Happy Memorial Day!

Happy Memorial Day!

I hope everyone is having a a wonderful and safe Memorial Day weekend so far! It’s nice having some time off to spend with family and friends and of course remember what this Holiday is about. I have been fortunate to photograph some who are active in the military and it’s just so inspiring, courageous and selfless for them to serve us back at home. Living in a world of mixed emotions regarding topics of war and countless controversies, it’s hard to imagine what the future looks like for us. We want world peace but it’s scary to think of the people out in this world who have certain missions and for our men to put their lives at risk to protect us … I seriously cannot wrap my head around this idea! Thanks to all of the men and women out there fighting for our country!!! Let this day be devoted to them as well as throughout the year.

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!!!
