I hosted my first ever APW in Oklahoma and it was beyond awesome! Aside from the ridiculous wind which apparently is normal in all of Oklahoma, the turnout was great, their questions were fantastic, their feedback was greatly appreciated and most importantly, our models were phenomenal! Hannah and Hank are incredibly genuine and I don’t remember ever photographing a serviceman who was so easy and willing to smile. Though, I also don’t know any other servicemen married to Hannah! They were perfect for the APW and I cannot thank them enough for driving all the way from Lawton to be voluntarily paparazzi’d. Thanks again for allowing all of us photographers to “picture” you!
