A Patriot and his family

I photographed this family a few weeks ago. They were visiting her family in Orlando before dad left for a tour of Afghanistan. His boys were proud and so great to photograph. Mom was really a trooper and I am in awe of women like her who keep the home fires burning while their spouse is away keeping our country safe!

I am posting a few portraits from their session - this was a very cold day but sunny. Shivering and blue lips was a fear but no problem as it turned out! We walked to a creek at the back of their property and it was old Florida at it best. I felt like I'd found a gold mine. My favorites -shots of all the boys on the tractor. sometimes I am so pleasantly surprised during location sessions! Thanks again, you guys -you are a very special family.
