Fall Photo Shoot!

I absolutely LOVE fall and am sliiightly depressed that it is almost over!! Before the vibrant colors faded and it got too cold, we managed to get a fall photo shoot in for this beautiful family:

The fact that they have a little man that is a natural poser made my job too easy. I willing admit that I took a LOT of pictures of this certain little man...I wouldn't go as far as saying too many though because there is no such thing as too many pictures ;)

See? Too cute. I rest my case.

While I have been MIA online I have been in action photographing a wedding, a few photo shoots, and recently working on a lot of time consuming business marketing stuff. AlyssaBeth Photography is going to be undergoing a lot of change! Mostly just having an actual logo (which, man! It doesn't just magically appear!) and becoming a business, though I still like being referred to as "that friend that likes to take pictures". ;)

Washington D.C World War ll Memorial

This was amazing! We were in the World War II memorial when this honorary ceremony started unfolding! I had no clue what was happening and still didn't until I came home to research what was on all their T-shirts. It's called the Hudson Valley Honor Flight*. They are a non-profit organization that transports American veterans to visit their memorials in D.C at no cost to them as a thank-you to these heroes! You can visit their website here to learn more about them!

Sent shivers down my spine. These men fought for the freedom of our country...many of them living with physical disabilities because of it...and look how happy and proud they are to have fought for our freedom! Thank-you isn't enough.

The dancers added to the festivities!

They had oldies music on and were amazing dancers!

After the ceremony many of the veterans headed over the the Vietnam Memorial where volunteers would trace out the names of their loved ones from the walls. Such a sobering experience.
