Best of 2012 – Photo posts

By Cass Miller on January 9, 2013 in Birth, Couples, Family, Home Sessions, Lifestyle, Maternity, San Diego, Travel, Weddings

I could have posted every single session of 2012. I had such a great year, with so many wonderful clients. My business flourished this year, and I could not feel more fortunate or blessed. I was given opportunities to push my photography beyond my limits of what I thought I was capable. I had such a great year and I’m so looking forward to 2013 and upcoming sessions. I am looking forward to pushing myself in new ways and to keep on this path I’ve had laid out for me. Here are just SOME of my highlights for 2012. These were the sessions that helped shape me as an artist this year. The milestones for both my art and my business. The photos I keep close to my heart.

The Strate Family at the beach | Southern California Family Photographer

By Cass Miller on October 25, 2012 in Family, Lifestyle, San Diego, Travel

I photographed the Strate family last year and I was so stoked when Adriana contacted me again to do their family pictures. Have I mentioned how much I love returning clients? It’s always so nice to see them again, see how their kids have grown, and not to mention it’s pretty much the best compliment you could ever give a photographer. It’s been so much fun catching up with my clients from last year!

We wanted a fun and relaxed session for the Strate’s. Last year we enjoyed their beautiful neighborhood vineyard and this year we headed to the beach! It was such a fun session. I especially love the last shots of Gavin kicking around the soccer ball and just watching them play together as a family. Totally filled my photographer heart.

I love this family and cannot wait for next year!

Embrace the Camera – Beach Style

By Cass Miller on September 27, 2012 in I'm a mom, Personal, San Diego

Another embrace the camera day today!

Last weekend, I had a lovely session on the beach with a client from last year. I love returning clients. I love to see how much their families have grown and get to chat and catch up for an hour or so. (photos to come!)

What was lucky, was that on this particular beach session in Solana, my family was able to come and enjoy the beach while I was out shooting. I’ve got to admit it was only slightly painful trying not to watch my girls as they were just down the beach, but they had so much fun with auntie and daddy and as soon as our session wrapped, I headed over to them.

Stella welcomed me with a great big “MOMMY!” and ran over for a great big smooch. I swear this baby.. she never has me wanting for love. I am such a blessed mama.

Lucky for us, I had my camera all set and my sister was there to snag a shot of us at the beach. Too bad I look out of place fully covered from head to toe while my family is enjoying the waves in their suits, but it will remind me how blessed I am to be able to shoot at such beautiful locations and that I’m able to travel around with my family and let them enjoy these blessings as well.

Have you been embracing the camera? Share with me!

Ali and Willow

By Cass Miller on September 21, 2012 in Family, I'm a mom, Lifestyle, Personal, Portraits, San Diego

Last year my sweet sister Ali and her beloved pup Willow moved to Southern California. I was so excited to get the opportunity to shoot them on the beach, documenting their new life.

I love these girls more than I could ever explain.

Enjoy!

Here I am, world.

By Cass Miller on September 7, 2012 in Harlo, Personal, San Diego

I had such a great week. I had a week filled with motivation, inspiration, and opportunity. Not all my weeks are like this, but I’m so thankful for ones like this that come along.

I’m feeling extremely blessed and just ready. Ready to take this world by storm, and show it what I’ve got.

I feel like standing at the edge of the universe, with my arms wide open. Ready for whatever she sends my way.

And I promise you, I may never love another image as much as I love this one. My amazing little Harlo.

Happy Weekend!

Meet the Chiniquys | San Diego Family Photographer

By Cass Miller on November 4, 2011 in Family, Lifestyle, San Diego

I was so excited for the Chiniquy’s session. Chad and Karien have such a beautiful family and they gave me total free rein to do their session however I wanted. I immediately knew I wanted to do a family beach day. The session could not have gone better. I have known this family for quite some time and you can plainly see how stunning they are, but more than that, they are one of the sweetest and most loving families I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I really wanted to capture that in their session above anything else.

So here they are, meet the Chiniquys:
