCentricnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11348431876530935.post-66636969557957358572009-11-08T21:18:00.001-07:002009-11-08T21:18:20.779-07:00Quick Preview: Morgan<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">We had the best time today photographing a wonderful family in Mesa.

I loved shooting black and white (Ilford, I miss you). Even more, I loved working in the darkroom and watching my images magically appear in the tray of developer. There were times, though, when the darkroom would get the best of me, especially if something needed a little more dodging or burning than normal. <br /><br />As we all know, even a perfectly exposed photograph can often have areas that need a little help. In Photoshop, the dodge or burn tools are quick and easy solutions for darkening or lightening certain areas (there are many more ways, too). But back in the darkroom days, dealing with such things required a bit of practice. <br /><br />I remember a photo I made that I really loved. It was an old, partially falling down grist mill in the country (rural Virginia...reeeeally rural). The old wood was almost shiny from being so worn. A huge tree stood out front, just off to the side, and high grass decorated it all around. The problem was the tall, dry grass in the very front of the structure. It added a terrific element to the image, but needed a lot of burning. <br /><br />I will admit, dodging and burning made me nervous. I would hold my tool, <span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;">quickly and frantically</span> moving it over the area in question while the enlarger shone it's light on my paper. The timer would click the light off and I could breathe again (and hope for the best). Nowadays, I often catch myself making that same frantic movement while dodging or burning in Photoshop. I have to laugh and remind myself I'm not on a timer and gentle motions will do the trick. <br /><br />The negatives of that image were destroyed in a flood (that's a story for another Flashback Friday...a sad story), but I know someone who has a print of it hanging in his home (with my "amazing" burning talent, haha). Next trip to VA, I'm going to go there and see if he will kindly let me borrow and have it scanned. I would <span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;">LOVE LOVE LOVE</span> to have that photo back, if only for myself. I also hope to reshoot that same mill on my digital cam when I go back home in May. Keep your fingers crossed that it's still standing!<br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Happy Friday!</span></strong><br /><br /><a href="http://mypicturesofyou.com/">Miller&Miller Photography</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11348431876530935-4551456878570379548?l=millermillerphotography.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>sandi StudioCentricnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11348431876530935.post-11375825019616236142009-11-04T15:45:00.002-07:002009-11-04T15:48:53.452-07:00Commercial Photography in Mesa, AZ<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">When I started my photography business back in Virginia in the late 90's, I shot about 80% commercial, and that's how I preferred it.

So, to start off the series, here's a memory about wrought iron and Dave Matthews.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Back in 2002, while shopping at the Charlottesville, Virginia Whole Foods Market, I ran into <a href="http://www.davematthewsband.com/">Dave Matthews</a>, who was also shopping. We shopped around the store together, chatting and being completely goofy, then sat in his car in the parking lot afterward and chatted a little more. He called me a couple times after that, just friendly conversation. Not that I'm generally the overly starstruck type, but I was really thrilled by this little interaction with Dave. He's such a truly nice guy! Too bad I wasn't hauling my camera through the store with me!<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Later that year, I was hired by a couple of blacksmiths in Charlottesville to photograph a big, beautiful wrought iron gate they had just completed for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coran_Capshaw">Coran Capshaw</a>, DMB's manager. Small world.<br /></div><br />Happy Friday, everyone!<br /><br /><a href="http://mypicturesofyou.com/">Miller&Miller Photography</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11348431876530935-433390584364620494?l=millermillerphotography.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>sandi StudioCentricnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11348431876530935.post-13726624527485002952009-10-24T09:02:00.001-07:002009-10-24T09:02:37.810-07:00And the Winner is...<object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rHhLJivY6Mc&hl=en&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rHhLJivY6Mc&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://mypicturesofyou.com/">Miller&Miller Photography</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11348431876530935-1372662452748500295?l=millermillerphotography.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>sandi StudioCentricnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11348431876530935.post-25955594275121438472009-10-23T16:33:00.005-07:002009-10-26T22:04:38.478-07:00Last Day to Enter Drawing for Free Session!<div>.<br />To enter the drawing for a free sitting fee, simply leave a comment on this post.
