I came to learn that these would be their first family photos since Mom & Dad got married (who never had professional engagement photos taken!), and they would be especially meaningful, as Dad would be leaving in a month or so for his first tour in Afghanistan since they were married. I knew I had to provide them with some really great photos - and a fun experience during their vacation!
We did have a lot of fun that day, blowing bubbles, chasing dear son around, finding fun little places for photos, running from trains (just kidding on that one)... Dad has since headed off to Afghanistan, and Mom & I are keeping in touch. I can't even tell you how much it means to me to know that some photos I was able to provide them with are helping them just a little bit through this time apart.
Mom said I could share a little bit of an email she wrote me back in January, when they received their photo CD.
"I just wanna thank you so much again for your awesome eye for photography and for doing our family photos. You truly have made a wish of ours come true! I know it will definitely be easier for me having great photos of our beautiful family on our walls, especially going through this first deployment. U are the best!
Take Care, The Altamirano Family"
Seriously, how am I so ridiculously blessed to get to meet all of these great people?
On a side note, I do still have availability for my April & May "marathon" days in Tampa and St. Pete, and of course I'm currently booking sessions here in Orlando, too!
(I am available for travel to Tampa/St. Pete at other times, so let me know if you're interested but not available on those weekends.)
