Welcome Home Avara!

Homecoming|Marine|Camp Pendleton, CA

I was contacted by Kara to see if I could do her homecoming photos. She was surprising her husband.

I had an idea. I sent her friend out with a phone to say she had a recorded greeting for him.

Then Kara ran out and surprised him!!

He was super happy to be surprised by her. He wasn’t supposed to see her for a few more weeks. She had gone home for the deployment and he was to fly out there to see her. But she pulled one over on him 🙂

 

Welcome home!

Haley and Brooke’s Session

Portrait Session|San Diego, CA

Haley and Brooke are an amazing couple. By the time I left their session the slight twang I have in my accent had come back.

Apart but it truly is wonderful when someone requests you to be their photographer.

Can I just say how much I loved Katie’s red dress.

I am a huge fan of sun flares. And I got some awesome ones during their session 🙂

They are a truly lovely couple. I enjoyed working with them.

I love working with Hearts Apart and being one of their photographers. I give back to our military community in a lot of ways and working with Hearts Apart is one of them.
