It's been so hot....and I am so ready for fall. I love the light, the colors, the hoodies. Fall sessions are my favorite.

Throwback Thursday! Is that still a thing? Can we bring that back? I say yes.

Throwback to September of 2015....*just* eleven years ago. Lottie was such a kick to photograph, she was always so expressive and fun.

Close-ups and details are some of my favorite things. And I try to include them in all my sessions. 💛

Another Five on Friday! Have a great weekend!

A walk in the woods to explore and found a couple of furry friends, some weird orange mushrooms. Finished the week with a football game on Thursday and a doggo enjoying the breeze.

You only live once....but if you do it right, once is enough.

Make sure you take pictures of all of it along the way, though. 😉

Sometimes we roll around in the grass and act all goofy....and that's okay. It's these in-between moments that feel the most real. 🩷

Got to hang out with these sweet little gremlins last night. Don't let those calm faces fool you--they gave me a run for my money! But, I wouldn't want it any other way.

Be sure to give my page a like if you want to follow along and see more of sneak peeks of these cuties. Limited dates are open for August and September sessions, so shoot me a message to grab one!

It's Five on Friday time again! For all my new friends--I started Five on Friday to help me get out and shoot just for me, and to remember to document my own life. It also gives me a chance to experiment with different editing styles, subjects, lenses, etc that I don't always get to do with client images. It keeps things interesting. So enjoy! Let me know which image this week is your favorite!

All the images this week are from the same night at the beach. I worked most nights at my "other" job and wasn't able to get out with my camera much, unfortunately. I got to play around with a...

Hi there, and welcome friends--old and new! I want to take a sec to announce the relaunch of Crystal Miel Photography and to introduce myself for those who don't yet know me. Hey. I'm Crystal, of course! 🙂 I was honored to serve the northeast Indiana area for more than 7 years before moving to Muskegon, Michigan almost 6 years ago. Unfortunately, our move coincided with the start of covid shutting everything down. Photography wasn't something that was going to happen for a while. When things got back to normal life was crazy and it just never happened. Talk about time getting away from you! But now, it's time to get back: back to doing what I ❤️, what I am passionate about. I'm excited and cannot wait to get started photographing the beautiful children and families of West Michigan! So if you are in the Musekgon or surrounding area message me, and let's have some fun!
