HOTEL Co MCRD Graduation Day 12.22.21
I am SO glad to have been booked by the Jimenez family for Hotel Company on Family Day and Graduation Day.
1200 close up photos taken on family day and graduation day here.
**Disclaimer ** I am not affiliated or contracted by the Military/MCRD. By hiring me prior to your event, I am your guest and there to capture your family for personal use. One or more person in every photo has an active photo release to Morning Owl Fine Art Photography or is a general overview photo that has been contracted to be taken for personal use.
It is a bitter sweet moment in my career as I say goodbye to 8 years of my own military service and I transition to self employed photographer; my last day activated at Naval Special Warfare Command is the 31st of December!
Here are just a few of the 1200+ photos taken of the day with some behind the scenes of me shooting portrait photos.

Many people confuse Memorial Day and Veterans Day, but each honors a different kind of sacrifice. In this post, San Diego military funeral photographer and U.S. Navy veteran Morgan Liberatore shares the important distinction between the two holidays, explores their historical roots, and reflects on what Memorial Day truly means. With local landmarks like Fort Rosecrans and Mt. Soledad woven into the story, this post invites readers to pause, remember, and honor those who gave everything.
