As Americans, we often forget about the sacrifice so many make to serve our country. We are so fortunate to have the many freedoms granted in the US and I was so proud to be able to photograph this family and their new addition. Daddy selflessly defends our country. He was deployed during most of Mommy's first pregnancy and he missed the birth and first few months of big sister's life. So often we take maternity/paternity leave for granted, but I simply cannot imagine how hard it must have been for Mommy and Daddy to be separated at such a precious time in their lives. Fortunately, Daddy was here for the safe arrival of baby Austin. I am so happy to help them cherish these times with these images. Welcome baby Austin - to the land of the free.
