Cool Mia.......

Need I say more?

Want to get trashed??????

Trashing the dress........
This is a trend that is just starting to take off and I just really LOVE the whole idea and concept behind it.

Want to know more about it read this:
New York Times article about Trashing the Dress
Also check out the official blog:
Trash the Dress Blog
And for High School Seniors (really, really love this idea):
Let's get trashed Blog
this could also apply to school uniforms, graduation gowns etc.

So if there are any Brides (or Seniors) out there that want some AWESOME images in that beautiful dress that you obsessed over finding, spent a fortune on, and will NEVER wear again then give me a call and we will set up a super fun Trash the Dress session. I will be doing these for 1/2 off my regular session fee for the rest of the summer. So book during June, July or August and your session fee is just $50!!!

Hey, even if you've been married for a few years drag that dress out of moth balls and go get trashed and then give the georgeous images to your hubby for an anniversary gift. Now THAT's a creative gift!!

trying something new.....

For awhile now I have been playing around in photoshop trying to figure out how to get my pictures to look similar to the old polaroids that my baby book is filled with. Something about them are just so cool and well.....vintage. I came across an action, that is an automated set of conversions for those who don't speak photoshop, that kind of does what I have been looking for. So I made a few adjustments and I'm starting to love how it looks. Here is an example:

This picture is from a few weeks ago after church. It's Mia's Easter dress which I didn't actually take a picture of ON Easter because.......well, I'm lazy. ;)

Also, another little sneak peak of my new look coming soon.

Here is a comparison so you can see what it looks like right out of the camera, how I would usually process an image and then with the new polaroid treatment.

And one more because Mia is just so darn cute in her dress!!!


Leave me a comment and let me know what you think. Should I keep it, tweak it or scrap it?????

new look.....

I'm sure you noticed the change in background colors. This is part of the new look that Cindy Mills Photography has coming very soon. I am so excited about some of the changes that I will be making in the look and branding of my business. I have an AWESOME new logo that I can't wait to share with everyone. There will be new colors, a new website and all new marketing material (business cards, brochures, even an exciting product catalog).

So for now here is a little sneak peek of a tiny little portion of the new logo. Can't wait to show you the WHOLE thing!!

Princess Mia.....

Mia is so funny. She thinks any little girl that twirls and her skirt flairs out is a princess. She hasn't shown much interest in playing dress up until last night. We watched "The Wizard of OZ" and shortly after it was over she went running back to her room shouting "princess, princess." A few minutes later she came out of her room with this outfit. The broom is for riding.....I guess in Mia's world princesses ride brooms instead of witches.
