Hi! My name is Jim Miller, and my wife Jacki and I own jimmages - contemporary wedding photography.

This is my blog, and I am so glad that you found me.

How to pronounce jimmages? Well, you could pronounce it jimmages, as in rhyming with images. You could also pronounce it Jim Images. And for those upscale clients, please let me give you the phonetic pronunciation...Zhim AH Zhay.

Just kidding. Pronounce it any way that you like. That's not important. What is important is that hopefully I just made you smile. That's my job you know... to make you smile at the wedding, to make you smile when you see your photographs, and to make you smile (OK, slightly grin) when you get your bill!

We are located in Sherman, TX, but we photograph amazing weddings all over the southwestern United States. My style might best be described as resembling photojournalism. That is to say, I photograph real events as they are really happening... staying on the DL and not interrupting every moment by asking you to stop, look at me, and have you give me an awkward forced looking smile.

But the truth is, we do need some formal portraits, so it's not completely a photojournalistic approach. I tell my clients that I do enough posed portraits to make their parents happy, but mostly I am capturing the real moments of the most important day of their life, which makes them very happy. So what is this style called? I dunno...it hasn't been around long enough to have a 'name' yet, so I just call it contemporary wedding photography. Sounds kind of cool, no?

So welcome aboard the jimmages blog. Feel free to look around, make yourself at home, and leave a comment or two.

And please feel free to shoot me an email or give me a call if you have questions. I have packages that will fit pretty much any reasonable budget. I am a really low key guy, I love what I do, and I get really excited when I see in a client's eyes that I have delivered more than they expected. Because sometimes smiles show up in the coolest ways...

| jimmages Christmas |

Christmas is my absolute favorite time of year.  It's a time for family and friends, but most of all, it's the celebration of the birth of our Lord.  


My family normally goes to my father-in-law's house for Christmas Eve, and then back to see what Santa brought the kids Christmas morning.

I am really bad about not taking enough family photos, so I thought this year I'd see how well the iPhone camera works.  I think it did fine.

I sincerely hope you and your family had a wonderful and safe Christmas season.  Now, on to Trans-Siberian Orchestra on Friday.

Enjoy!

Here's the familiar Christmas spread

















Here are Angie, Annette and Barry.  Annette actually appeared on the Ed Sullivan show the same night that the Beatles were introduced to us Yanks.  She was only like 5 or something!

















All of the kids preparing to open their gifts.  I sure hope they were all good this year...

















Here's my brother-in-law Matt.  Kind of reminds me of Blackbeard's famous braided beard :>)

















My father-in-law Jack's Aussie cork hat.  He says it keeps the flies away.  But since we were inside, I think it was more of a fashion statement.

















A close up of Pete, my son and director of security here at | jimmages |.






















It's just not Christmas for me without a new set of Simpsons' boxers.






















Sister-in-law Jami.  Recognize her?  She was on the hit TV show 'Fat March'.






















Pete and my lovely wife Jacki performing at the hootenanny part of the night.

















And Evie has to get in the act.

















I always try to recoup some of my expenditures at the annual poker game.  Here's my neice and nephew Chris and Crystal.






















Another member of my security team.  Here she's undercover, dressed as a common reindeer.

















But the tryptophan even gets to trained professionals eventually.
