Heidi & Jimmy :: Deployment

Heidi's husband Jimmy deployed to Afghanistan yesterday, and I was privileged to be present to take some images of them together before he left.

Unfortunately, as the Marine Corps does, they changed the leave time about 5 times (and had everyone waiting around 10 hours), so I was not able to be present as the busses pulled away. Heidi was actually happy about that because she preferred to have pictures of them looking as happy as possible. As she put it,"Hours later you would have captured a lot of pain and sadness, and quite frankly that is so rarely us...".

Here are a few images from the morning (very very early morning) that he left.

This couple is just so amazingly in love.

The last image I took of them together, just as the sun was starting to come up.

Many thoughts and prayers for your unit, Jimmy. Have a safe deployment and come home soon!
