Kaela- Missing her Mom

This is a look back at a very special session I did last year of a beautiful young girl, Kaela who had an equally beautiful personality. It was about this time of year and it was chilly.  Carla, her grandmother, recently contacted me and I thought I would show off the portrait session we had at the beach.  I also wanted to share the touching note Carla wrote:

Kaela is a 9 yr. old child of Autism, she is bright, loving, and funny in her own kind of way. Her Mother is in the Navy, and at the time the photos were taken she was in Bahrain and had been for almost a year. I wanted these photos taken and made into an album to be given to her Mother for not only Mother's Day, but as a Homecoming Gift as well.


Monica,

I really appreciate what you do for the Military, it is such a Wonderful way of giving back to them.

THANK YOU!!

Carla

Carla,  thank you for allowing me to capture these moments!

One Cold Homecoming that Warmed the Heart

I met with Karen, her two beautiful daughters, and her mother for her husband, David's, homecoming in December.  It was a very cold morning, so we were all bundled up as we waited for the approach of the USS Fort McHenry.  All reunions are so special but Karen was about to introduce one little bundle of joy to her new Daddy for the very first time.  A meeting I was so excited to capture!

Even bundled up we got some great shots of these girls!  The baby was so happy since was cuddled up with her mommy.  As the little one got more sleepy her big sister got more excited to see the long awaited passenger she wanted most, her Daddy!

I appreciate you calling to have me capture your special day.  I truely do have the best job!
