Backing the Blue Line
A few years ago after spending many years supporting military families through my photography, I decided to start committing time to supporting law enforcement as well. Not just because they faced many of the same fears and challenges supporting someone in a difficult career, but also because their work meant so much to the life of my family in its community.
And so, I began working with Backing the Blue Line. This non-profit organization seeks to support Minnesota law enforcement wives and families. It was an amazing opportunity and one that allowed me to see into a world I did not know beyond the papers. (Who knew I would see so much love and silliness from such serious men in uniform!)
In addition to some 'official' duties as photographer capturing events for the organization, I was also given the opportunity to capture several families. These images are just a small sample and the uniforms have been altered to protect the officers and their families.
