This will get you started: jsFiddle example - look below for a better method.

Basically, vertical-align:middle and display:inline-block are used on both the p and the img elements for centering.

HTML

    
    
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text 

CSS

.element {
    background:rgb(134, 226, 255);
    margin:10px;
}
p {
    display:inline-block;
    margin:0px;
    width:70%;
    background:white;
    vertical-align:middle;
}
img {
    display:inline-block;
    vertical-align:middle;
}

Here is better approach using display:table/display:table-cell Same HTML..

jsFiddle example - semi-responsive... Other jsFiddle example - responsive img elements..

CSS

.element {
    width:100%;
    display:table;
    background:rgb(134, 226, 255);
    margin:10px 0px;
    padding:10px;
}
p {
    display:table-cell;
    height:100%;
    vertical-align:middle;
    background:white;
}
img {
    display:table-cell;
    width:100%;
    height:auto;
}

Yet another update using media queries

You could obviously use whatever breakpoints you want. I use 480px, as this is just for example purposes. Try resizing the window. jsFiddle example

CSS

@media only screen and (min-width: 480px) {
.element {
    width:100%;
    display:table;
    background:rgb(134, 226, 255);
    margin:10px 0px;
    padding:10px;
    box-sizing:border-box;
    -moz-box-sizing:border-box;
    -webkit-box-sizing:border-box;
}
p {
    display:table-cell;
    height:100%;
    vertical-align:middle;
    background:white;
}
img {
    display:table-cell;
    width:100%;
    height:auto;
}
}
@media only screen and (max-width: 479px) {
.element {
    width:100%;
    background:rgb(134, 226, 255);
    margin:10px 0px;
    padding:10px;
    box-sizing:border-box;
    -moz-box-sizing:border-box;
    -webkit-box-sizing:border-box;
}
p {
    background:white;
}
img {
    width:50%;
    margin:0px auto;
    display:block;
    height:auto;
}
}
