Where to take their pictures...

Johns cousin (more like brother they grew up with each other live in the same neighbor hood and all that jazz) is coming up from Beaufort, SC. He is a Marine as well and I am going to take pictures of them together. Where should I take pictures of them...Outside my house isn't really that pretty...not any good places to take pictures of them.

OOOOH OOOOOH lol
What kind of pictures do you want?
Are they going to be in uniform?
What are you wanting to "go for"?

Pretty sure dress blues! I want to have them stand next to each other and salute....Etc.

I'm not sure about the area you are located, but you might want to try looking up a local American Legion post or something. Usually they have memorials/flags and stuff outside that give a very "patriotic" setting.

Oh yeah I forgot you weren't down here

Yeah I was thinking about the Beirut Memorial...but don't know if they will go for that.

Don't let them have a choice . . .

Oh and they have the Vietnam War Memorial as well..its really pretty. Maybe I could get some shots there too...

I just dont know how they will feel about being in their dress blues out in public ...just for pictures.

Yeah, that could be a problem . . . lol

Yeah he said "I"m not going that far to take pictures"...

Sometimes they are weird about wearing uniforms anywhere . . .
(another thing I am not really sure about)
I was under the assumption they were not "allowed" to wear uniforms out in public without a specific reason?

Eh' They can wear them..its just most Marines won't wear them unless it is a special occasion.

My husband is especially weird about his uniforms. He's really picky about how they look and where he wears them.

He said "why can't we just walk out in the woods and take pictures"

Eh those might make cool pictures too . . .

Jon will only put his blues on if I pay him for it.

Buuuuuuuuuuuuut...since I have quite a fancy for him in his blues, it's a win win for us.

Haha, yeah Chris is not real keen on putting on his dress uniform either. I have had to beg him and told him he had no other option but to wear his uniform to my graduation. He better do it or I'll kick his little behind.

Do you have a flag at your house? Maybe just in front of the flag?

I would go around to a few different places. Take pictures of them in dress blues along with regular clothes, maybe BDUs (did I get that right? The camo?). I would take them to a park, some place like the American Leigon or War Memorial (something patriotic), walk through the woods. I used to make Chris model for me all the time.

I don't know in jacksonville. But I could tell you a 1000 places in beaufort sc.....sigh...I miss beaufort.....hey the beach is always a great place. Stuffy uniform mixed in the the relaxing of the beach....actually I would just want to go to the beach!

I vote the beach. Just because I'd want to go to the beach too.

You know your John isn't going to want to do that though.

There's no nice places in your backyard or anything?

Well the people that live next door dumped trash out in the woods...so when you take a picture any where in the back yard you see the trash..maybe we will just walk farther back in the woods..I know I won't get him to leave the house.

The woods would be nice. It's a manly setting.

We will see. Hopefully they are both nice and don't make stupid faces in all of them

Oh but you know they will. hahaha

I'm sure...but I would like at least 3 good pictures.

I think the woods would be a good place!

I vote woods too. There's tons of places on base you could go right by the back gate.
