This is honestly the biggest compliment I have ever gotten, shooting this session. Tom was my boss when I was in the military. Though he wasn't a professional photographer, he enjoyed it as a hobby and was, quite possibly, one of the most honest to goodness, good people that I had ever worked for in my military career. Never played favorites. Never brought a problem to work. Never did anything more than all he could for the people he worked with. Dream boss. I mean that, ask anyone that worked for him.
Well, when I got an email from him and his wife, who are expecting their first child, I was so honored to say yes! Of course I would LOVE to capture this amazing time for them. Now... when you have only ever known someone as your boss, the pressure turns on for a photo shoot.
I have to say, though, as soon as we started shooting, his free spirited wife, Karin and I hit it off like old friends. And all the sudden, the Captain was Tom! It was great, easy, fun and you could feed off of their calm natures and their love.
It is so fun to shoot an expecting couple that you know, full well, will make amazing parents. They have so much to give this child. Karin is one of the most naturally easy people to get along with. She just relaxes everyone around her. Between her beautiful spirit and Tom's just soul... this is going to be an amazing child!
Okay... obviously, I like this couple alot!!!!
Here are some of my favorite photos from their shoot... and I have alot!
