For anyone waiting on DVD's/Slideshows

I have been having computer problems when trying to burn discs for months now. Tried a new burner, tried downloading 3 different burning software programs, none have fixed the issue. Now today, I'm trying to download yet another program and it won't even download without errors. Computer problems are a photographers worst nightmare... I'm NOT technical, nor do I even know what to look for when something like this goes wrong. So for those of you waiting on DVD's of your slideshows from me, I apologize, I'm working diligently to try to get this figured out and have contacted my computer guy yet again to come over and try to fix it....cause at this point it's getting ridiculous. So again I apologize for any delay in getting these out. As soon as I have it fixed, discs will be in the mail. *Sigh*...ugh!

Prayers for Kyleigh today!

Some very dear friends of mine and fellow photographers in Lexington, Kentucky~ Amber and Troy Schmidt have a beautiful little girl named Kyleigh. Miss Ky was born with a hole in her heart, and she is having open heart surgery today to repair it. Just wanted to post about it and ask that you keep them in your thoughts today and over the next few weeks. They are very near and dear to my heart and have been some of my biggest supporters since I started my business. Their work can be seen at www.kentuckystudio.com .

There were blessed to have our other wonderful friend and fellow photographer from Salt Lake City, Utah, Julie Williams come to stay and help care for their two older boys while they are with Kyleigh. LOVE you Julie! You truly are an angel to everyone who knows you! Man we photographers stick together eh?

Hugs guys! WE LOVE YOU!

Here's a few shots I took of Kyleigh when visiting in October. To read more about Kyleigh, you can visit the Schmidt family blog at http://the-family-schmidt.blogspot.com/

Welcome Baby Taegin!

My cousin moved here with her husband and newborn baby a few weeks ago. They are staying with us until they figure out where they want to live and get settled in. So I have a new baby to practice on whenever I want! It's soooo fun to have a newborn around again, altho he seems to be giving John a case of baby fever...lol. We went to my dads in Ft. Myers to visit and I was able to take some shots of him on their perfectly white couch, and thought I would share. He's the sweetest and cutest little guy!

Bridal Fair was GREAT!

Sorry it's been a week since any update. I was down visiting my father in Ft. Myers this week. I have loaded the photos from the bridal fair to the slideshow section at CNP. For any of the models, if you would like copies of any of the photos from the fashion show, please email me at cristy@cristynielsen.com. The show was great, and we got some great contacts with local vendors and brides.

You can find the slideshow at www.cristynielsen.com/slideshows , the password is bridalfair

Remember Abigail & Huy??

Just finished their wedding album this morning... Check it out!

These guys were a blast and have the coolest vibe about them! It's always bittersweet when I am in the final stages with wedding clients. I fully enjoy working with them, so when all of the prints, albums, and canvas's come back it's a sad day for me... I'm excited to show them, but then quickly realize that it may be a while before I work with them again. I always can't wait till they have kiddos so we can continue to capture the big things in their lives!!

Crazy Day!

It's been a nuts day here in Central FL. This morning we awoke to find out that huge tornadoes had destroyed lots of homes in the Central FL area. Our thoughts go out to those families who lost their homes and loved ones. At this point there have been 14 fatalities. So sad... John and I were woken up by the wind, thunder, lightning and rain at about 5 am. I really didn't think anything of it and went back to sleep. And then woke up to phone calls from people wondering if we were okay, and I had no clue about what had happened. Then to turn on the news and see the devastation.... sooo horribly sad!

I'm busy here as well, leaving tomorrow for Chicago to teach a workshop with Misty Woodward and Kimberly Smoot. Should be a ton of fun, and I'm really looking forward to it!

Also thought I would post a few shots from a maternity session I did a few days ago. Elise is 30 weeks pregnant with a little girl. She hasn't figured out a name yet, and is going to see her baby first before she picks out a name. For 30 weeks she looks amazing. We are going to do one more session before she has this little girl, and a newborn session after. Can't wait to do those! I always love mama and newborn shots. Congrats Elise!
