April is Month of the Military Child ๐๐บ๐ฒ
This month I will be offering Military Child Portraits at a discounted rate. Having military children of my own, I know that having a photo to send our service member when they are deployed is extra special, it provides us with a sense of connection.
Send me a message if you're interested in booking a portrait session

Dandelions: A Poem by a Military Kid
"Dandelions represent us as we float across the states
Traveling from one place to the next
Leaving one home after another
Planting new seeds all along the way
Parents deploy as we wave goodbye to them, like stems swaying in the wind
We wish they would return soon
But we know it could be a long wait
Like dandelion fluff on the breeze, we are always moving
Changing schools,
Leaving friends behind, and making new ones
We are not weeds, we are the ones that thrive even in the worst conditions
Not only do we work for individuals, but for a higher purpose
In a hard packed field we break up the ground, making way for new flowers to grow
Just like dandelions, being a military child means we are different
We get to travel all around
Meeting lots of people
Enduring lots of things
We are proud to be military children
We are proud of our parents, who they are, and what they do
We are beautiful and unique just like the flowers that represent our families and us
We are strong and resilient wherever our roots take place
We spread all over the world for our families greater cause"
