This dad is meeting his brand new baby for the first time while home on R&R from Iraq. He's only home for 2 weeks, and then he has to leave his new baby and wife again to return to the war. And he's fighting on the front lines! This image is so powerful to me and reminds me to keep him in my thoughts and prayers.
PostChallenge: Thank you everyone for you wonderful comments! I volunteer my services for Operation:Love, Reunited (www.oplove.org), so this was a free portrait session for this family. And this dad received a free album of 4x6 proofs while in Iraq. Not to mention...he and his wife loved every picture and bought all of the proofs as well as many, many 8x10s and others. This picture is still my favorite!
