Christa Lynn Miller

Portrait photographer

Baxley, GA

Hello, my name is Christa Lynn, I am a portrait photographer that’s loves capturing beautiful images for wonderful people. Weather it be a styled glam session, family, children, generational, or head shots for branding I can offer each of these genres and give them a great experience as well a high class product. I have mastered my craft of photography. Weather I’m shooting people, places, or items I can shoot any genera needed. I have two full frame cameras with a variety of lens. I think no matter what genera your shooting inside studio or outside shooting car or homes I can tell you with the upmost confidence I am your girl. Knowing how to operate my camera with the correct settings, lens, angle of view and posing the subject creating a contextual sound and pleasing to the viewer I can shoot. I feel it’s up to me to make a shoot happen and do it correctly. If your hired to shoot a sun tan cream on a sunny day on the beach but the day of your shoot it’s pouring rain. I am prepared in advance for these type of issues because in life changes, circumstances change and as a photographer I have the job til capture the best image I possibly can. My solution to fixing the shoot mentioned above would have been to arrange to shoot in studio with real sand, props and correct lighting will appear as though I have shot on the beach on a sunny day. That’s what photography is all about adapting to your needs to create great imagery for your clients. I create a art board lay out with a shoot list with three possible styled shooting. I have back up equipment and travel equipment for all styles. I am very knowledgeable and can run all applications in Abode Creative Cloud as well as Exposure Software. I can also run any application in Microsoft. Authorized to work in the US for any employer

I was a hair stylist for my first career that spanned over 21 years. I owned and successful ran my own hair salon for 11 years. I sold out to one if the 5 stylist that had been with me since I opened. I ran my salon on the basis of if I can’t pay my overhead alone no other stylist with me I would not be successful. In life we can only control ourselves therefore depending on other stylist to meet my cost of doing business would have been left me with a recipe of possible failure.
