Tera and Todd {Orlando Engagement Photographer}

I met this gorgeous couple in downtown Orlando for their e-session! We had so much fun and I can't wait for their wedding next year.

We started off around Lake Eola...

We stopped into Eola Wine Company for a glass of wine. Tera and Todd consider themselves "wannabe" wine connoisseurs.

We then made our way down to Latitudes, the bar where they met! I love it when couples personalize their engagement sessions.

Todd pulled out the running man to get Tera's attention. Of course, we had to recreate this scenario at Latitude's! This is how it alllll started! I wish I was computer savvy and could animate this picture but I'm not so you will just have to imagine it!

Cute picture at the bar! I guess Tera was SUPER impressed with the dance moves ;)

When I asked Tera what Todd's interests were, she told me money. He's an accountant so I guess that makes sense! Hence, this picture (which I love!)

So cute!

Thanks Todd and Tera! I had so much fun with you guys :)

In other news, I have a couple of announcements!

Photo Shoot at the Fair {Orlando Baby Photographer}

Before I get to the photos, I just wanted to clarify something. I get questions all of the time if I got a divorce. The answer is NO! I was a single mom last year for approximately 3 months while my husband was working in Alaska. He came home at the end of October and will probably be leaving again soon to work there again. Thank you everyone for all of your concern and support!

You may remember the photo contest I had last year. Well the winner lives in Minnesota but was able to make it down just in time for Sunny Grace's first birthday. I love this girl because she gives me complete creative control. We were trying to think of an amazing place to do their photo shoot on the way to the beach and we passed the Seminole County Fair. So PERFECT! I wanted to juxtapose a glam mommy with the grunge of a fair. I also wanted the shoot to have an editorial feel. Brandy was totally on board with my ideas and I LOVE the way the pictures turned out! One of my favorite sessions ever!

One of the best things was little Sunny Grace's face. It literally was her first time at the fair, riding the Ferris wheel and carousel and eating cotton candy. I know she will treasure these pictures when she grows up and that is why I love my job so much!

BTW...the entire concept was done by me! I even styled Brandy's clothes and did her make-up. If you are interested in having a styled shoot done by me, please email me at kristin[at]kristinmizophoto[dot]com

Trash the Dress

Why hello blog...it's been a while! I have a million excuses as to why I have not been updating but I am going to just start fresh!

A couple of weeks ago, I had two girls contact me to do a Trash the Dress. I thought everyone knew what this was but they had a lot of comments on their facebook wall that said otherwise. So I guess I should start with an explanation of what it is. It is basically a photo shoot where you put your wedding dress back on after the wedding and do things in it your wouldn't do on your wedding day to get a good picture. Many brides are opting to do this in lieu of preserving their dress in hopes that their daughters may one day want to wear it for their own wedding. It is also a great time to change your wedding day look with fun accessories, funky shoes, amazing hair pieces, ect. These were so much fun to do! The girls gave me total creative control so I picked a marsh (interesting to say the least) and gave the girls some funky black accessories. LOVE the way these turned out!!

These plants had needles on the end of them...she was very brave to lay down in them!

I hope it was worth it!

I wish I had a video outtake of this shot....getting her in this tree hanging over the water was HILARIOUS!

Email me at kristin [at] kristinmizophoto [dot] com if you are interested in doing a session like this. We don't have to actually trash your dress...just get really cool pictures that you can enjoy forever! Both girls were able to clean their dresses! It doesn't have to be just you either, you can include your husband too if you want!

Josh and LeeAnne {Orlando Wedding Photographer}

I have been looking forward to this wedding ALL year long! LeeAnne has kept me in the loop on all of the details for the wedding and I was so excited to see it all come together. LeeAnne's sister is SO TALENTED and personally created so many of the details which made the wedding even more special!

LeeAnne looked absolutely stunning! Her hair and make-up team really outdid themselves.

The gorgeous dress...

And HOT PINK shoes!!!

Ring shot!

LeeAnne was so excited to finally put on the dress!

A quick bridal portrait...

LeeAnne was starting to get anxious to see Josh....

I was so excited that LeeAnne and Josh opted for a first look. They got married in November and it gets dark at 5:00. Since LeeAnne made photos a priority, she wanted the best light so we did all of the pictures before the ceremony. Here is a picture of her bridesmaids protecting her so Josh didn't accidentally see her before the first look....

And here is Josh nervously waiting...

Hang on Josh...don't look yet! I LOVE this picture!!!

