Hi there! Welcome to the Catherine Milliron Photography blog, the place where my passion for photography, travel, and business collides.

I love serving and celebrating my couples on their happiest days and I love serving and celebrating other business owners as I share my knowledge and love of business education.

White Rock Lake Bridal Portrait Session

weddings

It’s been a little over three months of marriage for these cuties, and I’ve been holding off on sharing their bridal portraits for just this very moment!! About a month after they said “I do,” Amanda and Christian got dressed back up in their wedding attire for a one month anniversary bridal session at White Rock Lake in Dallas, Texas and OH MY GOSH GUYS are they not the CUTEST thing you’ve ever seen??

Ohio State Football Stadium Surprise Proposal

portraits

Honestly, I don’t think there is anyone better to tell you about Jill and Cory’s love story than Cory himself. He found me through Instagram and when he inquired with me about shooting his surprise proposal at Ohio Stadium (home of the Buckeyes!), he had the sweetest words to say about their relationship, and the significance that Ohio State University holds to both of them.

Ohio State University College Campus Senior Portraits

portraits

Phoebe is a vocal music education major, and part of her degree requirement for graduation is that she must perform a senior recital. I remember that life alllllll too well (since that was me literally eighteen months ago), so when she reached out and asked me to take her pictures for her senior recital, I thought I knew exactly what she had in mind. Most senior recital pictures feature someone in a long flow dress standing in the middle of a field of tall grass somewhere, but not Phoebe. She said she wanted something different, unique, and edgy. So we set out to make that vision come to life.

Downtown Columbus Short North District Engagement

engagements

I met Hannah and Mike through another one of my precious 2019 couples, Christina and Josh. When I first met these two, I knew we were going to be fast friends. We spent their engagement session in downtown Columbus in the Short North district, laughing and dodging the crowds of people as they danced and hugged in the middle of the bustling city. They were so sweet and loving towards each other, and they were willing to adventure and try new things – they even stood in the middle of moving traffic so I could snap a long exposure shot, freezing them in time.

Adventurous Dallas Texas 2019 Senior Portrait Sunrise Session

portraits

I’ve known Kayleigh for what honestly seems like forever. I met Kayleigh when she was probably 8 years old, and gosh, she’s honestly become family to me. I always call her my sister, and her family is my “second family.” Her family were the first ones to let me take their portraits back when I firstttt got my camera in high school (bless their hearts – they were SO kind to me and loved their pictures even though I made them all wear purple and stand barefoot in a park…what on earth was I thinking haha??).

Columbus Hayden Run Falls Sunrise Engagement

engagements

Christina and Josh are by far one of the most adventurous couples I have shot to date. They arrived to their sunrise session at Hayden Run Falls on one of the chilliest winter mornings. There was frost everywhere and we could see our breath in the air, but that didn’t dull their enthusiasm in the slightest. They cuddled together closer as we shot to keep warm and they so naturally laughed and played with each other as their love for each other came to life in front of the camera.

Ohio Fall Tall Dried Grass Field Sunset Engagement

engagements

My goodness – I love these two. You can tell that they’re not only the sweetest couple, but the best of friends. Danielle and Aaron are the most genuine – in their love for each other and in their love for the Lord. Their relationship is a beautiful celebration of the faithfulness of Christ in their lives and you can tell that sacrifice and faithfulness are the foundation of their love.

Fall Columbus Ohio German Village Engagement

engagements

My session with Brooke and Seth was just so much fun. We met up in the German Village district and spent the evening laughing as we walked the streets of downtown Columbus. They showed me their victory handshake they do when Ohio State scores a touchdown, Seth made Brooke twirl him in the middle of the sidewalk, and I definitely fangirled over them enough that Seth was rolling his eyes at me pretty consistently by the end of their session.

Playful Outdoor Late Summertime Ohio Engagement

engagements

They say that all you need is love. . . and these two have love in abundance. My heart kept melting during their session (and then all over again as I was editing) because the way they simply adore and cherish each other is so incredibly evident in their eyes. Nothing about the chemistry you see in these pictures was contrived; Michaela and Stephen simply loved just being together (and playing together – they did a lot of that too). Michaela and I met when we were randomly assigned to sit next to each other at a school banquet two years ago, and I couldn’t have been more excited when she reached out asking me to take their engagement photos. These sweet friends are currently dating long-distance as they plan their wedding for next summer: she lives in Florida and he lives in Ohio. When Michaela came into town for the weekend, we jumped on the opportunity to capture their love story in the place that brought them together.

Forty-Sixth Wedding Anniversary Session

portraits

Truly, there’s not much I can say about these pictures – the photos themselves say it all. 

Dennis and Deb have been married for forty-six years. Forty. Six. Years. Truly, they are #goals. As you can see from their precious photos, they are still just as in love with life and with each other as they were the day they said “I do.” Forty six years of laughter and love are evident all through these images, from the laugh lines as a result of years of joy to the hands still wearing the rings promising a commitment to always. Their long legacy of love speaks for itself.
