About Your Photographer

My MissionTo capture and preserve a memory, a moment in time for you to treasure and pass down through generations.

Earthtones Photography Biz Style

My name is Sharon Miller.  I am not the usual portraitist.  I will provide you with more then the typical portrait/styles that you see everywhere.  My idea of portrait art is a blend of different styles to create a YOU style.  It is different for each individual.  It is what flows out of your personality, tastes, and environment.  Though it is has my artistic flavor, it's a study about you and who you are.  That is what makes it unique every time...as unique as you are. My clients are creative & lovers of photography.  They value the photographic experience.  They are not seeking traditional for the most part, preferring to preserve style, mood, drama, life.  They are open to experimenting...trying new things.

I travel all over West Michigan and can be hired to travel world wide.


Getting Personal

On a more personal note:

* I usually dress appropriately for the possibility of getting ruffled & dirty.
* I will vamp up my dress code appropriately if you need me to shoot your wedding or other more upscale occasion.
* My fearlessness of holding my body at odd angles when needed will serve you well.
* You’ll sometimes see me tooling around in my old beat up Jeep. It’s my favorite ride. Broken in just right for a photographer visiting swamps, rivers, and other muddy places.
* As a regular client you’ll come to know me well and realize I’m pretty free from the status quo in many ways.
* I personally favor black and white photography.
* I have three daughters with only one left in the nest & I’m a grandma.
* My husband is also a photographer and he assists me on most assignments.
* I love to laugh. I find amusement in many, many things. Life is to short not to laugh.
* God directs my path when I listen to Him. I try very hard to listen but I'm thankful that Jesus paid the debt for when I don't listen well.
* I don’t mind symbol smiley faces at all. : ) They give a little warmth to written words that can seem cold and mechanical.
* I have a passionate love of Lake Michigan and the shoreline, where I grew up, and I love summer.  

Lifestyle photography is my specialty. I love capturing special events & real life moments, portraying them in my own artistic way. I don’t do cookie cutter work but rather stick to my own style.  It's a style that begs to be hung on your walls or beautifully displayed in an album. I work in many different environments and situations. Visit my portfolio and look around on the blog. If you enjoy my style, give me a call or write me. You'll find the link to my Portfolio just below the flash photo header near the top left of the page.

Full Length “Thriller”

I found this full length video of Michael Jacksons “Thriller” to share with anyone who wants to watch.  Posted in memory of him.  Sad news about the king of pop.

Equine

Thanks to beautiful J. and her gorgeous equine friend, I was able to visit a horse ranch near my home in Vergennes Township to practice equine photography this week.  I will be pursuing more of this type of work in the future.   Thanks, also, to J’s dad, Matt from MCR Technologies, for introducing me to his lovely daughter.

Matt and I are fellow members of the Thornapple Chapter of the BNI business group.    Feel free to contact me if you are a business owner/manager & interested in visiting one of our weekly BNI meetings.  We meet in Ada at 7:00 to 8:30 AM every Tuesday.  We have an opening for a DJ,  a wedding/event planner,  an interior decorator, an attorney, a plumber, electrician,  and more.

Outrageous Digital File Giveaway:

Just a reminder, today and tomorrow are the last days to book for this unheard of special pricing.  After 5:00 PM on Friday this special will no longer be available.  You can book your session for anytime during 2009 and enjoy this tremendous savings.  I know many of you will need senior portraits, Christmas or other photos of your children (they grow up too fast), some artistic photos of your husband or wife (we grow up too fast, too) or even some of both of you together, and more.  I’d hate to see you miss this sale.   Call me and we’ll consult to discover exactly what you need.
