Just before Thanksgiving, I met some friends from the ol’ high school days for a family portrait session at the Gamble Plantation in Ellenton, Fla. Caasi wanted a photograph with her husband, Robby, and their adorable daughter, Reece, for their annual Christmas card. The bright November morning was the first time I met Reece, and it wasn’t only the camera that loved this ‘Little Miss Sunshine.’ Her clever remarks and priceless expressions made the shoot such a joy. After spending some time with them, it was obvious that this family has a lot for which to be thankful. ‘Tis the season.

We also stopped by their place to include the rest of the family!
