This dad finally got to meet his baby girl! Such a precious military homecoming!

San Diego blessed us with some perfect sunny weather for this submarine change of command in Point Loma!

After seven months of deployment this family was reunited in beautiful San Diego!

This dad was reunited with his family after a long deployment in a submarine!

After many extensions and almost a year at sea, the USS Nimitz finally returned home from deployment!

Wow! Military homecomings really get those happy tears flowing!

I loved getting to know this lovely couple and their three year old son during this Homecoming Front Yard Session!

As per Navy tradition, LT SOAPY got hosed down after his last flight for Key West SAR. The fun part is his wife (newly married by the way) was the one who had the honor of drenching him with the hose.

Congratulations to Chief Graham! It was such an honor to photograph this ceremony of his promotion from 1st class to Chief at the United States Coast Guard Sector Key West.

It really means a lot to me when previous clients re-hire me for photo sessions :).

It was my roommate and great friends last flight in Japan today. What a bitter sweet moment!

Another fantastic Change of Command this morning. Wishing this beautiful family a fun and wonderful adventure at their next duty station! 

It is always such an honor to photograph anything military related.  

I just love this family :) I photographed Sarah, Andy and Abby for Cherry Blossom season and was so excited when Sarah asked be to photograph Andy's homecoming.

Homecomings just make my heart melt. There is nothing quite like that anxiety, excitement, nervous feeling of waiting for your loved one to return home from sea.  

Norman called me to see if I could take photos of him in his uniform with his mother on a clean white backdrop.  She was visiting Japan from New Jersey and really wanted to get some photos of them two together. 

Look at this lovely group of spouses! The HSM-51 OSC photo is officially out for March 2020 and I am so honored to have been the photographer for this.

Nothing quite like a military homecoming to get those happy tears flowing. Welcome home Warlords!
