Time keeps flying by…

As parents we get how busy your schedule can get.  You are juggling kids schedules, travel calendars, and an endless to-do list.  

After all, you have hundreds of images on your camera roll, so getting everyone together for a portrait gets pushed down on the to-do list.  Before you realize it, years have gone by since everyone was all together for a portrait. You have lots of images, but none that are worth hanging prominently in your home. 

  • Don't know when to schedule?

  • Waiting for their big kid teeth or a hairstyle to grow?

  • Unsure what would look best in your home?

  • Worried not everyone will cooperate? 

You’re not alone. Many find themselves facing these same problems with family portraits. Scroll down to learn more about the solution I offer to solve these problems.

Meet Tim McMillian

Growing up, my parents loved taking photographs of our family, usually with disposable cameras. My mother, however, was notorious for accidentally cutting off everyone’s heads, and then would toss the undeveloped photos into a dresser drawer where they sat, unused and unorganized. At the time, they seemed unimportant.

After my father passed away, those forgotten photographs became treasures. What once felt like clutter transformed into priceless reminders of love, life, and connection. It was then that I truly understood the power of photographs—not just to capture moments, but to preserve the people we cherish most.

That realization shaped my purpose as a photographer: to celebrate life, especially the people we love most. Therefore, my work is about more than pictures—it’s about creating meaningful, personal artwork that families can proudly display and pass down.

No matter what stage of life your loved one is in, there is never a wrong time to have them photographed. I invite you to schedule a portrait consultation to begin creating heirloom artwork—artwork that matters—for you and your family to enjoy for generations.

Here’s How It Works

1. Let’s Chat

It starts with a quick chat on the phone. Once you know we are the right fit, we will work together to make sure the experience and artwork we create is custom to you. I want to get to know all about your family so I can create an experience catered to you that results in artwork that will blend seamlessly with your home.

2. Your Session

Your session is designed just for you and to be FUN! You will play, laugh, snuggle and be yourselves in front of our camera. Worried you won’t know what to do? I have your back and will make sure to photograph you and your family authentically. With years of experience photographing people, I make sure everyone looks and feels great.

3. Your Ordering Appointment

The moment you've been waiting for! Sit back and relax as I project your images larger than life on the walls of your home where they will be displayed. I will hold your hand throughout this process, from choosing your favorite images to selecting wall art perfectly created to complement your home. When we’re done you will have wall portraits that give your home a look you’ll love for generations.

Portraits matter more than ever.

Too many families skip taking the time to get everyone together to create a portrait that they will love looking at each and every day.  Instead they rely on images that live on their phones to remember their family by.

I love to make the portrait process simple, easy and most of all FUN!  I document your families unique and genuine personalities.

I create portraits you will love, that you can use to decorate your walls for generations.  I want you to remember your family at every stage, with artwork that never goes out of style.

What’s Next?

The next questions are usually what will the investment be and when can we get started. I get it, trust me! If you are doing the work to get everyone together, you want to make sure you have images everyone loves that will enhance your home.

I make sure each client not only leaves with images they love but that they leave framed, artist signed and ready to hang, destined to be enjoyed for years to come.
