A military photo shoot


Well, sorry for the photo dump. We got our pictures back and I love them! I think that first one is going on a wall.

I tried to do a themed shoot. I wanted a little vintage military flair.  The dress is a 1960s original (and I think it was hand made as there is no tag). I was hoping for a sixties vibe but I've heard everything from 1920s to 1940s - at least it looks like a different era to some degree, right?

I like the idea of having these photos for posterity. So when (if) we have kids they can look back and see that we did this. Dan did this. He served his country and he was really proud to do it.

It would be nice to find photos of family who served during their lives as well - there is this one I remember, it's just a snapshot, of my grandfather in his navy uniform with a duffel bag tossed over his shoulder.

Anyway, I'm so happy with how these turned out. Dan looks so good in that uniform.
