Not sure….

June 18, 2010

Just taking a moment out from processing an amazing maternity shoot to share an image that I grabbed while on that shoot.  I have now lived in the DC area for almost 3 years (wow time flies!!!) and I am not sure if I will ever get used to seeing our nations monuments on a regular basis.  When I started shooting professionally so many years ago now I never imagined that I would be doing a maternity or wedding photos on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, a baby shoot at the Jefferson Memorial, and so many more.  Will I ever get used to seeing these landmarks???  I hope not.  When I see them I think of my dad (who passed away a few years ago from cancer) and how he and so many other have served our country.  I want to remember that it is by God’s grace that I was born into this country of freedom.  So I hope that they still make me pause when I see them….

Maggie: I don't think I would ever get sick of seeing sights like that! someday...I hope to visit the DC area!

ericha: I'll tell ya, in addition to not getting used to the landmarks, those skies are pretty great too!

Kim: I've lived here for 15 years this summer & I never, ever get over the sites. Especially the Capitol...I just get a thrill everytime I see it.

Linda: i'm sorry to hear that about your Dad! mine also served in the military and passed away from cancer this past fall. thank you for giving me the idea of remembering him when looking at monuments!
