Welcome Home, Josh!

A great big Welcome Home goes out to Josh!

Josh safety returned from Afghanistan today and his family welcomed him with wide, open arms. I met Josh’s wife, Lori, at a class for Marine spouses a while ago and was excited to be a part of such a special day! Josh’s mom and sister (with his niece and nephew in tow) had flown in as a surprise for his homecoming, and Lori’s sister was there as well. Though baby Grace had (unintentionally, of course) given away her secret on the way to Camp Horno, Josh had no idea that his mother would be present as well. The reunion between everyone was truly heartwarming.

Here are a handful of my favorite images from this afternoon!

Welcome Home, Josh!

San Diego Shooting Group – Old Town

Hi all!

Last month, the San Diego Shooting Group got together in Old Town San Diego to photograph a Marine and his gorgeous bride. These two had just been married for two months! Below are some of my favorites, including a “behind the scenes” shot!

The fabulous Kammi Long provided the hair and make-up artistry for this shoot. She did a wonderful job, don’t you think?!

A huge thank you goes out to Karlee and Dylan for joining us on this warm afternoon for some photo fun, and to Kammi for doing such a lovely job on Karlee’s hair and make-up! And another thank you to the photographers who came to practice. :)

What is the San Diego Shooting Group? We’re a casual group with photographers of all sorts of levels of experience, who get together every other month to practice our craft. If you’re a San Diego-based photographer looking for a fun group to get out and shoot with, feel free to email me, facebook me, or tweet me so I can let you know about everything we have planned! We get together every other month, so I’ll be scheduling the next event for sometime in December.

xoxo,
Lauren
