Happy 4th of July, America! There is no better way to celebrate than to feature this Air Force baby. As a Bedford family photographer, I’ve had the pleasure of photographing many families that serve our flag, more specifically on Hanscom Air Force Base. This base is one of the few active military bases that I have visited. Probably, the closest Air Force Base that I know of that is in close proximity to Boston (it’s about a 40-minute drive). Learn more about the base here.
One major highlight of the base is this beautiful vintage airplane that is a centerpiece on the base. It makes for a perfect backdrop. I have often wondered about this plane’s history. Who knows if it’s real or a replica of a warplane?! In-person, you can see this plane is surrounded by the American flag (whoah!). One can’t help but feel extra patriotic and thankful for all the men & women protecting our country.
I’ve been photographing little baby B regularly since his birth. It’s exciting to know he will be a big brother soon. I can’t wait to capture another newborn photo session for this family. I’m especially excited to watch this family grow. I am also very honored to capture a family that has been serving our country. Happy birthday, ‘Merica!
