Bridal Portraits

2010-08-04T15:33:00.003-04:00

We've been anxious to post this to the blog...

Days before her wedding Nicole and her mom came into the studio for a bridal portrait. They were looking for something traditional that was to go on a wall of family portraits. Diane started taking pictures and she could not stop. We kept changing backgrounds and positions and doing everything imaginable because Nicole is just so beautiful and photographs great! We had so much fun in this session that we just wanted to tell and show the world but we were not able to post this right away like we wanted to, because this was a surprise for everyone.
Now, finally, here they are!
Needless to say we ended up with beautiful images from this session and we want everyone to see them.
So congratulations to Nicole and her husband!
It was a joy working with you and you mom Nicole. we hope you enjoy these beautiful images and to see you around here soon!

Family Beach Sessions

2010-07-27T16:33:00.017-04:00

Our Beach Sessions are, like we have mentioned, very fun. We love going to the beach and taking great photographs having fun getting to know our clients better. In this particular session we went to last week we got to enjoy it even a little bit more. I have known Eileen ever since I can remember, I grew up across the street from her and was friends with her younger sister. This past couple of months we have had the pleasure of working with Suzanne, one of Eileen's daughters, and her son Ryan for the children's contest. Ryan was a joy to have around with his wonderful personality and warm smile. This year Eileen decided that she was finally going to get her children and grandchildren all together and to do a family portrait. I was ecstatic! I already love working with them but now I had the chance to work with the whole family and at the beach non the less.

So we arrive and I realize that she has a much bigger family than I thought. Two daughters and a son and their respective spouses and children, the count brought us to 13 people of whom 6 were children. I cannot describe how much fun we had that evening. I can only hope that the images that we have will be enough to capture that evening.

With that I say that we try our very best to capture all your special moments, we try to capture who you are as a family and as individuals. We know how to have fun and we can have lots of fun with you.

Beach Sessions

2010-07-22T11:38:00.006-04:00

We have been talking about our beach weeks for quite some time now, telling everybody how great they are and how much fun we have while photographing. Now we thought it would be a great idea for us to share with you a little bit of how this past week and a half has been going.

As many of you know the weather is always unexpected, we can never be sure of what the end of the day will bring. Just last week we photographed Kristine Almeida a senior at Coventry High School. The whole day had been overcast, the sun had not been out in the whole day. We thought we were not going to get a nice sunset so we started the session a little earlier than we had planned. Low and behold when we arrived at the beach the sun came out! We ended up having a fantastic beach session with interesting finds and a model who was up for anything in order to get the best photograph. It just goes to show you that you have to prepared for the unexpected specially if the unexpected is great!

We always look for the best in any kind of situation, whether it's windy, overcast, bright or humid, we find the humour in life and just try to go with the flow of things. In the end we always get the best image and we never forget to have fun.

Senior Portraits

2010-07-07T13:43:00.004-04:00

It's summer, so who is thinking of going back to school? If it's your last year in high school you may be. Your final year before freedom, before you can head out into the world and learn and experience new things. With it you will leave behind many memories and a part of yourself. Would it not be great to preserve those memories, to remember how and who you were during that last year as a high school student.

Here at Diane Miller's Photography we can work with you to capture what you want to portray of yourself, who you are, what you do, what makes you YOU.

Don't wait too long, before you know it this year will be over.

Make your appointment by July 10th and receive an image for your Facebook with your image order.

A Special Thank You

2010-07-07T12:43:00.007-04:00

I wanted to take a moment to thank one of our client and friend of many years. I have had the pleasure of taking Emily's photographs since she was a baby. She has been brought back every year for her birthday to have her picture taken.

I had the rarity of a day off when she had a dance recital to which I attended. It was a pleasure for me to go see her on such a special day. I was able to get a few shots in and was then inspired to make a small book for her. So from this we have had a new inspiration of making event books.

Emily's dad then asked us to make something special for mother's day this year. We created a beautiful throw for them with images of Emily throughout the years providing them with a great way of displaying their images, it could either be hung as a tapestry or used as a blanket throw. With this we want to acknowledge our special friends.

New Arrivals

2010-01-16T11:13:00.005-05:00

A while back we posted a pregnancy portrait of Mary with her son, Andrew. They had come to the studio for Andrew's 2 year portrait, but we had to mark the other special milestone...awaiting the new baby! Once little Sammy was born, it was her turn to be in the spotlight. We loved watching Andrew grow and change through his first year. Now we are blessed to be caputring Sammy's growth too! Starting with Mary and Rich's engagement session, followed by their wedding and 2 beautiful children, it has been great to see them grow from a fun-loving couple into a wonderful family!

