Camera in hand ready to help capture those special moments.

—

Hey everyone, my name is Andrew Miller - a photographer in Southport, Oak Island, Raleigh, NC and everywhere in between.

I was born and raised in southeastern North Carolina near the coast where I started taking pictures by capturing the beauty of the NC coastline. Since then, I’ve expanded my portfolio and shoot wedding, engagement, graduation, family portrait sessions and everything in between.

I lived in Southport and Oak Island for two years where I started taking portraits and launched my photography business. Since, I have moved to Raleigh, NC to be in the same city as my fiancé (now wife)!

My favorite thing about capturing those special moments in life is seeing the reactions of my satisfied clients when they first see the photos from their session. That, paired with a beautiful NC sunset, are hard to beat hence why I tend to always have the camera in my hand.

Thank you for your support of a North Carolina small business!

  • Owner & Your Photographer

    I’m Andrew - the guy behind the camera and your photographer for your upcoming session!

  • My Wife

    Jessica is my rock and my support daily. She is a proud dog mom of our sweet Sully and Banks. She is a graduate of Campbell Law School, recently passed the bar in September of 2025 and serves as a family lawyer in eastern North Carolina.

  • Co-Director of Smiles

    Sully is our sweet pup that we adopted over three years ago. He is our world and ironically does not like when dad takes photos of him. (I do it anyway)

  • Co-Director of Smiles

    We added Banks to the family in the fall of 2024 after we got married. He’s a little crazy and doesn’t like to sit still for photos. He’ll make you smile through.
