A brand new baby!

Some of you may know this great family. I have photographed them before, and this is the newest addition. Her daddy is deployed right now and he was the very first person who got to see these images. I hope you love these, M, your newest daughter is just beautiful, and as I told your husband, she is peaceful, and a sunbeam, with her wavy hair and soulful eyes. Thanks for having me over to the hospital to take these for you. More to come asap!

OpLove CA HOMECOMING!

Oh What a happy day! Homecomings are the sweetest, and I LOVE to capture those quick moments of joy when a beloved family reunites at the airport. The anticipation, the embraces, the smiles, laughter and tears of joy are what make me want to do these over and over again.

Miss "C", thanks so MUCH for asking me to do these photos for your family, it was just a wonderful experience to see it unfold in front of me. I totally cried when I opened these up to edit your sneak peek!


































































Soooo happy to see his dad!












Total joy!
















































A father sees his new son for the first time.

























































Channe 11 interviewed the family right afterwards!




















Welcome home! Thank you for serving our country.

Operation: Love Reunited

This slide show isn't my work, but I think it's so powerful. I love doing these sessions and am grateful for the opportunity to serve military families in my area who have loved ones deploying soon. For those of you who are thinking about having portraits done, I hope you decide to do it. For those who are on the fence about doing homecomings, oh please let me capture those first few moments of the emotion and love and surprise and all the things that come with it.
