Despite the Distance Photography Series

First and foremost, thank you for taking the time to fill out this questionnaire. I hope that it provides you, as well as many other military spouses, with some camaraderie, love, and fellowship. The goal is to connect military spouses with like interests, lives, and experiences so that we are even more of a close-knit community than we already are today.

Secondly, please take the time to answer the questionnaire openly and candidly. If you are chosen, I will be taking direct quotes from your questionnaire, as well as paraphrasing some of the information you provide. Marriage is tough, yet beautiful. The military lifestyle is the same. Do not spare any detail: good, bad, or ugly. It could help someone else and feel good to write it down and get it out.

If you are chosen to be featured during the month of May, Military Appreciation Month, I will be scheduling a time with you to do what I call a “lifestyle session.” The purpose of a lifestyle session is to capture you in your most natural state—what that natural state is, is up to you!

Thank you again for your time and participation! Much love to all my fellow military spouses!