I love these moments right as they see eachother for the first time. It was such a special, private moment and I am so happy to have captured it :)

LeeAnne showing off her dress...

My awesome second shooter, Tab McCausland grabbed this shot!

Josh holding the bouquet...he looks like he likes it :)

A couple more pictures of the bride and grooom...

We then headed over to the ceremony site, Paradise Cove. It is so beautiful there and such a perfect place to get married!

The groomsmen were so silly....one of them suggested getting in this boat!

The girls looked stunning!

Here are some of the details from the ceremony! LeeAnne's sister made the programs...

Tabitha grabbed this picture of LeeAnne and her dad right before they walked down the aisle. She was so excited and full of smiles!

But as soon as she turned to walk down the aisle, the tears started flowing...

Josh's grandpa got up to say a prayer and remember Josh's father who passed away last year.

LeeAnne is just a little excited to finally be married!

The new Mr. and Mrs. Walker...literally 30 seconds after this was taken it started raining. Good thing all of their pictures were already done!

A sweet moment between LeeAnne and her mom right after the ceremony...

The reception site looked absolutely gorgeous!! I love all of the details!

The cupcakes were SO YUMMY!!!

First dance...

The sweet father/daughter dance...

LeeAnne got serenaded by one of the groomsmen...

And had a lot of fun dancing at the reception...here she is busting out the sprinkler!

A picture of me and the bride :) I look like a hot mess (thanks humidity!) but LeeAnne looks beautiful!!

I love the way Josh and LeeAnne shared the cake...

I don't know what Josh is doing but LeeAnne sure seems to be enjoying it!

The boys were very into catching the garter. Look at the one groomsmen getting ready to push the other one out of the way....

Go boys GO!

The girls were just as ready...look at those faces!!! LOVE IT!!!

Congratulations LeeAnne and Josh!! Thank you for letting me be a part of your day! I had so much fun and I am so thankful for new friends!

Much Love,
Kristin

An Explanation and an Announcement!

Hello blog...I've missed you! Since becoming a single mom three weeks ago, I have no longer have any time. Being a single mom hasn't been too bad so far but it is EXTREMELY time consuming. I also had THREE newborn shoots last week...two of them took more than one day :-/ All I can say is school cannot come fast enough. Of course...it your yearly reminder in August that Christmas is right around the corner! I will have a very limited number of sessions this year because of scheduling issues (unless I get a dependable babysitter) and I will also be holding 3 mini-sessions. These are extremely popular and already filling up fast so if you want one, act quickly! Here are all of the details...just and FYI, I have had requests for the October 18th and the November 15th dates to be places where doggies can be included :)

Here are the dates for the holiday mini-shoots! They will be $50 for 20 minute sessions...maximum of 9 sessions per date so if you are interested, let me know ASAP! I already know that the one in November will fill up VERY fast!

Saturday, October 3rd
Sunday, October 18th
Sunday, November 15th

Times and locations will be determined at a later date once I know who is interested. I am requiring all sessions be paid in full (non-refundable but transferable) to secure your spot. Email me at kristin[at]kristinmizophoto[dot]com to secure your spot or if you have any questions :)

If you want a full session (yay!) please contact me soon so I can get my schedule set and work it out with babysitters :) Thanks for understanding!

Since a blog post is SUPER boring without any pictures, here is a little sneak peek of two of the sessions I had last week...

One of my best friends finally had her baby...everyone is so excited! Isn't she ADORABLE?? She has the squishiest cheeks ever!

And here is a little sneak peek of the TRIPLETS!!!!

Here are the identical twins...

Til next time (and I promise to be faster)....

This is my awesome couple getting married in November! I am so so so excited for their wedding! The bride and I have truly become friends and it is so awesome! I love my job :)

Laughing pictures are always my favorite...a couple that laughs together, stays together :)

LeeAnne was trying to get Josh to do a natural smile :)

I love how their arms are making a heart ♥

It's Official

Charlie officially got the call on Thursday. His plane ticket is booked and he is leaving on Friday. The job he ended up getting is a full time job which I am not too happy about...he doesn't know when he can come home. He said he will definitely be home for Christmas. I only agreed to this whole Alaska thing in the first place because he was supposed to be working 6 weeks and then get 2 weeks off. Hopefully that job will open soon and I will be able to see him before Christmas. Until then, I am very grateful that he has work now. We will miss him so much!

I know I've posted these before...but I don't have many pictures of Charlie.

We love you and will miss you so much!

But he warmed up fast :)

She was a tiny one!

