{Goodbye Kisses} Bowie Couples Photography
Posted on October 13, 2009
I have known Sonny for a long time. He is one of our good friends and at one point even rented a room from my husband and me when we lived in Hawaii. I just met Virginia, his girlfriend, and I have to say that I am so happy Sonny has found such a wonderful woman to be with.
Sonny was getting ready to deploy to the other side of the world for a year, and I was privilaged enough to be able to take their pictures before he left so that they both have some beautiful images to look at while they are separated to help them remember how great their other half is. They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder and I am sure that this is exactly the truth for these two.
Thank you both for trusting me with taking pictures that capture such an important time in your lives. I loved working with you both, and Sonny, you stay safe and get home as soon as you can.

I love that it is so obvious they enjoy simply being around each other.

Are they sweet or what?


It was such a nice day and I’m pretty sure there were at least a couple of times where they completely forgot I was there they were so wrapped up in each other.

See what I mean?

I loved seeing the quiet little moments between them.


This was followed shortly by a little bit some serious goofing off but they were great about sharing some of their smiles with me too.

See, great smiles–and can you just see the pride in her face? I swear she was thinking “Yup, I caught me a good one!” although I freely admit she probably phrased it better than I just did ;^D

And another sweet moment as even when she was caught in thought, you can tell she is loving being in his arms.
Thanks again you two for letting me spend part of your day with you. I hope you love your pictures.
