{Photography}Giving Back- Pre-deployment July 2012

I'm a little late blogging this session, this is because we moved to Michigan shortly after this was shot. I'm happy I have the chance to post it now!

I had the pleasure of meeting this family at one of my mini-sessions in 2011. The two girls are so pleasant to work with, just like their parents. They have so much joy and love as a family, I could just feel it during our session. I have had the pleasure of doing two sessions with this family, when they asked me to photograph their pre-deployment session, I was honored.










{Photography} Giving Back- Pre-deployment August 2012


If you follow my business Facebook page enough, you know I have a huge heart and a passion to give back to the military community. Not only because I am an Air Force wife and come from a line of Airmen in my family, but the photos are, in my mind, necessary before a loved one deploys.

There's so much uncertainty in the world, while not all deployments are dangerous, the fact that a loved one is gone for a long amount of time makes things difficult. I give back by offering pre-deployment sessions as a way to help ease the absence of a loved one, to create a beautiful story to be cherished, and to serve as comfort. As someone who has gone through a deployment and will soon have my husband away for one year, this hits home.

Please enjoy my latest session, a pre-deployment session. I think I captured a beautiful story for these two to cherish.
