Kevin & Alexandra

Kevin & Alexandra | Warrenton, Virginia Deployment Photographer

Alexandra reached out to me months ago regarding her husband’s upcoming deployment and her interest in capturing these current memories before he departed. I was absolutely going to make this work on my calendar! 🙂 Thank goodness his deployment was on time because we were able to make our schedules line up. I know that sometimes the Army can come in and deploy their men out earlier than anticipated so it was a blessing that this worked out for all of us. The session was a bit hot since we were dealing with the last bit of the summer heat last week. So if you can imagine how Kevin made it through the session in head to toe uniform … Whew! Kevin mentioned that where he will be going will be much worse … Basically, this heat was nothing compared!

Kevin and Alexandra are super adorable together! Believe it or not, they are FOURTEEN inches in height difference! I didn’t realize it at first until I saw the heel that Alexandra was wearing and realized that he was still that much taller than her. Haha! He swept her off her feet easily if she ever needed a little help getting around. It was super cute. 🙂 It won’t be long before he will be sweeping her off her feet again. I hope these eleven months flyyyyyyy by fast for the both of them!

Thank you Kevin and Alexandra for the laughs shared throughout our time together! Kevin, I wish you the absolute best as you head out. You will be in our hearts and prayers!!!
