{The View From Above}

Oh, about a month and a half ago, my friend Rich contacted me to do some portraits for his dad. He had just retired from the Navy and felt it was time to update the photographs in the frames. I would agree, since Rich almost never gets his photo taken!  Boy, was I in for a treat when Rich and I started talking about what we would do for his photographs. He is an avid private pilot and loves old war planes. So, we headed out the the Military Aviation Museum where I received the most through lesson in the history of avaition…ever. Rich should definitely teach this stuff!

Part two of our session was heading up into the skies so I could see why Rich has fallen in love with flying.  Well, I think I may be in love also. We started off at the Chesapeake Airport, headed out to the beach past Sandbridge and Knots Island, down the coast for a bit, over the Dismal Swamp and Lake Drummond, then back to the Suffolk Airport for a quick cup of coffee for me and breakfast for Rich. After our cup of joe, we left Suffolk and headed back to the Chesapeake Airport. We were up in the air from about 6:45 to about 9:30 am and flew at about 2,000 feet.  What a fantastic photography session!!!!

Rich…thank you for your service and a wonderful trip into the skies.

Cheers,

Jessica
