Happy Holidays from Pamela Miller Photography

Introducing Lily - Berks County Newborn Photographer

I had the wonderful opportunity to meet little Lily the other day, first born of my dear friend D.  She is 5 pounds of sweetness.  So happy for you D & B - you have one gorgeous daughter.  I know you will make wonderful parents.

Baby E - Berks County Baby Photographer - Pamela Miller Photography

Baby E at 5 months old.  This is a tough age to photograph as they aren't tiny newborns anymore but aren't yet sitting up, but every age is a fun age in my book.  There are so many changes in the first year - it's an amazing journey and I'm so happy that X invited me to share in their journey.

B is a family friend of my husband's family.  B now lives in Charleston so it was great that B & K was able to take some time during their Thanksgiving holiday in the Reading area for a photo session of their beautiful daughter.  A is 5 months old and oh soo cute.  She loved giving raspberries most of the time but in between those raspberries just look at what I was able to capture!

I've known C & A since high school so it was great to reconnect and meet and spend time with their kids.  I had a lot of fun at this session as their wonderful family was up for anything.  One of my favorite parts of my job is to download the files from my memory cards and see the results from my sessions and this one was no different.  I just knew I was going to love the results.  There are so many great shots in this session it was so hard to choose which to sneak peek.  What a photogenic family!  Here are some of the ones that I was personally drawn to during our session - I just love nontraditional family photos where not everyone is looking and smiling at the camera (of course those are priceless too!).

E Family - Berks County Family Photographer - Pamela Miller Photography

What a fun family session!  It's funny how we go through life and see people periodically and never really know that person.  T and D have gone to the same gym as me for the past several years but we never officially met until our session.  It was so great to meet the E family.  Jude cracked me up the whole time - he has given me a glimpse at what I think my son will be in a few years - they are both such hams.  I wish I could take credit for posing him between his dads legs like this, but this was all his doing.  Love it.  Enjoy your sneak peek!

Maya - Berks County Newborn Photographer - Pamela Miller Photography

Newborns.....oh how I love them.  As a mom, the first 2 weeks is a very hard time, particularly as a first time mom.  I always wished that newborns came with an instruction manual.  But as a photographer, I just LOVE newborns.....holding and rocking them to put them to sleep and then when you get them to fall asleep - there is nothing better. 

Maya is a beautiful little girl.....thank you S & D for the opportunity to photograph your gorgeous daughter!

Cameron & Caitlyn - Berks County Children Photographer - Pamela Miller Photography

Fall is the busiest time of year for photographers.....(1) it is a beautiful time of year when the leaves change and (2) it is holiday card time.  This year unfortunately, due to the dry hot summer, the typical beautiful fall folliage itsn't quite as brilliant as usual so I was tickled when I arrived on location to see this beautiful tree with the bright yellow leaves which was not quite as brilliant just 5 days earlier. 

Those of you that follow my blog might recognize these kids who I had the opportunity to photograph last year too.  They are my cousins' (through marriage that is) gorgeous kids.  I can't believe how old they are getting!   I love when I get to photograph kids year after year and see how they change each year.  Enjoy your sneak peek:

L Family - Reading, PA Family Photography - Pamela Miller Photography

Close friends of ours, the L family, hadn't had a family photography session done since their oldest was a newborn so I was excited that they gave me the opportunity.  We held their session at H and P's Mimi and G-dad's beautiful property, which was a photographer's dream location other than the fact that we were challenged with the girls wanting to see the new toy in the house (oh and anytime you add a dog to the mix it creates additional challenges), but somehow after the shortened session we were able to come away with beautiful images of their family....
 

Evan - Berks County Children Photography

I never know what kind of session it will be with a 2 1/2 year old.   I do LOVE this age as you get to run around and have some fun and get some great natural expressions, but sometimes as everyone with kids know, the terrible twos come out.  I was so lucky that I was able to spend so much time to devote solely on Evan and get some great shots.  Of course, after working with families with up to 4 siblings or family dogs, working with one child was a nice breather for me.   It wasn't until the very very end when Evan did not want to part with the Radio Flyer rocket ship I brought along with me.  But then again, what 2 year old wouldn't want a rocket ship of his very own!

S Family - Montgomery County Family Photographer

I love when I get to connect with people who I knew from years ago or who are friends of friends and now they invite me to spend time with them and photograph their family.  S and I played field hockey on rival high schools (she went to high school with my husband).  I remembered her wonderful curls and was thrilled to learn that her daughter has those same incredible curls.  Thank you S, A, and M for letting me spend some time with you on a gorgeous fall day to capture your beautiful family.

M Family - Berks County Family Photographer

Four.....4 sets of gorgeous blue eyes all under the age of 5.  4 sets of legs with lots of energy.  4 absolute cuties. Thanks M family for spending time with me.  Enjoy your sneak peek!

B Family - Reading, PA Children Photographer

B is for Beautiful......Beautiful setting, beautiful family.  It took a little while for L to warm up but C was a trooper from the start.  I just love the real life photos we captured.   Thanks M & M for spending your afternoon with me!
