I would like to introduce you to Samantha and her son Alexander. They gave us a call asking about photos after seeing us in the media for Portraits of Love. Samantha told me her husband Richard is currently deployed in Iraq for his first time and would love to send him a photo from home. He is expected to return this coming February, just a month shy of when his second child is to be born.
So I jumped in the car yesterday and drove out to Pardeeville, WI. When I got there I took the camera out and started taking shots as Alexander showed me his elmo, firetrucks, and v-tec toys. Then a noise would sound from the kitchen and Alexander would run into the kitchen excitedly, only to hear his mom say "No honey, that isn't daddy on the phone."
Uh, it broke my heart and made me happy all at the same time. I'm happy because Alexander is so excited whenever he gets to talk to his dad. But sad because it has to be rough being away from your family. That is the main reason Nicole and I wanted to help by joining up with Portraits of Love and offering this awesome gift!
Here are some sneak peeks of the Carter Family from Portraits of Love:
I LOVED how Alexander was so focused on Elmo!
Tickle Fight! : )
Samantha, Alexander and a little bun in the oven.
Alexanders dad is also a firefighter. You can tell he looks up to his dad by playing with firetrucks.
