Seriously, you can learn so much from each other, and you can really grow your business. Some of the great local photographers I’ve gotten to know this year are Milla and her husband Brad of Milla C. Photography.

Milla is not only a talented photographer, she is also a great friend and person. I guess that makes her a friendtographer? OK, lame butchering of the English language. Anyway, I don’t think you could ever be depressed hanging out with Milla–she has this awesome laugh and joyful presence that’s really contagious. Plus, she and Brad are also Pittsburgh transplants from Florida, so they can relate to our adventures of trying to explore Pittsburgh while getting completely lost.

So, when Milla asked me if I could take some photos of her and Brad to use for Christmas/New Year’s cards this weekend, I was definitely excited. It’s a perennial problem for us photographers…we rarely have photos of ourselves! I have to admit, though, that it’s a bit intimidating photographing another photographer, but these two made it so easy and fun. We met up at Frick Park on Saturday and enjoyed the beautiful, if chilly, weather. And of course, they brought along their “kids,” Tuco and Turk.


Ha, this one’s just for laughs…Tuco persisted in standing right in front of the camera, so what else was I to do?

You know what’s really neat about Milla and Brad? They’ve been married for six years–and they’re still totally in love with each other. Awesome.

I love how Turk is looking politely away…

Standing guard.

Milla–you are so BEAUTIFUL. Seriously girl.

Check out Milla’s cute hair piece…I thought it was an Etsy find…but no, it’s from Target my dear friends! I might have to get myself one…

Thanks guys for being such awesome friends!
