F is for Fan

I’d like to thank everyone who is a fan of Miville Photography on Facebook. The other day I hit 400 fans, which is a huge milestone. So, I decided to give out a thank you to one lucky fan for reaching this milestone. I decided a $75 gift certificate towards a portrait session would be a nice thank you for following me and being a fan. The winner, chosen at random, happened to be a friend from high school. I recently connected with this person through Facebook and I’m excited for the photo session.

Congratulations to Jess Wilson of East Earl, PA. I look forward to photographing you and your family, especially when your new addition arrives next month.

I hope everyone continues to follow me on Facebook. Please tell your friends and hopefully if we get to 500 fans I may give out another thank you gift. Follow me on Facebook and be a fan of Miville Photography on Facebook.

Mother’s Day Pics: Lisa & Josie

Tonight was my first session for the Mother’s Day special section of the Lancaster Intelligencer newspaper. They are putting a special section in the paper filled with mother’s and their kids to celebrate such a special day. Tonight I started off my sessions for this with Lisa and her daughter Josie. While fighting to rid myself of this cold, they were very into the shoot and having some fun. Josie was a little camera ham as you’ll see and made my job very easy. Josie being 2 1/2 is very close to the age of my daughter Alexa so I could relate to her inquisitive nature. It was a lot of fun and I’m looking forward to some more upcoming sessions. Enjoy these for now.

Gobo Workshop – Lancaster

This past Saturday Gobo Photo Workshops held it’s first workshop session at the Cork Factory in Lancaster, PA. We couldn’t have asked for a better location, a better group of people, better sponsors or better models. Everything went so smooth and we were able to teach some hands on photography to everyone in attendance. We started off talking about camera basics including how a camera works, aperture, white balance, lenses, digital sensors, lighting and composition. Our cake from Monkey & Me Sweets showed up and then we broke for lunch. During lunch our models arrived and we were able to start the hands on shooting with our attendees. After a while we moved on to some giveaways and ended with some digital organization and enhancement. It was a great day and I’m looking forward to our next workshop. Thanks to everyone who came out!

Thanks as well to Wes from Perfect Image for sponsoring us!
