"Until next time, not goodbye."

Anne, Rob and Riley were once very close friends of ours. Life happened and we grew apart but time and a judge (long story, not what you're thinking, ha ha!) brought us back together. Rob is a corpsman in the Navy and now has the honor of training with the Marines over in California. This is a gigantic leap for Rob's career in the military, but it is bittersweet for his family, whom love and support him with every thread of their being. With my father being a colonel in the US Air Force, I understand what it's like to be away from the ones you love for extended periods of time, while at the same time, respecting and honoring every minute they dedicate to our great country. Anne asked me to do this photo session with Rob's upcoming abcense in mind. They wanted 'fun', 'every day' photos that will remind them of the simplest things they'll miss most. Anne will be moving in with Rob's family while he's training, so they'll both be leaving Virginia but I know we'll keep in touch for years to come! Good luck guys! We'll miss you!