MacLellan Maternity {Orlando Maternity Photographer}

Don't forget to comment to enter the contest (see post below!). I did this adorable families maternity session forever ago (yes, I am very behind)! I will blog the newborn session tomorrow!

LOVE this one...

I guess the flowers kinda give away how long ago this was done ;P They are so beautiful but only bloom for about a week.

I had this idea that the beautiful flowers could rain down on top of her...Brady (the adorable two year old) just kinda chucked a huge handful...so cute!

Love this one too..you would never know that dad hates having his picture taken!

Mom wanted a feet picture...

LOVE this one too!

Odd and Ends and A CONTEST!!

I hope everyone had a fabulous holiday weekend. I know I did! Just a couple of odds and ends...

Remember this adorable pregnant lady??

She had her babies!! Three healthy baby girls to be exact! She made it to 34 weeks (exactly where they wanted her to make it) and all three girls are just perfect. They have been breathing room air since they came out. They will be home in the next couple of days and I will definately post their newborn session on the blog! Wish me luck ;)

Dylan lost his front tooth and it's kinda freaking me out. The gap is SO big! I haven't taken a picture of it yet...but here is a picture of him when the darn tooth was so loose he could push it almost horizontal! You can't really tell in this pic though...

And of course I can't post a pic of Dylan without a pic of Natalie...here she is trying out my new prop! Love it and can't wait to use it with one of my clients :) You can't really see it too well here but I just love Natalie's face in this one.

Ok, onto the contest! I posted this on my Facebook fan page yesterday but I thought I should post it here too (for all of you who aren't on Facebook!).

I'm going to do a drawing for a FREE session!! You can do several things to get entered into the drawing (multiple times if you do more than one!).

1. Become a fan of my fanpage (www.facebook.com/kristinmizophoto) and leave a comment on my page so I know you want to be entered into the contest!

2. Click on the review box and leave me a review on my fanpage (sorry....this is only for past clients but if you are a new client..see below!)

3. Go to my blog and leave a comment on a post (each comment will be another entry into the drawing!). I plan on blogging a lot this month so keep coming back and commenting!

The contest is from now until July 31st. Good luck :) PS..this contest is transferable so if you want to win and give it as the best Christmas gift ever, feel free!

Baby Lincoln {Orlando Newborn Photographer}

This is my 100th post! Do I get syndicated like the TV shows? I do have an announcement/question in honor of my 100th post!(Grandma...you can just skip right on down to the next paragraph!) I've been wanting to do a boudoir bash for a while now. If anyone has been thinking about doing boudoir pictures, this is for you! It would be held at a swanky hotel in downtown, include hair and make-up so you will look ultra hot, and a session album. The best part? It will all be brought to you for a BIG discount! I was thinking sometime in August to give everyone enough time to get ready. Also..don't worry about anyone being in the room while we are doing your pictures! We will have two rooms/suite so it will just be me and you in the room :) Please send me an email to kristin[at]kristinmizophoto[dot]com or leave a comment! If I get enough interest, I will start arranging everything.

Ok, on to baby Lincoln. Love this little guy! He was a sweet little preemie just home from his stay at the hospital. He was so good to me! He LOVED being naked and he didn't potty the WHOLE time I had him naked! More pictures coming soon but for now, enjoy these pictures! They are inspired by the incredible and infinitely more talented, Carrie Sandoval.

I couldn't decide which I liked better...serious...

or smiling....

Aiden is 1! {Orlando Family Photographer}

We ventured up to St. Augustine for this shoot. I was so excited to take go there again...it is such a neat place to photograph! Here are some of my favorites!

I love a little red head ;)

I thought Aiden would be scared of the pirate but he didn't seem to mind...

LOVED this fence!

I saw this wall and HAD to have pictures in front of it! Unfortunately, they had to stand behind an air conditionining unit in order to get the shot. Poor Liz got so DIRTY...I wish I got a picture of her legs after this shot. Aiden was a little scared of the unit at first...

But then I got a cute picture...and it is one of his mommy's favorites!

I LOVE this next picture!

I love this picture too...

We stopped by the beach for a couple more pictures.

Thanks for such a great session guys!

In case everyone is wondering, Charlie is not in Alaska yet. Apparently all of the contracts are caught up in permitting at the local government level. It is so annoying having to wait. For now, I am just enjoying the time we have left with him.

Here are some of the details. The very talented bride and her sisters designed the tables. They even made the cute little origami flowers!

Here they are walking in...I love the motion and feel of this one!

