On a lovely {freezing cold} 6 degree {yep - no typo there - it was 6.degrees.} day, I met with this sweet Mother and Daughter duo for a very special photo session! 

This was my second session with these two ladies, but I hadn't seen them for a few years.  My goodness how big has little miss "A" grown!!! 

Miss "A" 's mom contacted me back in January and I was, of course, thrilled to hear from her!  She caught me completely off guard with the news that she had joined the Air Force and had just recently finished basic training!! 

I have always admired the men and women who serve our country.  It takes a drive and determination like no other.  I know that Airman Parker's daughter is so proud of her mom already! 

Thank you Airman First Class Parker for your service to the country!  We are so lucky to have you!  You are a tremendous role model to your daughter as well as girls everywhere - showing them that you can in fact do it all!  Thank you for asking me to photograph this special time in your life!  I hope that I helped to fill Miss "A"'s board with wonderful new memories!
