Military Engagement Photos

I guess you could say I have a huge soft spot for Military men.  Many of the men in my immediate and extended family have served or are serving in the Armed Forces and I could not be more proud of their courage and selflessness.  That being said, as I was researching for my next engagement photo post and because it is the week of July 4th,  it was only perfectly fitting to do a spotlight on military engagement picture ideas.  Here are some of my favorite ideas.....

I also think it would be such a cute idea if you did a military engagement session on a military obstacle course.  With the man dressed in his uniform and the woman dressed in a cute military outfit and they are doing the course together.  Especially one where they are hanging upside down on the "monkey bars."  Those could make for some cute pictures!  I couldn't find any pictures with that being done, so if you decide to try it out or if you find some pictures where someone has done that I would love to see them!

Oh to Pic....


Ok, so bear with me on this post.  My favorite pictures I have ever had taken of me are from my engagement shoot.  I still remember very vividly how nervous I was.  Nervous that I wouldn't look pretty.  Nervous my hair wouldn't work right.  Nervous I would have zits on my face.  Nervous the trees wouldn't be colorful enough.  Nervous it would be raining.  Nervous I would have weird smiles.  Nervous my outfit wouldn't look cute.  Nervous our personalities wouldn't show up in the pictures.  Just plain nervous about almost ANYTHING that there was to be nervous about.

I have loved engagement pictures my whole life.  I love looking at them, whether it is someone I know or some random person.  I just think they are so darn special.  It is at an adorable exciting time in your life and you are so much in love with your fiance and that always shows in the pictures.  Plus you will have those professionally done pictures for the rest of your lives to display in your homes to remember how good you used to look before you had kids... :)...
What if after all that, I didn't like my own engagement pictures?!?!

Well,  The Lord blessed me yet again.  I absolutely positively adore my engagement pictures!  Our photographer, Emily Rodgers (whom I would totally tell everyone to look up and hire if she wasn't retired), was amazing and captured us perfectly.  I love the colors she enhanced and the ideas she brought to the table.  I was so relieved to get the pictures and to love every one of them.

Sooooo, all that being said.  My engagement pictureS are my favorite pictures of myself.  All of them.  I couldn't choose.  Lucky you gets to see them all.....

















































And there you have it Folks! My favorite pictures...
