Portraits with Heart

Portraits shouldn’t feel like a chore, and they shouldn’t feel like pretending. At Mill Creek, I want you comfortable, relaxed, and true to yourself. That might mean boots instead of dress shoes, a favorite hat, or kids holding onto their blanket. It might mean dressing up a little — but in a way that still feels like you.

The best portraits aren’t the stiff ones where everyone looks perfect — they’re the ones where you can look back years from now and say, “That’s who we really were.”

 Frequently Asked Questions

  • You’re not alone — that’s most families. I don’t expect perfect behavior or stiff smiles. Some of the best images come from real moments — a laugh, a hug, even the chaos.

  • Wear what makes you comfortable and feels like you. Boots, hats, favorite jackets — even if you dress up, make it true to you.

  • Anytime that feels like you! If you want guidance, spring and fall evenings are perfect — soft light, comfortable weather, and beautiful color.

  • Absolutely. Pets are family too. Just bring a leash and maybe a treat or toy — I’ll work them in naturally.

  • You’re not alone—that’s more common than you think. I’ll keep interactions light and fun to help capture genuine connections, not stiff smiles.
