Happy Veterans Day!

In honor of Veterans Day, I'm sharing one of my latest photo sessions that shows the healing bond between a Marine Corps Veteran and his beloved pal, Samson.  

As a dog lover, I appreciate the unconditional love dogs bring to our lives.  They have the power to make us feel better by just being near- it's simple, pure and one of the greatest joys in life! During our session, D described how his bond with Samson has profoundly impacted his life... 

After finishing active duty with the Marine Corps, D began the transition to civilian life.  He immediately enrolled in college. It was a challenge for him to make friends with his peers because they were significantly younger.  Conversation topics were difficult both with classmates and professors.  D said the one thing that made the transition easier was adding his pup, Samson, to his life. Samson allowed D to open up to people, make friends and assimilate back to civilian life.  

I love the story of Samson and I'm so happy that I was able to create these images for D and his family.  As you scroll through the blog, you'll also see pictures of D's beautiful wife and daughter. While Samson is a hunk, he doesn't begin to compare to their little girl- what a cutie!  Her smile will melt your heart! 

Thank you to all of our Veterans!
