This evening I had the pleasure of photographing a woman who’s Husband is currently serving over in Iraq. Her Husband talked her into having some professional photos done – although I think she actually enjoyed it. Sssshhhh, it will be our little secret.

A beautiful evening to be at the beach, and a clear sunset. We did have to dodge some tourists, and two other Photographers, but in the end we did ok.

Lastly a message to all of the men and women serving in Iraq – THANK YOU for all that you do! Our freedoms here in the United States are not taken for granted, and your sacrifices are very much appreciated.

Tonight I met with Will and Heather at the Hotel Del Coronado to do some beach portraits.

We did some of my favorite locations, along the concrete wall, with the rocks, walking on the wet sand, etc.

But then we did a first – some photos at one of the nearby lifeguard towers. Loved doing these, I’ve been wanting to try this for awhile (just had to wait for the right victims….har har har).

Here’s one with a more serious tone. Will is in the Marines and leaving soon for Iraq. I thought this image sort of showed their love for eachother, and their feelings as he is about to leave to serve his country. Not that he’s going over there on a cruise ship, but it being in the background didn’t hurt.
