This has been a busy weekend for me, two weddings and a few sessions that I was trying to squeeze in before the rain started. Sarah and Shawn’s shoot was squeezed in for a whole different reason; on Sunday Shawn will be leaving for Afghanistan for 13 months. Leaving behind his fiance’ Sarah and 11 month old son Grayson. Sarah and Shawn wanted to get some family photos and engagement photos before his deployment. Sarah wanted to make sure she had some photos of Shawn and Grayson together so that she has something to point to and show Grayson his dad. Grayson was the happiest baby I think I’ve ever seen, he’s grinning or laughing in every shot.
You guys were an absolute joy to shoot, thank you so much for sharing this emotional and beautiful time in your lives with me. My prayers are with all of you during the next year.

Thank you, Shawn, for your service.

Usually when I start editing a session there are a select few that jump out to me as favorites,I honestly don’t think I could pick a favorite from this session! I got a little carried away, in fact there are 40 (yes FOURTY!) photos from their session on facebook so head over there and check the rest of them out.
Before you leave though, leave me a comment and let me know what your favorite photo here is. I’m sure Sarah and Shawn would love to see your comments to them as well!
