I captured the Mitchell family over the Thanksgiving week-end and I finished editing their photos thinking this was the perfect shoot for the holiday of giving, the celebration of gratitude, of family, of togetherness.
The first reason: this session's proceeds were donated entirely to Baby Basics of Collier County, a local organization that supports hard working parents who are struggling to make ends meet and need diapers for their babies. I entered the family shoot in a silent auction at the annual Casino Night organized by the Mid Day Optimist Club of Naples and the Mitchells put the highest bid and won!
The Mitchells are some of the most giving people I know. Their unconditional love took them to different continents of the world to complete their sweet little family. One can only be inspired. That is the second reason why I think this shoot was perfect for the celebration of Thanksgiving... There is nothing like opening your home... and your heart.
Here are some of their best shots.
Nothing like a big brother being silly with the little sis!
Let's huddle Mom!
This is Lindsay. And she's gorgeous. Not only is she pretty, but she's got the brains too. Finishing up her degree next semester in Tallahassee. Exec of a Fortune500 company? Very possible.
She brought her boyfriend Cameron along for a couple shots too.
Ben is in eighth grade and plays football. Something tells me he's fast and really good at it too.
Danny is loving college life in Orlando. Unfortunately, he forgot to bring his beloved guitar, otherwise we'd see him with it. Loves music and playing it.
Olivia enjoys her girlfriends and plays in the high school band. She was open to be sassy and I loved her bubbly personality.
Mom and Dad, congratulations on having a beautiful family. No togetherness would be possible without the two of you...
Thank you for letting me capture your photos...
Much love...
