Sweet little Alyssa is 6 months old! I photographed this cutie when she was a newborn, and I was so happy to see her again now that she’s sitting up & getting so big! I have to admit that her adorable leg warmers and dresses made my heart ache for a little girl. Maybe one day ;)

Lauren Kelly - Oh, Heidi… Andrea’s sweet Alyssa is precious!!! Great pictures!! :)February 23, 2011 – 4:50 pm

Andrea - I love them! My favorite is the B/W one where she is grinning and i love how you caught her examining her toes in the 9th row of pics… she does that all the time!!February 21, 2011 – 8:27 pm

stephanie - Oh my! Such a sweet baby girl. The first picture with her profile is my hands down favorite. She is beautiful and you did such a great job!!!February 21, 2011 – 6:38 pm

{Michelle} Mount Dora Maternity Photography

I started photographing this family back when Michelle was pregnant with baby numero uno, Eli. I was lucky enough to photograph that sweet little guy all throughout his first year. Now baby numero dos is on the way! Michelle & Ben are expecting little baby Lacie any day now. Can’t wait to get my hands on that sweet baby girl & do some lovely newborn photos :)

{Valentine’s Day Giveaway}

I can’t even tell you how excited I am about this giveaway!!! I’ve had several contests before where people could win free sessions and some fun prizes, but this is by far the biggest & best! Enough with my ridiculous exclamation points & excitement. Here’s what one lucky engaged couple will win:

1. 25 custom designed Save the Dates from Leslie Vega Design.

Leslie is an incredibly talented stationary designer. I always encourage my clients to use her, because her designs are so beautiful. She also designed my logo! If the winning couple wants more than 25 Save the Dates, they will certainly be able to purchase them from her, but she has generously offered to do the design & the first 25 cards for free :)

2. An Essentials lighting package from Kaleidoscope Event Lighting.

Ben Lawless is not only one of my clients & friends, but he is also the owner of a pretty fantastic event lighting company. The Essentials package he’s giving away includes uplighting for your reception in any of their 7 stock colors. As a photographer, I can tell you that lighting can truly make or break not only the ambiance of your wedding, but also the photos! Kaleidoscope is really the best of the best in Central Florida, and this Essentials package is a great way to add some extra beauty & drama to a wedding reception.

3. 5 hours of a la carte wedding coverage from Heidi Mitchell Photography (me!)

PLUS a styled engagement session & a high resolution DVD of all wedding & engagement photos.

This ahhh-mazing giveaway is worth more than $3,500!!!!


How to enter:

Send in a Valentine’s Day themed photo of your & your sweetie. You don’t need a fancy camera! Your point-and-shoot or even cell phone camera will do. The photo will be judged on creativity & “fun-factor”, not on photographic ability :) You also should include your names, wedding date & venue where your wedding will take place. Bottom line, have fun with it! I’m really looking forward to seeing everyone’s photos!

The Rules:

-All entries must be emailed to heidimitchellphotography@gmail.com. You will receive a confirmation email within 24 hours to let you know that your entry was received. Entries must be received by 11:59 PM EST on Monday, February 28th. The winner will be announced the evening of Tuesday, March 1st.

-Your wedding date & ceremony venue should already be selected. Your wedding date must be one that I still have available. (For obvious reasons :))

-Wedding must take place before June 1, 2012.

-You don’t have to be getting married in Central Florida to enter! Couples anywhere can participate, but if the wedding is taking place outside of Central Florida, the couple will be responsible for all travel expenses.

-The winning couple must claim their prize by emailing me back within 1 week of being notified. The winner will be announced on my blog as well as receive an email notification.

Start sending in those photos!!!

{Victoria} Mount Dora Children’s Photography

I just had to laugh when I came across this image while editing. You see, sometimes getting photographs of children is all about compromise. Victoria really wanted to wear this hat for her photos. Victoria’s momma really did NOT want her to wear this hat. So we compromised. The hat made its debut in a few photos, and then we put it away. Photographing kids keeps my job interesting! I’m hoping her mom will be pleasantly surprised with how some of the hat images turned out ;)

stephanie - I love this. I think the hat is adorable. Classy little lady. I love the lighting too!February 8, 2011 – 6:03 pm
