Miranda Lynn Photography

"When other people see happiness and bright colors, it makes them feel joy too" 
 - Miranda Wieber
   Owner of Miranda Lynn Photography

There are a lot of picture takers out there, especially these days, but then there are actual photographers, and Miranda Wieber is one of the best. As Miranda and I talked, I brought up how I personally love photography, but I am not a photographer, I am a picture taker. I have not spent the hours of training and apprenticing that it truly takes to become a photographer. I don't know how to use my camera professionally. But Miranda was quick and kind to say, "well, we really all just start out as picture takers." This humility and kindness is just part of what makes Midland, Michigan's Miranda Wieber, owner of Miranda Lynn Photography, such a phenomenal choice for wedding and family photos.

Miranda has been a professional photographer for 7 years now, but her passion started in middle and high school. She loved to take pictures, yes, she too was a picture taker, and she loved to see how the film would turn out. She started out, as most picture takers do, by taking pictures of just about anything, but she was quick to realize she enjoyed photographing people the most. She truly enjoys the emotional connection of taking pictures of people and capturing life's most precious moments of weddings and families growing through the years.

 

Eventually Miranda's, then fiancé, now husband, gifted her with her first digital camera, the rest is history. She loves how digital photography has opened up a whole new set of opportunities for the photographer as well as the client. The photographer can learn faster and perfect their craft with the quick results and the client can instantly have their trust built as they can get instant sneak peaks of the photographer's work.

 

The handful of gifted photographers Midland County boasts of are all so very different in style and approach. Some more dramatic, some black and white, some enjoy playing with filters. Some pose, some capture emotion in action, some do both. Miranda is a digital photographer who shoots manually. This means in short, she knows how to use her camera, the tool of her trade. This is something you certainly want in a photographer. She does not count on the camera getting the shot for her, she knows the shot she wants in her creative mind's eye and she makes her camera do exactly what it needs to in order to grab the perfect picture. Miranda is drawn to a clean, bright style as you can see in her photos. She is drawn to happiness and knows how to shoot lovely romantic and emotional photographs. She also loves getting to know her clients so they feel at ease working with her. Her years of experience have also helped her to know how to help clients relax and take beautiful, natural pictures.

 

When asked what keeps her going as a small business owner Miranda says it's definitely the end product. She loves to see how people are quick to share their images of special occasions. Scrolling through social media she often sees her images and just loves that she is able to capture such special moments for people to share. Miranda also believes that being a small business owner helps her to be able to structure her time in a way that fits her family. She loves that her children see her work. Working from home while she edits, her children will see she has a valuable trade that is a talent and contributes to the family, this is important to Miranda. She is hopeful she will spark passion in their hearts by involving them and letting them watch the process. Miranda encourages other business owners to not be afraid to grow slow. Also she states "don't be afraid to make mistakes and keep learning. If you are not making mistakes from time to time, you are not trying anything new".

 

Miranda was asked what she enjoys about Midland. She said she enjoys the perfect size of the town, not too big or too small. Also that with venues like Dow Gardens and the Chippewa Nature Center she does not have to go far for great settings for a shoot.

Getting to know Miranda myself I will say she is very easy to talk to and get to know. She is someone people have ease around, this is an important quality at events such as weddings. She is gifted in being able to help bring peace in situations that can tend to be high stress. She also is extremely organized, has beautiful ideas as you can see from her pictures, and she is extremely knowledgeable. Miranda Lynn Photography is a trusted photographer. Taking pictures of special occasions is never wasted money when you have such a delightful professional to work with.
