Helen herself is an amazing photographer owner and photographer for bounce production and is in the process of working on a very special photography project for cahrity entitled Captured Miracles. You can read more about her project and view these amazing photos she has taken on her blog.

[Arizona Storm August 28, 2008]- Arizona Wedding Photographer- Justine Miller Photography

So Last night was crazy, for about 2 hours straight it was a constant stream of lighting bolts across our desert skies. Huge wind gusts 90-100 mph, hail, and the most eeriest lighting show I have ever seen left tons of downed power lines, flooded streets, destructed buildings and uprooted trees. I ran outside in between the hail and rain and grabbed this shot of the night sky.


another local grabbed this video off youtube.


It was amazing, but scary at the time.

Wedding season starts in full force for me September 6th, and there will be plenty of purdy pictures for all my blog stalkers out there, wave.. I see you! :) Ok, so if that wasnt a hint to all you procrastimators out there, portrait sessions are filling up, so if you need to schedule a session, get ahold of me ASAP. For the rest of you, happy reading and drop me a line once in a while!

Ok, just a few more for you Corissa. Corissa told me she had a dream that the pictures all came out too dark and we had to reshoot them, not so. The pictures came out beautiful, despite loosing the light, we were able to manage a great selection of poses for the two of them!

here's a couple more.

[ New Engagement- Corissa and Spencer]- Phoenix Arizona Wedding and Engagement Photography- Justine Miller

Last night's Arizona engagement session in Cave Creek Arizona was an interesting! Corissa, Spencer and I planned on meeting at Big Earls Greasy Eats in Cave Creek Arizona and grab some cute shots there before heading to the pond house for some sunset shots. Of course things never go as planned, as I wait for Spencer and Corissa to arrive, they call me to let me know Corissa's beautiful hair has taken too long and they are running late, no problem, I jump in my car to go check out the town and my car battery is dead! Yea nice! By the time they arrive, the sun is second from setting so we rush straight to the pond house, and grab a few shots before the sun goes down, but not many. Overall we got some really nice shots of the two of them, but our sunset session turned into a moon rise session. Thanks Spencer for the jump on the car! Enjoy your previews and can't wait for your wedding!

[ Eco Friendly Marketing Materials] - Phoenix Arizona Wedding Photographer- Justine Miller Photography

Since August is a slow month here in Arizona for Weddings, I am working hard on updating all my marketing materials to match my new logo ( which I love! ) After every interview with a potential bride, I always look at the stack of paper my brides receive and think, geez that's a lot of paper! So I thought of a way to cut back on the paper we are using and hopefully making it easier for my brides to keep everything they need in one place. I am now providing all information and copies of important forms on a CD for my brides to take home with them. On the CD, my brides receive my Contract, their questionnaire, referral lists for other Arizona Vendors and so much more. You can print out as much or as little as you like and don't have to worry about loosing pages amongst all of the other paperwork you will receive from your other vendors. What do you all think? I love it and I hope you love it as well. I am in the process of implementing this for my Arizona Family, Maternity and Newborn Sessions as well.
