Making the Most of Deployment Day






I hear absence make the heart grow fonder but in the military, families that deal with deployment really take that whole idea to a new level.  This session was taken a few months back but I wanted to backtrack and post this session to show light on this great family.  I met them on the day they were facing their Husband, son and father, Byron, who was leaving to serve in Iraq.  Lisa and Byron, thank you for calling me to record your day together on Byron's deployment day.  It was great to be able to photograph you, your children and parents.  Here is a review of some of my favorite images.

I went with them and many of the other families to attend the deployment ceremony





I took the time to photograph many of the other families around me as well.  Watching everyone get in their last good-bye's and hugs.

Afterwards we went to a spot near were they were staying as they spent their last few hours together before the departure.


It was a great session Lisa and Byron.  You have an amazing family full of strength and peace.  My prayers are with you all!!  I hope you enjoyed your session as well as the images here!
