We have been working hard on renovating two historic train cars in our hometown of Oviedo, Florida, into a beautiful gallery and office as well as a full functioning studio space. So what better way to show it off than have a big old party to “officially” open the doors to our new train car studio. We were happy to see over 100 clients, other wedding vendors, business partners, friends and neighbors show up to help celebrate our new digs. The mayor of Oviedo, and several city council members, even stopped by to check it out and help with the ribbon cutting ceremony. We are so thankful to everybody that helped make the event the talk of the town. This studio is truly a work of art in itself and Cristy and I are excited to share it with the world. So, if you want to check it out, give us a call and set up a time for your own personal train car shoot and experience.

A special thanks to Lisa Konecny & Jesse Rivers of E-Events, Lee Heard of Czes Heard Design, Jay Clark of Brix Restaurant Orlando, Schuyler Osborne of Perfect Sky Productions, Kristin Hubbard of Our DJ Rocks, Abby Liga of The Liga District, Bryan Taylor of Tagas Events and Production Services, Darrin of Orlando Wedding & Party Rentals, Cotton Candy of Once Upon a Time Events, Molly & Jeff Brown of Cinematique Films, BB & J Linens, Coast 2 Coast Party Rentals, Zeus Event Furniture Rentals, Leos Italian Ice, and to all of our friends and neighbors who helped make this an incredible party!!!

Between everything going on with the new studio, shooting events including weddings, births, babies, mamas to be, families, etc., everyone’s favorite day, tax day,  my transition to full time with the Nielsens Photography & Design, and so on and so on, we have seriously neglected our blogging…….

So, with that being said……..I bring you our families little journey out to Cape Canaveral for the April 5th, 2010 morning sunrise launch of the Space Shuttle Discovery. Carl Franzen of AOL online penned it best in his article, “NASA called the predawn launch “spectacular,” “picture-perfect” and its “most visually beautiful launch ever,” which accurately summed up the reaction of many observers.” We would have to agree!!!

]]> http://cristynielsen.com/blog/2009/09/15/orlando-commercial-photographer-check-out-our-second-southerly-shoot/feed/ 0 Orlando Portrait Photographer ~ Pardon our dust! http://cristynielsen.com/blog/2009/09/14/orlando-portrait-photographer-pardon-our-dust/ http://cristynielsen.com/blog/2009/09/14/orlando-portrait-photographer-pardon-our-dust/#comments Mon, 14 Sep 2009 18:43:29 +0000 CristyNielsen http://cristynielsen.com/blog/?p=476 As you may notice over the last and next few weeks we are updating our whole blog, website, rebranding our logo, and even changing our business name!  There are more things in store too like a new STUDIO to soon be announced as well!  We have debated back and forth about a name change for quite some time… and over the last year or so it has become apparent that our business has become so much more than what Cristy Nielsen Photography is by itself.  John has become an integral part of our business and it’s not longer just about “me” anymore… so with that being said we are now going to go by “the Nielsens”.  Often when clients call Iask where they found us, and lately they seem to tell me that someone they know told them to call “the Nielsens”.  We’ve heard it enough now that we realize it was meant to be our new name, and it fits, isn’t too dramatically different from the old, and will help incorporate some of the other things we will be offering.

So please be patient with us, the site will change, the blog will change and start to look and feel different, and the logo will be changed as I have time to work on the various parts of our web presence.  For now, here is the new logo!  We love it and hope you do too!  Check it out, it’s at the top of the page!
