While Dad’s Away

It’s an all to common story, espeically to me; “Dad (or Mom) is deployed, we want to do photos when he/she gets home.” I understand. I’ve dealt with 3 of my husband’s deployments too. Though I know it’s harder for others, especially being this far from the states and having more than one child!

Well, Jennifer got in touch with me and said her husband, who is deployed, wanted pictures of her and the kids. And that she’d have to dig out the wedding album for photos of herself because that’s how long it’s been! I know the feeling, Jennifer. Jeff – thanks for your service, and we hope you’re home safe and soon – here are just a few gems from our session at the beach together! I hope you enjoy them. You have a very sweet family and a wonderful wife. A pretty one too, I might add…

It was HOT! And I think the kids let loose when we went to play in the sand and shade by the water.

Oh – I forgot to mention that young S here had a run in with the bed frame and I think the bed frame came out on top… but luckily things were better by the time we went out to play. Poor Jen was worried about it, but we all know that if we wait for scrapes and bruises, the photos would never happen – particularly with boys!
Here’s gorgeous C – with her gold locks and warm brown eyes. What a smart young lady! She loved to play.

Speaking of smart, S here is not only good lookin’ but wise beyond his four years. He even wrote the letters of his name in the sand for me!

In the end, S conquered the cave and C found a friend in a pet rock… who sadly stayed at the beach. But don’t worry – he’s partying with his friends, C!

I’m really excited to share all the photos with you soon, Jen! Thanks for a fun day, and I’m glad you enjoyed the beach afterwards! I look forward to meeting Jeff and getting my camera on your whole family when you’re reunited in the spring.

Stephanie - What a sweet family! I love how you capture everyone's personalities like you've known them forever!

Jennifer - S loves the pictures, and can't wait to see more of himself. They came out great! Thank you!
