Our History
Miller's Professional Imaging has grown to be the largest professional lab organization
in the United States. We provide professional prints and press products for professional
photographers in all fifty states. Since our inception, we have developed a reputation
for having the highest quality products, customer service, and technologies in the
industry, all of which have contributed to becoming the preferred lab of professional
photographers nationwide.
Miller's Professional Imaging began above Bill Miller's studio in downtown Pittsburg in
1964. Knowing he was limited in growth in this location, Bill constructed a new 3,900
square-foot facility in 1968 where it still stands on East Jefferson Street. Since that
time and with ten building expansions, the Pittsburg facility has grown to 80,000 square
feet in size. In order to meet the needs of the digital age, Miller’s built a second,
state-of-the-art, 40,000 square-foot facility in March of 2001. In 2003, Miller’s
launched Mpix, a fully web-based digital imaging lab to service the new, emerging
professional market.
Miller’s has a rich history in photography. Bill Miller was a portrait and wedding
photographer before World War II. During the war, he was a cinematographer filming
much of the footage we still see on television documentaries. Besides receiving his
Masters in photography, Bill was also a recipient of the ASP Fellowship. Bill's son
Richard is now CEO of Miller’s. He is a Master Photographer, twice having been
named Kansas Photographer of the Year. Vice President, Dick Coleman, is also a
Master Photographer. Dick's son Todd Coleman is President and COO.
