A Military Family of Photographers for Honors Ceremonies

Attlee Photography owner Tracey Attlee is also a professional photographer of full military Honors ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery. Her own family’s experience with the consequences of war inspire her and her USMC-retired husband to create lasting tributes to our nation's heroes.

Tracey's father, Gardner Attlee, was combat wounded WWII Navy so she has a lifetime of experience watching a parent struggle with permanent war injuries. Then there is a man she never met, her uncle Mike, lost at sea, KIA, WWII. Every family holiday Tracey's grandmother would go to her special drawer in the kitchen and take out her son's Purple Heart for Tracey and her cousins to see. Her grandmother wanted the grandchildren never to forget their uncle's patriotism and memory. Tracey's grandparents had no opportunity to view an Honors ceremony for their son. A shocking government telegram followed by a grim package of personal effects followed by a Purple Heart medal in the mail was their only farewell.

Anyone who has ever tried full Honors photography at Arlington National Cemetery will tell you it is the hardest two hours of work a professional photographer can do, emotionally and physically, especially when complicated by pouring rain, howling winds or swirling snow during the ceremony. But Tracey believes nothing can be as hard as what the deceased's family is enduring. She has respectfully photographed military Honors ceremonies for the last 10 years with her husband Todd A. Smith, a retired US Marine and an award-winning professional architectural photographer www.tasphoto.com.
