Change of Command

Last Tues. the 13th I had the awesome oppurtunity to photograph my friend's husbands change of command ceremony. He has served our country for 20 plus years in the United States Navy.
He was promoted to Commanding Officer. And I had the special honor and privilege of attending the ceremony. There was a special reverent and sacred feeling there. His parents were there (from Kansas) and ny freinds mother was also there, (from Florida). Here are a few images from the day. I shot 198 images for her and her family. I LOVED it!
This is absolutely my most favorite shot of the whole day (below). Mr. R. mothers hands holding the program.

His beautiful wife was able to put on his 'pin'.



Giving his boy a hug after the ceremony

And this is why I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE photography. I was able to capture this moment in time when both parents/grandparents are together (this was the first time since they were all together since Mr. R. and Mrs. D were married).


I am grateful for these special friends!
