Hold up. You’re about to engaged in a delightful experience… including succumbing to involuntary sighs and smiles. That’s because Derek, who turned 1 recently, is C.U.T.E. and a half. His mom, Kari, works with my husband. She wanted to do this session as a surprise for her husband, Mike, because Mike is one the many brave individuals whose service to the country interferes with his desire to be at home with his family. He is currently in the middle of a deployment in Afghanistan. As you can imagine, he was so excited to see these photos of his son and his lovely wife. And I was all too honored to be able to capture them!
Mike, thank you soooo much for your service to this country! I will keep you in my thoughts and hope that the rest of your time overseas goes quickly and safely. And Kari, I thank you too because you have to endure a lot in order for Mike to be so courageous. You are a wonderful mother, and I admire you for your strength, resolve and commitment to get you through until your husband can be home where he belongs!
Enjoy this summery session…
