A Soldiers Life

“Soldiers are dreamers; when the guns begin they think of fire lit homes, clean beds and wives,” Siegfried Sasson.

A soldier’s life is filled with self sacrifice, and with every soldier’s sacrifices are his or her families. Every family faces ups and downs along the way, but our hearts go out to those military families who certainly have it more difficult. Soldiers are often required to move from base to base, uprooting their families, leaving behind homes and friendships they have built. During war soldiers are required to be away from their home and country for long periods of time. This sometimes means missing the birth of a child, a first soccer game, graduations, anniversaries and even the death of a loved one. But it is these families that give our soldiers strength and hope in moments of despair.

Here at Heath Photography we have the pleasure of capturing these families together. While soldiers are away it is images of their loved ones that they cherish most of all.
We are lucky to be able to share in the joys of their togetherness; whether it is to photograph a new baby, a wedding, or an oldest child’s senior portraits, we truly enjoy capturing these memories for military families and hope that the images created might bring some joy and comfort to a person who selflessly gives so much for his or her country.

Tiffany and Dell Rodriguez from Lafargville, New York are just one of the many military families that we have the pleasure of photographing. Seen here is the Rodriguez's daughter Brooklyn, expressing her patriotism.
