I'm Tim Miller, a wedding & lifestyle portrait photographer based in Springfield, Missouri. My expertise and joy in life, is in photographing those once in a lifetime smiles, laughs and moments that only photography can capture. Here at my blog you'll find stunning wedding photos, fun slide shows, beautiful senior photo shoots, commercial modeling work and timeless family moments. All captured with one philosophy in mind, keep it real. Real Love, real life, real photography... That's what Red Vine Studios is all about.
So, please... me casa, su casa! Enjoy your time, and be sure to drop me an email and let me know when I may be of service to you and your family.
For the next 7 days, for every comment on the blog (anywhere, any post), I will donate one can of food to the local Springfield Victory Mission’s food bank. This is a really easy, simple way, you can help give back in this season of holiday need.
It’s simple. You click below where it says, add comment. You leave a comment, any comment, say hi, say goodnight, say rockin’ photos Tim *blush*, but I will still donate one can of food myself for every comment left.
If you’re a participating photographer or blogger and want to do the same, please let me know in your comment and I’ll be sure to leave you some blog love as well!

December 17, 2008 - 8:54 AMCharlie Bell - I get calls for help every day. Many days there are 5 or 6 people calling to get some sort of help. One of the sources that I send them to is Victory Mission. Often, even they, are out of supplies. Times are hard and its time for people with good ideas and the right motives to step up and make a difference . . . . even if it's just one can at a time.
December 17, 2008 - 9:43 AMSuzanne McNeely - Congratulations Tim, on everything! Your website is awesome! I wished we lived in Springfield so my family could use you as a photographer. Wished I could of had you at my wedding!

Brendon Foster, you are my hero. Please watch this video, then read below…
The video above as you might have already known about or not, is about a young man, Brendon Foster who passed away recently but left a legacy. Brendon only wish, when told he had two weeks left to live was to help others, namely the homeless he saw on the way home.
Red Vine Studios, in honor of Brendon’s final selfless wish and the holiday season, will be donating 25% of all portrait session fees to feed the homeless. Our proceeds will be donated to the Springfield Victory Mission, http://www.victorymission.com/ . The Springfield Mission is an evangelical outreach that operates year around on donations alone. Please remember others in this time of economic hardship and need.
Any client or family who donates 5 cans of food, will receive 25% off the $75.00 normal portraiture fee, along with the DVD from that photo session. That makes most sessions (about an hour), only 56 dollars and some change. 18 dollars and change can feed a lot of people who are in greater need than you or I. The time is quickly closing, so please contact me today to set up your family photo shoot. There is still time to print those last minute Christmas cards, magnets, phoot related gifts, etc. I will be updating the blog, with further details if you would like to donate food only, and receive credit towards a future photo shoot. I will not allow the weather or time of year affect our giving spirit.
For my wedding clients, I have a special announcement as well. In the spirit of giving, the $500.00 retainer fee officially is split in half until January 1st 2009. So instead of $500.00 dollars to book any wedding date available, it only takes $250.00. I would never want to put anyone into hard times just to gain my services. All dates that are not booked currently (May only has 2 dates, and June has 2 dates left) are eligible.
My past and current clients, who has made Tim Miller Photography and now Red Vine Studios what it is today. I have not forgotten you either. For all current and past clients, all wedding, portrait and commercial galleries have a revolving discount that is automatically set up to discount your last minute orders.
5% off for any orders (sub-total only), $25-50
10% off for any orders, $50-75
15% off for any orders, $75-100.00+
God bless you all in this time of holiday cheer that we all love so dearly. Remember your friends, family, our President and President elect, our service men and women the world over and the real reason why we celebrate Thanksgiving, God and his bountiful harvest.
December 7, 2008 - 11:15 AMBob Decker - Good project Tim. I hope you the best of luck with it. It's always great to see someone giving back.
November 27, 2008 - 3:11 AMmy hero | Digg.com - [...] Brendon Foster, A REAL hero - Happy Thanksgiving from Red Vine Studios Brendon Foster, you are my hero.

Welcome! Today I dusted off my slideshow program, spending all night working on this huge post. So below instead of photos we have a gigantic, 120 photo, stuffed to the gills with love and happy people, wedding slideshow from the Brad and Kendra Crevier wedding.
My thanks again go out to Brad and Kendra for their blessing of allowing me to be their photographer.
I had a blast going up to the Kansas City area and beyond! Please be patient as it loads, and enjoy the show once it does. (UPDATE - If the slideshow is choppy or is loading forever, it is due to my web hosts in California. I am in communication with them about this issue, please forgive the slowness of the site. You might try viewing the show in gallery mode, by clicking the right hand icon and selecting gallery mode.)
Thanks again for stopping by! Stay tuned a few more weeks until the full galleries go online! God bless!
by Tim
