FD Special Shoot

In my last blog post I included a few photos that were taken down at our local FD for a dear friend who's boys are just as into the fire/ems lifestyle as my husband. We were able to do a very special photo shoot with those boys as a way to say thank you for all my friend has done for our family.

This week I am posting about another very special shoot down at the fire department. This family is very dear to us and I can't express how touching it was to do this for them. Their father/stepfather is currently fighting fire overseas while his wonderful fiance is over here holding down the fort. I don't know how they do it, but they do it without complaining, whining, or expecting anything from anyone. (I can't even get through a day at work without at least one of those, lol). They are strong, fun, and amazingly caring people and it was a pleasure working with Mom to do this surprise photo shoot of the kids in Dad's gear!





Annnnnnnnnd......... heart melted.

Child Portraits 9.18.11

Just the other weekend I had the pleasure of photographing some wonderful kids in a few separate sessions. Some very special strings were pulled and we were able to do the boys' photos at the FD and of course, during the session/tour they proved they knew far more about the inner workings of the department than I (I'm not sure how my husband felt about that....).






And then I spent a little time hanging around with this cutie :)






What fantastic children, I cannot wait to photograph their big brother very soon on a special portrait retreat! Woo-hoo :)
