Love Reunited/Tacderan Homecoming/Jacksonville NC/Homecoming Photographer

If you know me, you  know how much I love photographing homecomings. If I could seriously only photograph homecomings I would. There is just something so amazing about it. There are a million emotions that are captured. I love it!  I am so glad I was able to do Nikki's homecoming. This was her first deployment and they are newlyweds! I am so excited that James is now home and they can begin "being married". I am also so glad that Andy from Bronze Oak Films was there with me and captured it all on video. He is truly amazing. I seriously recommend him, especially for homecomings! Here are some images that were captured. Enjoy!

Pento Family/Family Photographer/Jacksonville NC

 I had a great time working with the Pento family...They were so sweet to work with & extra sweet when I lost my keys. Yes...I lost my keys to my car during our session. They were sweet enough to try to help me find the keys (no luck ) then waited with me at my car until my good friend good bring my other set to me. That was seriously probably the most embarrassing moment I've ever had in front of a client.
Here are some shots I got from their session...

Lifestyle/Welcome Adara/Jacksonville NC

I had the pleasure of taking some photos of our good friends Blake & Erin and their new daughter Adara. Blake was about to leave for a deployment , so Erin wanted to capture some photos of them before he left. Because of the weather, I thought it would be best to do some indoors. I am so glad we did. When doing these I fell in love with "lifestyle" sessions. I think they are more personal , they allow the family to relax because they are in the comfort of your home and you get a lot more "real" shots. I was so happy how these turned out.  I'm glad that they have these to look back on and I had the pleasure of doing them. I highly recommend lifestyle sessions, especially to you who have newborns. Here are some of my favorites from that day.

P.S. I give discounts do those who have a spouse who is deployed or about to deploy. I think it is very important to capture sweet moments before deployments.