Rhode Island 101

2009-11-12T10:12:00.003-05:00

A few months ago, Tim Lehnert came in for a publicity shot to promote his new book, Rhode Island 101. This book is filled with lots of interesting information and history that every Rhode Islander should know about this wonderful state we live in. What's really great is that this book doesn't involve any in depth reading. All the information is short and concise, but eye opening. For those of you not from RI, it's like cliff notes...you'll be able to fit right into any conversation with the locals. This book also very family friendly with great facts to share and discuss around the dinner table. According to Tim, you can find this book at local bookstores!

Halloween

2009-10-31T14:34:00.009-04:00

Each year we look forward to Halloween for two very special reasons. First, we love to see the kids that we've watched grow stop by our studio in their Halloween costumes! The kids, once in character, are giddy with excitement! It's hysterical seeing them act out the part with lions roaring, Dorothy skipping, and doggies barking. Second, this is the time of year that we kick off the season of giving by giving each family a 5x7 keepsake portrait for a small donation to charity. This year Diane's church is putting together food baskets that will be delivered to the needy, including many Viet Nam vets. With all the money raised this year, Diane is going on a shopping spree to contribute to those food baskets! We are so psyched to be able to help out such a great cause!

While usually we just photograph the kids, we couldn't resist capturing the whole Lepore ready to walk down the yellow brick road! While the kids look adorable as the scarecrow and the cowardly lion, we are impressed with the planning and spirit of Sabrina and Matt that would make this a Halloween to remember!

Little Brady is getting ready to follow his mom's footsteps preparing for a life in and love for theater! We first photographed Brady for his 1 year portrait! His family came to us through a special promotion we had done with Pumpkin Patch ELC. We're so excited to photograph Brady as he is coming into his own little personality.

Props to Mary Levine for making her son Andrew's costume this year! She did an incredible job of making Andrew King of the Wild Things! What an appropriate costume this year with the movie just coming out and with the new addition of a baby wild thing to the Levine family, Sammy. That was just too cute!

No holiday would be complete without a visit from the Brooks family. We are so fortunate to have photographed Madeleine and Robert since they were babies, and all the occasions since...bunnies, birthdays, Halloween, Christmas... It's like they were born ready for the camera. They bring such smiles and laughter to our faces as we capture their joyful personalities. Melissa is always so attentive to every detail as you see with the kids' costumes this year. I just want to hug that little lion! And look at Dorothy from the basket with Toto, the braids, down to the nail polish and sparkling red slippers!

Thank you to all the families that came out for photos, gave donations, and brought joy to our hearts! This was our "treat" for Halloween!

2009-02-17T12:05:00.004-05:00

This note just came in from a very happy client:

Hi Diane, Heather & Larissa,

Just wanted to get in touch to let you know how much the family loved Mark's senior pictures as Christmas presents! They couldn't believe how handsome he looked and the different poses. We are so impressed with the quality of the pictures. The girls in school are enjoying receiving their wallet copy (he just got voted class flirt!). Thanks again for your time and professionalism.

Send a Special Valentine

2009-01-10T11:32:00.004-05:00

Love was definitely in the air when we did this session. Last year, little Gianluca turned 1 on Valentine's Day. The family was also blessed to be celebrating the birth of their second son, Dante. So we had to take advantage of the opportunity to create the best Valentines ever. The images from this session made for great wall portraits, panel prints. Both boys have "Watch Me Grow" albums with us illustrating their growth through their early years. These albums have been the biggest rage in our studio this year as it allows you to remember all the milestones and quirks along the way. Any image can also be made into greeting cards, notecards, mugs, or purses! Those are gifts too cute to pass up!

2009 Police Calendar

2009-01-10T11:05:00.003-05:00

We have always said that we love what we do and the people we work with. This summer we had the privilege to photograph some of RI's finest police officers...with their shirts off! Everyone was such a great sport and all for a great cause. Diane traveled the state photographing cops in their districts to help out Concerns of Police Survivors, Inc. and The Rhode Island SPCA. The year is still new, so go out and pick up a calendar to track the days and put a smile on your face.

2008-10-18T14:25:00.002-04:00

For the past week, we have been photographing families and children at Roger Williams Park. The weather has been perfect and the foliage has been stunning. Thank you to all our clients who have made this event so special for us this year. If anyone is still interested, we will still go to the park as long as the weather holds out!

Fall Family Week

2008-09-17T17:36:00.002-04:00

From Saturday, October 11th through Saturday, October 18th, we will be taking advantage of the spectacular fall foliage at Roger Williams Park. Bring the whole family down for a lovely outing at the park where we can photograph you all together, then photograph individuals, couples or smaller groupings.

For this special promotion, you can even walk away with some of these items free of charge. Call or schedule a time to come by and we can talk about the endless options.
