Within this blog you will find everything from Funeral planning for Veterans to Newborn photography.

Navy Hospital Corpsman (HM) HCB A School Graduation | Fort Sam Huston | San Antonio, TX

Navy Hospital Corpsman Basic (HCB) Graduation Class 200 October 27, 2022

Hospital Corpsman Basic (HCB) program courses are group lockstep. The program provides Navy enlisted personnel with a basic medical knowledge of pre-hospital, inpatient and outpatient medical care within the scope of the Hospital Corpsman. Subjects include Basic Life Support (BLS), medical terminology, anatomy & physiology, pre-hospital care, and inpatient and outpatient aspects of each body system. Outcome-based practice and safety techniques are emphasized throughout the program. The program consists of lectures, group activities, demonstrations, hands-on instruction and clinical practice.

Military Homecomings | VMFA 225 | Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Miramar

"I got to see the bond between friends made in the military.

These two women are at different stages of their life but united in supporting their loved ones.

Overall, I loved photographing my client's family, and seeing such raw emotion; but I equally loved watching these two friends interact through the anticipation of their Marines coming home.

Do yourself a favor, hire a photographer! "
