- Album Cover













What better way to remember a baby’s first year than a 1 Year Baby album?! Petra and her parents will have this keepsake album for years to come and it will be a beautiful reminder of Petra’s first year of life and the many changes that occurred throughout the year. Petra went from a tiny, helpless baby – completely dependent on mom and dad for everything… to sitting and standing and walking as well as learning to express her wants and needs! It never ceases to amaze me how much a baby learns and develops in just 1 year!
How will you remember your baby’s first year? Will you simply rely on your own memory? Or would you like White Rose Photography to help you by photographing these precious memories so they last a lifetime?! 585.208.6913

I finally broke out the fog machine yesterday and did a few more portraits with my daughter. I’ve been wanting to test it for sometime now but somehow just never got around to it. I’m kind of loving the effect!! I hope my high school seniors will too!

Just having some fun with my daughter in the studio! We have plans to do a few more portraits today and hopefully try out the fog machine!!!! (just click on the storyboard to view it larger)
This is a 10×30 storyboard design that Ioffer. Storyboards are a great way to get several poses and all under 1 frame! Storyboards are also great for showing personality shots!!

During the consultation session I always ask my clients what is most important to them about their portraits.

Absolutely LOVE your portraits or we reshoot or your money back!
Every photo created by White Rose Photography is retouched to make you look your best and yet not look ‘plastic’ or like someone else altogether.

I have been feeling a bit under the weather… So, I’ve been sitting on the couch messing around with photoshop and trying to improve my photoshop skills. The hope, of course, is that I can better serve my portrait clients!
One thing I’m wanting to add is awesome Posters for my High School Seniors. Something they can’t get just anywhere – but one of a kind, custom designed posters!! I’ve never attempted something like this… but it’s been fun messing around with it! Here are a few designs I came up with using some pictures from previous high school senior sessions.

Another version

And a couple of different seniors…


While working on these, I learned how to do this:

Totally cool! Now I just need to figure out what to do with it. hahaha!!

This is my youngest daughter’s First Christmas ornament, dated 1996. She is 15 now and decorated our Christmas tree all by herself while we were out shopping. She wanted a real tree with tinsel – LOTS OF TINSEL!
Our tree, like most trees I suppose, holds lots of memories. When the kids were little we used to let them purchase one new ornament each Christmas. It was fun watching them change as they grew. We have everything from Santa clause to Darth Vader to Charlie Brown on our tree. (Just to name a few!)

We also have ornaments that the kids made – like this little manger scene one of the kids made out of sculpy clay. As well as ornaments that were given to us by friends.
My tree makes me smile!! And I’m looking forward to celebrating another Christmas with my family!!!
Merry Christmas to you and your family from

As I’m wrapping up the last of the Class of 2012 portrait sessions – I’m already looking ahead to the class of 2013, and how I can serve them.
I can’t tell you how much fun I have helping seniors create totally unique (and sometimes crazy) senior portraits.
I would love to get the class of 2013 to start thinking about their senior portraits NOW!
I know, I know… it seems like such a long way off. But believe me, it’s not!
Every year, I get last minute seniors that are in a panic to get their senior pictures done in time, because they waited until the very last minute! And I’ve had to turn some away.
So, in my effort to encourage you to start thinking about your senior portrait experience NOW – I’ve decided I to try a little game…
Over the next several months I’m going to be posting past senior portraits on Facebook.
When I do, the first 3 people from the class of 2013 to send me an email will receive a FREE studio session from White Rose Photography! (Studio sessions will be taking place BEFORE April 1, 2012).
This is NOT a mini session! It will be a full blown studio session with up to 3 backdrop changes and unlimited clothing changes.
Of those who receive a studio session, I will post YOUR favorite picture from that session on Facebook in a folder called “Class of 2013 Giveaway”.
Get all your friends and family to vote for your picture – and the senior with the most votes will also win a FREE location session (the location session must take place in June or July 2012).
The earlier you enter, the more time you have to get people voting!!!!
One additional bonus for entering… you will have lots of opportunities to earn FREE gift prints from your session! A great way to get a ton of extra wallets to give to friends and family!!!
The details – PLEASE READ!!!!
Send your emails to mdmilliman@gmail.com
Subject line should read: Class of 2013
In the email, please include:
- Name
- Phone #
- Email Address
- Snail Mail Address
- School District
I will announce the recipients of the FREE sessions on Facebook and also notify you via email to set up your consultation session. (The consultation is simply so that I know exactly what you are looking for in your senior portraits.)
There is absolutely NO OBLIGATION to purchase any of your pictures from your studio session!
Remember… the earlier you enter – the better!!!
So don’t wait until the last minute!!!!!
