Hello, hello!
Photographer + Educator
I am a natural light photographer with 14+ years experience. I believe in capturing moments as they happen. In my family sessions I want to create emotion with games, cuddles, and dancing. Seniors, I want you to feel confident because you are who you are and THAT is what makes you amazing. With couples it is all about that spark. You know what I’m talking about. I just want your images to be treasured & to make your heart completely full. I truly look forward to meeting you and yours.
{a little about me}
I started showing interest in photography when I was just a wee little thing. I would pose my cats (yes, I said cats) and photograph them on my film camera. I decided to continue on with that love & headed to Nashville after college. This is where I received my Bachelor's in Photography and started my career in photography. I came back home to good ole Metropolis, IL & quickly fell in love with my husband, Jerry. We now live in Paducah, KY with two rowdy girls, Kyrie + Phoenix.
As much as we love exploring, we can also dig a rainy, lazy day watching Netflix on the couch. Photography is my jam, but don't get me wrong -- my family is my everything. They inspire me. They motivate me.
While I love my married name, the Mizell comes from my maiden name. See, I had the business before we were married so it felt wrong to change it. My dad was pretty proud I kept the family name somewhere in my life (also my daughters middle name). If you asked me what job I wish I had - I’d say I’d stick with the one I already got.
xoxo,
Kristi
