The Moores Family | family

Monday, September 13th, 2010

What a very small world do we live in? I had the privilege to photograph the Moores Family. When I arrived at The Church on Strayer (they attend this church) and meet the family, Sonia’s husband says I know you…what? you do? from where? elementary school? huh? really? no way? I had NO recollection of who he was…OK so then it started to come to me a little bit. He knew my sister more than me. So of course, I had to call my sister right away after the shoot, and YUP she knew exactly who he was. Well, we had a great shoot and Elijah was my cutest kid contest winner. He did exceptionally well. I love kids, especially ones that cooperate with me! I look forward to photographing this family again soon for Christmas! I can’t wait:)

I have a challenge for all of your family and friends. If you get 25 comments on this blog you will get a free 5×7 photo, if you get 50 comments you will get a free 8×10 photo, and if you get 100 comments you will recieve a free 16×20 picture of your choice! Get out there and spread the word about Nancy Mitchell Photography and you WIN!

Picar Family | family

Sunday, April 25th, 2010

I had the pleasure of photographing this wonderful new family on Saturday. I went to school with Amy (she graduated a year after me) and she was home from New York. She met her husband William on a job she did after high school on a cruise ship. You see Amy was always the lead singer in all of our high school musicals. She sure can sing. They came home so that baby Owen could get baptized today. William is from the Philippines and ALL his family is still there. So I hope that the PICAR family enjoys these pics from far away! I look forward to photographing you guys later this year! Maybe next time we all can actually hang out??? Thanks Amy and Will for giving me the opportunity to photograph your precious little man! I just LOVE him to pieces! Save travels back home too:)

The Savage’s | family

Friday, March 26th, 2010

Meet the Savage family! I got the opportunity to photograph this lovely family this past fall. I ran into Julie at the mall, I rarely go there, but always seem to run into her when I go. I used to babysit for them when the twins: Katie and Gretie were about 6 months old. YES, that was a LONG time ago. They were even in my wedding when they were five. They all have grown up into amazing GORGEOUS peeps. I can’t believe how time has just flown by and they are all grown up. Julie and Scott you guys have a BEAUTIFUL family and thanks for letting me photograph you all!

Giving is AWESOME | promotions

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

You know someone. You know someone who’s experienced a tragedy, is struggling to stay afloat, is raising kids while holding down more than one job, or is volunteering selflessly despite extenuating personal circumstances. You know someone who can’t afford custom photography, but who would cherish it this holiday season. You know someone who deserves a year-round reminder of their family’s spirit, love, and beauty.

You know someone. I guarantee it.

I want to know who they are, and I want to give them the chance to experience complimentary custom photography — $250 worth, to be exact. Whether it’s canvas or albums, prints for Grandma, or a slideshow to watch over and over, it’s in your power to give them the artwork they deserve this holiday season.

Oh, and the best part? The person who nominates the winner receives a $100 free session. What better reason to show some love could there possibly be, people?

The rules:

* You cannot nominate yourself, and the person nominated must sincerely be incapable of purchasing my services. (Being unable to make mortgage payments for a two-million-dollar-vacation-home in Paris does not qualify as sincere financial need.)

* The nominee must reside in Sylvania, Oh or surrounding areas. Tell me who you know, what they’re experiencing, and why they deserve my artwork. Please include a way to contact both your nominee and yourself as well.

* You must e-mail me the full story : nancymitchellphotography@yahoo.com .

The winner will be announced on Christmas Eve — get nominating! I can’t wait to read all of your entries!

Open your heart to someone this holiday season — and thanks for giving me the opportunity to open mine.

With love,

Nancy Mitchell
