Love, Deployment and Boudoir

“Absence is to love as wind is to fire; It extinguishes the small and kindles the great.” — Roger de Bussy-Rabutin.

According to a recent study by the National Academy of Sciences, the average military deployment is roughly 8 months. Separated by thousands of miles and dozens of time zones, couples demonstrate incredible resiliency throughout the unforgiving hardship of separation.

For a number of deployed military personnel, a special surprise made the journey around the world to make them smile and celebrate the beauty of their spouse/significant other. Boudoir photography can be a deeply personal expression of love and desire, conveying emotion where words may sometimes fall short.

Producing boudoir imagery for the deployed has been part of our work since the beginning. Such boudoir sessions are as varied as our clients, ranging from traditional boudoir photography to fine art nudes, often including military accents, such as flags and fatigues. Using green screen technology we’ve even put together ’40s-style military pin-ups.

We’re pleased and honored to help bring those separated by deployment just a little bit closer and express our heartfelt thanks to all who have served.

Upon request, Appeal Photography provides a discount or additional edited images for all photo shoot packages for active military and their families/significant others.
