Why Small Businesses Matter

Shop small, do big things for your community

Why Small Businesses Matter puts a spotlight on the local merchants who donate their time, talent, goods, and services for the betterment of our community. The shop local movement spreads virally as local businesses who are “tagged” have the opportunity to share their story!

You're IT Wilton Portraits!

Four questions with Brian Miller, founder of Wilton Portraits.

Why did you start your business?

Wilton Portraits was born out of my love of photography and my passion to capture people’s personalities through images. What started as portraits of my two daughters, has blossomed into a business that includes Wedding photography, as well as fashion, family and portrait photography.

Finish this sentence in regard to your business. "I wish I could…"

I wish I could continue growing Wilton Portraits so that it becomes my full-time job. I have been a creative professional for 25 years, but photography has always been a hobby. Until now.

What is your best selling product/service?

My most popular service is my portrait session. I have had the good fortune of photographing many local business people, like Andrew Berman and his team of personal trainers, as well as the Police Chief of Westport and his family. I have photographed celebrities, including the cast of This Old House and the teen star of a Nickelodeon TV show.

How many local businesses do you use to support your business (products and services) and can you name them?

I am looking forward to partnering with many local businesses as my business grows. We love the town of Wilton, and as a family, we support local shops and businesses as much as we can. Each year I enter the Wilton Arts Association’s FOCUS competition. In 2018, I received an honorable mention and I’ve also received a Silver Award in the Connecticut Art Directors Club Awards Show for my photography.

Wilton Portraits is located at 76 Seir Hill Rd in Wilton. Visit Wilton Portraits online here.
