The Neal Family {Mississippi Delta Family Photographer

I've known Kayla and Larry forever. Well for as long as a 30 year old can know someone. We all went to school together what seems like a lifetime ago.

She has always been the outgoing crazy personality that makes things interesting and he was always the quiet laid back one; in other words, a perfect match!

They have been together for 13(?) years if I remember correctly, and are still great together.
These two have been through so much together, and it seems like they are only getting stronger.
Larry has decided to enlist in the National Guard. Something that I'm sure was not an easy decision for either of them, or their two children.

We met up on a Saturday and Larry was flying out that Wednesday for his training. He'll be gone for 9 long months. I know that to most military families, 9 months is a breeze, but to us civilians, that seems like an eternity. He's going to miss his wife and his kids and school plays and sporting events, all to serve our country. Way to Larry, you got this!

And y'all, say a prayer for Kayla. They moved away from family a few years ago, and now everything is solely her responsibility. You know, like making sure the kids are fed, and clothed, and homework is done, all while keeping a roof over their head + working full time + missing her husband. All while keeping her sanity :)

Enjoy a few photos from their family session!
