In my Daddy's Boots

I know I already posted once today.. But considering what today stands for, I thought it would be appropriate to honor the day with a patriotic shoot. This was originally shot for Fathers Day. Some of my favorite sessions come from dressing kids up in their parents military uniforms, waving flags in the air, and playing with dog tags. Such a great way to show our soldiers that we're thinking about them and that we appreciate the things that they do for us.

Thoughts of their families, their spouses and their children are what help them to get through these multiple long and grueling deployments. Pictures of smiling faces, tracings of hands, drawings of daddy holding his babies hands. These are the things that they hold onto, because they give them thoughts of homecoming and thoughts of scooping those babies and spouses and family members in their arms. They give them hope. Hope that these adorable faces and tiny hands will make wonderful changes in tomorrow.

As their Mom watched, she looked at her oldest and commented at how she felt as though she was looking at his future as he sat there in his Dads ACU coat and hat. I am so blessed to be able to capture these images. Our soldiers were once children too, dreaming of being heroes. Back then they dreamed of wearing a different type of cape, maybe with a big huge letter on the front of their shirts with fantastic super powers. To us and our kids, they are the best super heroes. Seeing the way they look up at their parents as they are in their uniforms makes my heart smile. :O)

So to all our Heroes, especially on this very important day; September 11th, I want to say thank you, for fighting for our country.. You are all the reasons for our freedoms.

The same day I photographed Lucas playing in the rain, Chloe and I took a walk once the rain stopped. We ended up walking to the park close to our house. Just to have some Mom and Chloe time. I wish more than anything that I could just freeze her at this age. So sweet, thoughtful, kind, giggly, innocent. I sat here the other day and realized that when we moved to Fort Irwin, we moved here with a 5 year old and a 15 month old. Now my 5 year old is about to turn 9 and my 15 month old is 4 with another 21 month old. Such precious time that flys by. I am so thankful that I created a career that allows me to spend as much time with my babies as I want to.

Chloe is so full of life and love. The world is at her feet and I know that she will succeed in anything she puts her mind too.

My wish for youIs that this life becomes all that you want it toYour dreams stay big, your worries stay smallYou never carry more than you can hold~Rascal Flatts

I sit here and look at the smile on her face, the same smile that is sprawled across her face all day long, and I can't help but think about what her life holds in store for her. I hope her smile never fades.

She's my tiny dancer and dances on my heart strings every single day. She and her brothers all bring me such endless joy. These pictures are definitely a glimpse into her soul.

I hope she teaches her own children to dance in rain puddles, have tea parties with all of their stuffed animal and their Daddy, and love as whole heartily as she does.

Until Next time