Yay! I am FINALLY blogging Gina and Doug's wedding! It was such a gorgeous day full of love. Their families invited me right in and made me feel like I was a part of the family! Thank you so much for inviting me to document your day!

When I arrived at the The Women's Club of Winter Park, Gina was still getting ready....
Hair was done by Danielle Watkins Email: danilwatkins@yahoo.com Phone: 407-380-9891

Gina forgot to wear a button down shirt and she had to be cut out of her shirt!

Time to put on the dress!

And the garter...

Shoes by Aldo

Gina's moms first look at her in her dress....

Hello gorgeous bride!

We made our way over to the church. They were married at Knowles Memorial Chapel on Rollins College campus.

Gina was a little nervous...

but super excited too!

Love this shot of Gina with Doug's grandparents...

You can tell Doug and his mom have a special bond...

We ended up at a nice spot by the lake.

Marisa has been one of my friends since third grade! She is expecting a little girl in July and we are all anxiously awaiting her arrival! Marisa wanted something extra special for her maternity photos so we spent the whole day in St. Augustine. I had so much fun and LOVED shooting there!!! It was so much fun shooting in a new place...so refreshing! Here are some of my favorites!

This was literally the first image I took..I knew it was going to be a great shoot!

Hello yummy light!

Loved these stairs!

I made her stand under this sign...no vacancy...in her belly, get it? haha!

So many cool places to shoot around town....

I loved this little alley...it had such pretty light!

Isn't she so gorgeous?? Absolutely glowing!!

At the end, we went down to the beach for a couple more pictures..

Tiny little baby bump...

I don't know why...but I just love this picture!

Gina and Doug Engagement {Orlando Wedding Photographer}

I know I always say this but I am so sorry for being MIA. I just don't know where the time is going. May, for some reason, is always super busy.

Ok, I am ready to make my big announcement!! A lot of us have been hit really hard by this economy including our family. Most of you know that my husband owns a land surveying company. Well, developers are not developing land and that leaves Charlie without much work. So, Charlie is taking a job in Alaska (yes, he got the job!!!!! for all of you patiently waiting for news). He is leaving in approximately two weeks. I will not be going with him and will be staying here to hold down the fort. I know it's going to be hard to basically be a single mom, but we have to do what we have to do in these hard times. It isn't too bad though because he will be working for 5-6 week increments and then get 2 weeks off. What does that mean for all of you? Well, pretty much nothing except my availability will be more limited. I just ask to please contact me well in advance of the date you want to do your photoshoot so that I can plan accordingly with babysitters, ect. So that's my big news...I know you were all holding your breath waiting to hear ;)

Ok, onto the pictures! I am shooting this gorgeous couples' wedding THIS Saturday!!! I am so excited and a little nervous. I will definitely blog the images next week. It is going to be so gorgeous! I can't wait.

Doug's son Trey came along to join in the fun...he is so handsome!

Gina is going to make such a gorgeous bride!!

Can't wait for Saturday guys!

Amy {Orlando Maternity Photographer}

You may remember this family from a while back. Austin was just about to have hip surgery the last time I posted. I am happy to say that he is doing better than ever!! He was actually walking this time which is so amazing. He also has some exciting news...his mommy is expecting three new baby sisters!!

Amy is one of the nicest people I have ever met. She is already on bedrest so we were a little limited with our session. I still had so much fun and I have so many favorites. Amy is stuck in bed for the next 10 weeks or so. Please keep her in your thoughts that she makes it to at least 34 weeks and all three babies come out healthy. On a side note...I am jumping with excitment because I get to photograph multiples! I have been DYING to get my hands on mulitples! I can't wait to post their newborn pictures!! Ok, onto the pictures...

Can you believe she is pregnant with triplets?? I don't think I looked this good with ONE baby!

Awww...sweet little Austin and his mommy...poor Amy can't pick him up.

I had the pleasure of meeting Amy's mom. They were so sweet together. Amy's mom has been the biggest help!

Amy was modeling for me...she doesn't even look pregnant!

The sweet family...soon to be a family of 6!!

They are so sweet together...

This was inspired from one of my favorite photographers, Susan Stripling. She is amazing!

Amy is modeling again...she is so gorgeous!

New Jersey!

So I've fallen a little behind on blogging since getting back from my trip. I fell a little behind on EVERYTHING while on my vacation. I am almost caught up now and blogging was definitely on my to do list!! While I was in New Jersey visiting Charlie's family, I (being the bestest cousin-in-law ever!) took some pictures of the little cousins.

