A few more from a recent family session

Tonight I’m posting a couple of new sneak peek pictures from the G Family photo session last weekend. If you will remember they are the brave family who took on the rain for a little fun and some family pictures. The pictures below are of their son Josh, isn’t he just darling?!?! It was important to Josh to view each picture immediately after I took it, he was such a character! One time I snapped a picture, he asked to see it, then looked up at me and said, “I’m so cute!” Enjoy the pictures!

Family Session Sneak Peek!

I’d like to introduce you to a wonderful family who isn’t afraid of a little rain! Meet the G Family! We scheduled their session over a month ago and crossed our fingers for perfect weather. Well, we couldn’t have been more wrong! Saturday was a cloudy, sometimes raining day! After touching base Saturday morning we decided to brave the weather. We met up downtown just as it started to pour! Thankfully most of our locations were covered so we were able to capture some wonderful pictures. Thanks G Family for letting me capture this time in your life! Enjoy the sneak peek!





I love the picture below! I’m not sure if it’s because it was Josh’s idea (boy with the green dog) or because it truly reflects my favorite style of photography. It’s very spontaneous… animals, bottles, almost as if they stopped while on a walk downtown to capture that moment of the day. Josh, thanks for telling me to stop and take the picture!

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!!

Once clients view the images from their photo session they often ask…. How should we display the images in our home? What sizes do we order? How many prints?

Deciding how to display portraits in your home is a very important decision, especially when you are making a significant investment. At Melissa Mize Photography we now give you the tools to inspire creativity and help you make wise choices. With this important decision comes careful planning, this is why I’m pleased to announce the addition of the Inspire Guide. The Inspire Guide will provide you with wall display ideas, what print sizes are used in the displays and an idea of what they look like in a particular area of your home (for example- a wall display above a couch).

One to two weeks after your shoot you will receive the password to your personal gallery along with the password to view the Inspire Guide. The design ideas are made to go with different rooms in your house or to be mixed and matched based on your home. When you find a design you love- I’ll customize it with pictures from your session and colors from your house. The completed customized design will be available for viewing in your personal gallery. This will help you decide where and how to display your prints as well as what sizes to order.

*The design guide is a digital image to assist in selection of print sizes.


Enjoy a few completed design ideas below!

Father/Son Sneak Peek

A couple of weeks ago I met up with Kristen of Son Kissed Photography for a Father/Son Shoot in downtown Tulsa. The day was a little overcast but we had a blast hanging out with Chuck and Cameron. They were up for anything and we even tried out a few new shoot locations. Thanks for letting me tag along!

Urban shoots are officially my favorite! Thanks to downtown Tulsa there are numerous locations, colors and textures to give the pictures a unique look. If you are considering family pictures think about doing something outside the box! I’d love to visit about creating a unique session showcasing your family’s style.
