How Could I Ever Forget This One?

I put this on facebook and completely forgot to put it here. I am such a blog neglector (apparently, neglector is not a word. Psssh, whatever spell checker. I disagree). Maybe if my blog had farms and Mafias, like facebook, it wouldn’t be so easy to forget about. I can’t send people sheep and M16’s on my blog. Hmm, at least not yet…..

So, a couple of weeks ago, I got to shoot the homecoming for a man that I had done a deployed session for. I had already gotten to meet his beautiful wife, baby girl, sweet mom, and very energetic dog, so I was pretty excited for this one.

The scary part is…I almost missed it! Argh. Curse you AT&T and your crappy reception. If I didn’t love my iphone so much, you would be dead to me. Dead to me! Hrmph.

But with a little luck…and maybe some breaking of the speed limit…..I made it! Woo hoo!

This is Mari and baby Ailah waiting for daddy.

Woo hoo!

Ailah was a little overwhelmed by the whole situation. But there was a ton of people, a lot of commotion, and two big, loud buses.

As soon as the commotion died down, she was fine. 🙂

But! The homecoming wasn’t over yet…Friends and family were gathered at Indigo’s house to welcome him home.

And so was Sammie. 🙂

They hugged, said a prayer, had some cupcakes, and then disappeared…..no one wanted to be the third, or fifth…or 27th wheel.

  1. For the millionth time… THANK YOU… for being there snapping photos of our homecoming! It was SUCH a blessing to have you there!!!

  2. These are so beautiful! Every time you do these you just blow me away! What special moments for this sweet family!

  3. I will deny this if it ever gets brought up again, but this gave me chills, woman. You know what I think about this, but damn if you weren’t so good at these sessions! 🙂 PS What song is this?
