Selling of unedited images!!! Yikes...not for me..

My Edited version

                    obviously SOOC (straight out of camera)

MadMile Photography Copyright 2012

A lot of my clients have asked about the unedited images.  Most want to at least view them, others actually ask to purchase them.   The answer for is the same for both.  I choose not to allow my unedited images to be viewed or purchased.  The reason being is that I feel like what you see after editing is usually a lot different, preferably better....than the straight out of the camera image.  Even allowing you to view the unedited images to select which ones to be edited is really not going to work.  You may overlook a image that will look beyond amazing once edited...but you would never know.  It all comes down to ....you have researched your photographer...you like their work...and you trust their opinion.   So when a photographer says..."photographers choice"....its because they are going to provide you with the best they can offer...in their style and image ...

I was actually inspired to right this post by a similar post by Pretty Presets for lightroom & acr....you can also find them on Facebook here.

They have done a wonderful job of really helping you understand the difference.  

So much of a photographers style comes from the way a image is edited and displayed...you should consider that when selecting a photographer for you and your family.  

Have a Great Day!!

Go Madison...& Go Marlin's Swimmers!!

Today was a cold day in Florida, highs in the 50's, windy and Madison had a swim meet!!

Madison, my 4 yo and my oldest,  was so excited and didn't even think it was a big deal about the weather until she got out of the water for the first time during warm ups....brrrr...!!   I think it was because she had so many wonderful people there to support her and cheer her on...One of them being her friend Kyndall...

So then we are ready to go...its time for her to really get her swim on...and then we find out...Today she will swim the butterfly for the first time at a meet...!! So anxious to see how she does.. :)  But for her...it is no big deal...

It was so awesome...Every time I see her swim at a meet...It amazes me!  She is such a strong little girl with a ton of determination..she will not give up.

At the end of everything...she was exhausted...but proud of her self and the achievements she made today.  Looking forward to Orlando,Florida next weekend..as she goes at it again.

Thats my girl... Love her!

Our Christmas Tree / Decorating

This time of year not only warms my heart but fills me with lots of Joy.  The girls are old enough now to start actually "understanding" what Christmas is all about.  As we were decorating our tree, we talked about all of our ornaments and when we got them, what the mean/represent.  Madison is learning John 3:16 at school and recites it so often when at home that I think that Miley just may pick it up. :) 


Every year I take pictures, this is my first year sharing any. Most of the time I keep them for myself.
(This is a personal share rather than a professional one, so to save on time and to keep it simple...All images are SOOC!!)


First we started by helping Daddy decorate the outside of the house...a big job, luckily he loves to do it ...and...the girls love to help!

Madison helping Daddy!

Miley helping Daddy!

Then onward to the tree..Yes..I know what your going to say...its not real...lol..Like I said...trying to keep things simple! haha

 

 

Now just to share a few ornaments we put up every year...all represent our family..  

 

 

 

 

 

Merry Christmas!!

May you remember Christ is the reason for the season and to spend time with the ones you love...

God Bless

Liles / Kail Family Sneak Peek

This past weekend I was privileged to spend some of my Black Friday with this wonderful group.  They are a great set of friends and have a wonderful family dynamic!!

They even dressed in christmas pj's for some of the session...It was lots of fun!!

Who/What is Mad & Mile.....?

     




     So as I talked with a new client over the phone recently, I was approached with the question, "Who/What is Mad & Mile, in your business name?"


     I answered my client during that phone conversation...and it got me thinking...not everyone knows 'me'.  So there for I give you...


"Mad"......    Madison Paige, 4 years old (almost 5, she will tell you!!)

AND...

"Mile".......   Miley Brooke, 2 years old (3 in December)

     Well, There you have it..!  These two girls are such a big part of MadMile Photography, not just in the name..but in the developing of it.  

     Photography has always been something I loved. Whether it was back years....ago(haha)...in high school and college, making every moment count on camera...so not to forget anything or anyone!!  Or as I have grown up, capturing endless memories with my loved ones and friends...such as holidays, weddings, births, showers, special dinners..etc.  Photography has always been a major part of my life.  I always knew it would be with me.  

     As I became a mother..I have been fortunate enough to be at home with my girls and spend endless amounts of time with them, watching them change and develop. One of the things I stress to them is that, no matter what it is that you want to do...if you stick with it and put your mind to it..You Can Do It!!

     So when it came to thought that I may want to put my work out there for others to see, expose my style to redicule or praise..whichever it may be...I became nervous and started second guessing myself.  MadMile and my husband David pushed me to do what I wanted...and not to think of the rest..telling me...You Can Do It!!

     I love them so much and appreciate the loads of support I receive from them...

     I am Thankful for everyday I have with them..

Happy Happy Thanksgiving...!!

P.S.  We are expecting our third little bundle sometime late summer!!  ..not sure how to add another name to the business name...but if you know me....I will find a way!
