Twiggy!!






How many dogs do you know who can sit, stay, high five, twirl and jump?  There aren't many that we know but we did meet one recently-Twiggy!!  We photographed Twiggy's fur-sibling, Sally, a couple of years ago before their owner adopted Twiggy when she was 5 months old.  Twiggy was super-photogenic- you can tell from these images that she LOVED being photographed!!  She was so fun to work with and very eager to please!!  Personality plus!!!  We loved every minute of this session -and so did Twiggy!!!

Connor - Class of 2013








Connor is another one of our great high school seniors who we photographed late this past summer!  We have been photographing Connor's family for the past couple of years so it was great to already have that relationship with him when it came time for his senior session! Connor is an easy going and fun senior who put up with Melissa and I and all of our dorkiness-not to mention he was happy to go to the various locations we planned out for him.  He didn't even seem to mind the snake we encountered at one location spot!!   Good luck with your senior year, Connor!!  And we can't wait to photograph little sister Olivia in a few short years for her senior session!!

Thanks & Giving 2012



One Holiday at a Time! 

Before we get focused on the next-next big holiday, Christmas, we want to take time to celebrate an equally significant holiday. Happy Thanksgiving! This year, we want to stop and take in the spirit of giving thanks and give back again.  We are mindful that this year, we are thankful for so much including our new studio and so grateful for the opportunity to continue to have a business that creates such joy in the lives we touch.     

It started in 2009 with a challenge from a fellow photographer - to give the joy of photography to a family in need. Over the past three years, we have been humbled by the recipients of this gift. We created lasting memories of a family who lost their husband/father a few short months after we photographed them.  We photographed another family whose youngest child has a chronic illness and we were witness to such powerful love and support, it blew us away.  Another family was given the gift of senior portraits for their twin daughters who would not have been able to have them without this gift. We are always amazed by the families' resiliency but we are also so grateful for the thoughtfulness of the people who nominate them.  

This holiday season we are giving you the opportunity to give once again. If you are a client or friend, please join us by nominating someone in need. You know someone. You know someone who's experienced a tragedy, is struggling to stay afloat, is raising kids while holding down more than one job, has someone in their family that is terminally ill or someone who is volunteering selflessly despite extenuating personal circumstances. You know someone who can't afford custom photography, but who would cherish it this holiday season. You know someone who deserves a year-round reminder of their family's spirit, love and beauty. 

We know you know someone to nominate. We want to know who they are, and want to give them the chance to experience complimentary custom photography. $1500 worth to be exact. Whether it's a beautiful canvas, or an art book or multiple wall portraits, it's in your power to give them the artwork and heirlooms they deserve this holiday season. The person who nominates the winner will receive $500 in portrait credit! What better reason to show some love could there possibly be?

The Rules:
- You cannot nominate yourself.
- The person nominated must sincerely be incapable of purchasing our services. 
- The nominee must be able to come to Woodbury for a studio or location session. 
Tell us who you know, what they're experiencing, and why they deserve a gift of photography. Please include a way to contact both your nominee and yourself. Please put "Thanksgiving Giveaway" in the subject line and email the full story to: melissa@miroslavichphotography.com . The deadline to nominate is Wednesday November 21, 2012.

The winner will be notified on Thanksgiving Day ... get nominating!! We are blessed to give another family an amazing, beautiful experience!

Open your heart to someone this holiday season - and thanks for giving us the opportunity to open ours! Keep an eye out on November 26th because next up we will be decking our halls, playing holiday music (I've been waiting since July) and giving you great gift ideas for Christmas.

Styling is here!

We are so excited to announce two new session options being offered at Miroslavich Photography. Whoop! Our clients know we consult on clothing and portrait ideas, but have you heard we can take this service to a whole new level? You bet we can. ClothingStyled and PhotoStyled are sessions for clients who want even more help in putting the finishing touches on clothing coordination and also for clients who want it all. The cool thing is the styling process is still a completely collaborative experience. There are two options for your styled portrait experience. ClothingStyled provides additional help with clothing choices. A stylist actually comes to your home and coordinates your family’s outfits. PhotoStyled takes this another step further marrying visual design with relationship photography to turn your session into a conceptual masterpiece. *Think magazine ad. Not only do we provide a stylist for clothing design and extra help during your session, we also complete an in-home consultation to discuss unique portrait display options and ultimately hang your art for you while oohing and aahing over your new art pieces. If you are looking for styling ideas, check out our Pinterest Live board in the studio. And if you've got the clothing thing down (and so many of you are oh-so-good at it) that's awesome too. (Is it cool to say awesome? Is it even cool to say cool?). When we moved our studio earlier this fall we also took a moment to capture what a session feels like at Miroslavich Photography. Be sure to watch our new video too. Feel free to pass it along to friends who we haven't met yet, it's okay by us.

Olivia - Class of 2013





It was a perfect fall morning when Olivia came to us for her senior session!  After some time in the studio, we headed outside to take advantage of the gorgeous light.  It was great to get to know Olivia and see her personality shine through in these portraits!  The youngest of three, Olivia will head off to college next year-we wish her all the best!  And we hope you have a wonderful senior year, Olivia!!!

Liam is ONE!!!







Liam is a busy one year old little guy and having a ball learning to walk/run and explore his world!!  We photographed Liam when he was 3 months old, 8 months old and now that he is walking, we photographed him on location at a local park.  Liam LOVES trucks and was very intent on playing with the trucks they brought to the session-it was adorable!  Of course, his "fur-sibling" Murphy also accompanied the family to the session and loved being photographed as well!! We have loved watching Liam over the past year and look forward to seeing him grow over the next few years as well!!

Kim - Class of 2013








We've said it before but I will say it again-we get to meet the BEST high school seniors every year!  These seniors have it all together and have so many talents, it always amazes us!  Kim is a high school senior who dazzled us with her personality and love of the arts.  Her vintage flair and passion for theater and literature was incorporated into her session which made it so uniquely Kim!  We know that  Kim is exploring her options for colleges for next fall and we cannot wait to see where she ends up!!  Congrats, Kim!!
