Growing up Military
I began working on my photo documentary "Growing up Military" in 2006. Over the past 11 years, I have attended and photographed several military deployment ceremonies, homecomings, promotion ceremonies and other events where children were present to give support to their military parents. Here is a very small sample of the thousands of photographs taken while working on this ongoing project.
