The Clegg Family :: Surprise, Arizona Family Photographer
February 17, 2010

These are the experiences that make me cherish what I do.

Earlier this week, I had the honor of photographing an incredible family. Travis is a pilot for the US Air Force. Their family has has been uprooted more than once, and I’m sure they’ve sacrificed normalcy on multiple fronts . I respect Travis. Really, respect him. He puts others before himself – for a living – adores his children, and deeply loves his high school sweetheart.

In March, Travis will leave to serve in Afghanistan.

Travis and Jenn, your light in this world is one to give thanks for.  During such a hectic time in your life, know that what you’ve given up pales in comparison to what you’ve given. Your photos reflect your sweet souls, so during your time apart, I hope you find strength in each others’ smiles and the joy in your babies’ faces. LY.

::wipe tears:: OK! So, our day couldn’t have started out any better! ;-)

    Our prayers will be with you all as Travis leaves to serve our country. The pictures are darling of all of you.

    I always remember asking Travis in 8th grade, ” What if you don’t get into the USAFA where will you go to college?” He replied, “But I WILL get into the USAFA.” The kid knew what he was talking about! Bloessings to you all.

  27. those boots are just way too cute! great images Gina!

  28. Michael says:

    Beautiful family and great photos as always. Of course my favorite was the last one (you know I have great taste in photography). It looks like it could be an “inspirational” poster saying something like “Always pick carefully, you never know who’s watching.” You know something classy and not cheesy at all, and I wont even charge you for my great idea. Anyway keep up the great work and I’ll talk to you both very soon.

    You know

  29. Awesome job! LOVE LOVE LOVE the last photo! Well I love them all but the last one is priceless! :O) Great meeting you last month. Definitely added your blog to my rss feed!

  30. These are BEAUTIFUL! The last one is hilarious and so real I love it! Love your website and blog! So fresh and fun! Totally makes me smile!