Here is the new baby, Kara. She is such a chunk and I love it!! This is one of my absolute FAVORITE ages to photograph. Happy, smiling, chunky, sitting up but not moving yet = the best subject ever!
Do you see those dimples on her butt? So adorable!!

I have been dying to photograph kids in a big white tub. They are hard to find. I was squealing for joy when I saw this tub...with a huge window for natural light! I know...it doesn't take much to amuse me.

Can you believe the eyes on this baby??

Here are a couple pictures of Natalie at the park...

The child may not look ANYTHING like me...but she does make my facial expressions! Both of my kids inherited my very expressive face ;)

Here are the two cousins together...they had so much fun playing together. Could they get any more opposite??

Jenna and baby Kara...

Just Jenna...

And here's the only boy cousin, Stephen. This was actually the first time I had met him...so cute!

Stephen looks exactly like his beautiful mom!

I have some big news to announce soon!! If you are friends with me on facebook, you probably already know but I will announce it on the blog next week!

I made it to New Jersey! Natalie and I had a hellish traveling day yesterday but we made it :) I am sitting here watching the cousins play so I thought I would get in a blog post. Here is sweet little Emily. She is baby to my photographer friend Melisa Michaud. It is a little nerve wracking to shoot for another photographer but it is also awesome because she was up for anything! Here are some of my favorites :)

Big brother was so sweet with her!

I love this one because they are making the same pose :)

Beautiful mamma and her new baby :) She was just through the roof excited she had a girl!!

Love this little scowl she made!

Alright...got to run. Baby cousin Jenna is crying for mom and dad. Natalie is trying to soothe her but I don't think it's working so well.

I hope everyone had a happy Easter and a relaxing spring break! I am leaving tomorrow for New Jersey/New York! My mom and I are taking Natalie to see The Little Mermaid on Broadway. I am so excited for her to go to Broadway! I'll be back next week. I will have access to email and phone if you need me :)

Onto the pictures...here is a little family I shot before Christmas. You may have seen their pictures on my website.

Here is the youngest...completely adorable and full of spunk!

All three adorable kiddos...

The two handsome brothers...

The oldest brother...so handsome!

I couldn't decide between these two...

I was so excited when Dylan (the oldest brother) told me he played guitar and he had it with him in the car!!!

While I was at the beach taking Natalie and Luke's pictures, my brother and his girlfriend also happened to be at the same beach with their first baby. I asked them if they wanted me to take some pictures of him. They agreed and this is what I got from our little mini-session :)

For the record, Kodi is a Jack Russel mixed with something that we don't know because he was a rescue dog.

He already loves his mom the best :)

I love that he has freckles on his tummy.

Brandy's Belly! {Orlando Maternity Photographer}

Mini-Session update: I have three more spots left! Email me at kristin[at]kristinmizophoto[dot]com if you want one!!!

On to the pictures...I had the absolute pleasure to document my friends pregnancy. She is seriously the cutest pregnant girl ever. We had so much fun playing at the beach all day and I introduced her to my favorite Mexican restaurant, Clancy's. Seriously, I will waive the traveling fee to New Smyrna if you treat me to Clancy's after our session :) It was so delicious!!

I *heart* laughing pictures!

Does she not have the cutest little belly ever??

Look what I talked her into doing :)

These last two are my favorites from the session!! She looks like a model!!

Til next time...

Mini-Session Announced and More Pictures of my Cousin!

The first mini-session of the year is going to be on April 5th! I found an amazing new location that is perfect for a mini-session. You guys are going to LOVE it!! I want to start at 9:00 and will take sessions every 20 minutes until 12:00. If you want in, send me an email to kristin[at]kristinmizophoto[dot]com with your preferred time and I will send you all of the details!

On to the pictures! A little story behind these pictures first. My cousin's boyfriend contacted me to do a photoshoot of just the two of them for Valentine's Day. Everyone can say "awwwwwwww!" How cute is that? Of course I had to say yes!! I knew he was a surfer so I asked him if we could do pictures at the beach and use his surfboards as props. He obliged and we set up a date to "surprise" Natalie with the shoot. I had SO.MUCH.FUN shooting these. I secretly want to be a fashion photographer and I wanted to shoot these like they could belong in an Anthropologie catalogue. I shot these in full sun on the beach and I didn't worry about the light. It was so freeing! I LOVE the way they turned out! Here is just a small sampling of my favorites.

My doggy Lucy made a cameo in some of the pictures :)

Love this one...

Isn't she so gorgeous??

Lucy wasn't too sure about getting on the surfboard...

Another favorite...
