The air was brisk and the sun hadn’t quite peeked over the horizon. From a distance, we heard a faint Reveille playing. Phillip stood at attention. The leaves have started to look like fall in Dallas. When she hugged him, she really hugged him. What an honor it was to photograph this session for Mandi and Phillip on Veterans Day. The night before the sunrise session, I couldn’t sleep. I was honored to serve this couple. Mandi didn’t share too many details about what they’d be wearing to the session. My heart was full when they arrived and saw Phillip dressed in his uniform. They were recently married in August at the Justice of the Peace. Please enjoy this session. To all the men and women who so bravely serve our country, we salute you.

Perfect way to spend a Veterans Day morning. SO much emotion coming through in these! <3
Brings me to tears. I was Philip’s computer teacher in high school. He has kept in touch with me ever since, even calling me from Kuwait…he calls me mom. What beautiful pictures!
These are beautiful photographs. I can’t wait to get some, frame them, and put them out at work and at home. I love you both.
