I had the distinct pleasure of photographing and working with Babette Maxwell, Executive Editor and Founder of Military Spouse Magazine.
As Babette talked about the mission of Military Spouse Magazine and her work with the Spouse of the Year awards, the first thing I noticed about her was her boundless energy, which she definitely needs, as she is also the mother of three boys and a proud military wife. This pint sized dynamo of positive energy has been on mission since 2008, to recognize and honor the spouses of our nations military members.
The May 2012 issue of Military Spouse Magazine listed it’s 2012 Branch Award Winners. They are an impressive bunch of six winners representing the Coast Guard, Army, Marine Corps, National Guard, Air Force and Navy. If you are looking to read about some truly inspirational people who are making this world a better place, pick up the May edition of the magazine and get to know these movers and shakers supporting military members and their families. From these six impressive branch winners, one will be chosen as the award recipient for the 2012 Spouse of the Year.
I had the opportunity to photo document the National Guard Spouse of the Year Branch Award Winner, Christine Gilbreath. She is truly inspirational and it was a great honor to work with her and her husband Staff Sgt. Scott Gilbreath. Christine was a member of the Army, before moving to the Texas National Guard and used to work on Chinook helicopters. Thanks to 2-149th GSAB the “Rough Riders, we were able to incorporate a Chinook (very COOL! ) into the photo shoot which was a perfect backdrop for an environmental portrait highlighting Christine’s military service to our nation, as well as the families she supports through her role as the Battalion Family Readiness Group Advisor. So excited to see these images in print! You can read more about Christine and her area of focus for the nomination below. Stay tuned… the 2012 Spouse of the Year will be announced May 10th in Washington, D.C.!
