C.R.E.A.T.E. Photography

Welcome to our blog! I finally convinced my mom to let me help her post some of her wonderful photography work so that others can enjoy it almost as much as I do!

By way of introduction:
My mom (Kimber) has an impressive background in photography from a young age. She used to work for a photo lab in California and from that time long ago has taken photographs at approximately 50 weddings, although only a few are recent as she chose to take a break from photography to focus on her family. Also, her camera although well-loved, was quickly falling by the wayside in terms of technology!

I have grown up benefiting from her talents and I do strive to learn things from her, because she has that natural 'eye' for good photographs. She is my best critic.

She absolutely loves her current camera - a fabulous digital SLR Rebel XTI by Canon along with an amazing lens that she simply glows over.

I did pick up her passion for photography and have been taking photos since middle school. I spend a lot of time doing self-portraiture with my trusty tripod and my Canon Rebel.

I cannot remember when, but I fell in love with photoshop. I love how you can give a photo an entirely different feel by playing with lighting and colors. I also do a lot of re-touching, mostly facial, but there are times when something in the background just doesn't fit! When my mom critiques something in my photo - I usually respond, "I can fix that!"

We have decided to call our blog: C.R.E.A.T.E. photography, meaning: Capturing Really Elegant And Timeless Exposures, because we do love creating and capturing meaningful photos and sharing them with you!

We are located in the east valley, specifically Mesa, Arizona. We have also taken pictures around the valley in various places including Phoenix, Arizona and Scottsdale, Arizona as well as various places out of state. (Especially California!)

If you'd like to spend some time with us as we capture elegant photographs of you, please send us an e-mail at CREATEphotography@gmail.com.

We promise elegant and beautiful photographs, and we always provide a CD of our images, because we believe that you should always get what you pay for!

Please comment on your favorite photograph so we know you stopped by!

Sincerely, Jenesse Millard
