about Millie:
Hi! I'm Millie, a photographer based in Wilmington, NC. I travel all over the world photographing weddings, families, kids and grads. I specialize in a more candid approach to my photographs. I most enjoy capturing people in a comfortable environment being themselves.
This blog was created so that you can see my latest work, what I am up to, and a bit of my personal life so that you can get to know me better. Welcome to my journal made so that I can reflect on my travels, friends, family and photography. I hope you enjoy following my life as much as I enjoy living it!

That's right, the season is changing and so are we. Be sure to scoot over to our new site and see the new and improved US!

I should probably write and launch this blog post before next year's Haven comes out. (It's been sitting on the back end of my blog for a while waiting for me to take a second to write and release).
Tomorrow (MONDAY) we'll be migrating to a new blog with our brand spanking new and super fun look. You won't even recognize it and lots of things will be changing to make the blog and our website site a better and more enjoyable experience. This has been over a year in the making (it takes time to make things just right). Enough about the rebrand for now, we have a new MHP twitter account you can follow for updates on that and the next time you see a blog post here it will be with the new link and announcement so look for that tommorrow!
Last year Brent, Amanda and I headed off to Bald Head on assignment for an article on paddle boarding in the 2011 Haven. Little did we know we would also get the cover shot on this assignment. Brent and I headed into the ocean with underwater housing for our cameras and shot into the sunset. It was such a fun experience and this year's Haven features our shots on the front and back cover! |
While shooting our Family Vacation Article for the very same issue, Amanda grabbed this awesome shot of our sweet nephew Gavin which became the cover for the 2011 Bald Head Island Armchair Guide. Love!
You can see and read the entire Haven online (including the full paddle boarding article) here! |
| This year while traveling to Bald Head for a 2012 Haven assignment I spotted a full rack in the ferry terminal and grabbed some iPhone shots. It's so fun to see your work in print, especially in stacks of magazines! |

It's funny how life works. How quickly things change. In the last year we've moved into a new building, we are undergoing a huge branding overhaul (scheduled to launch in mid to late November) and we recently added to our team! Meet the Strebeck family. They are now the newest addition to our MHP family. Claire has been on staff with us now for several weeks and we've been waiting until just the right moment to introduce her to all of you! Call it what you want, but we believe it is divine providence that the Strebeck family is now a part of our lives.
Over a year ago I began looking to hire a family portrait photographer for MHP. After reviewing many applicants and sorting through numerous voicemails, I didn't feel I had just the right person for the job so I decided to wait.
A few months ago an email appeared in my inbox with Claire re-introducing herself. I previously met her when she attended Love Affair Workshop (where I was teaching) over two years ago. This wasn't the first time I had gotten an email from someone asking if we had any openings (I get them often). However, something about this one left me with the feeling I should dig a little deeper. She informed me that her husband was interviewing for a job in the area and they would hopefully be moving here soon from Mississippi. Fast forward several months later and here we are. Claire, Wesley and their two adorable boys are now a part of our lives on our daily basis and we think they are the perfect fit.
Claire is our brand new family portrait photographer and office assistant at MHP. She's currently helping second shoot weddings and learning the ropes both on portrait sessions and in the studio. Pretty soon she'll begin booking sessions of her own so keep an eye out for that over the next several months. Until then we are happy to open a new chapter in our MHP life and introduce you to Claire and her sweet little family... |
