:: coming home ::

...in my short time volunteering for Operation: Love ReUnited I have met some of the most amazing people. Today was no exception. {T} and I have been emailing for months about photographing her husband's homecoming. By the time the day finally arrived I felt as though I'd been talking to a friend...scratch that...I HAVE been talking to a friend. This was my first homecoming shoot and being the sap that I am, it was right up my alley!! I can't even begin to describe the experience of waiting there with this beautiful, anxious, excited woman who so desperately wanted to see her husband walk through those doors. They've only been married for 2 years and he's been gone for 6 months of that. To see the look on her face as she saw the love of her life walking toward her, home safely, was just an experience I will never forget. Their embrace instantly erased the 6 months of worry and heartache felt by both of them. True love. I am so fortunate to have met these two extraordinary people.  


Welcome home Captain...welcome home!

{T} busied herself by helping out a wonderful organization that greets incoming soldiers...Operation Welcome Home  Maryland

After a pilot receives his first flight wings they cut them in half and give it to their significant other...so sweet

Can't you just feel her anticipation??

you try to shoot a homecoming and not get teary...I dare you!

I love this
