Welcome Home, Tommy!

Posted June 16, 2013 In Military

Homecomings rarely happen as planned, and this one was no different. The estimated time of arrival shifted too many times to keep count, was originally scheduled for one day and ended up happening the next, at one point was going to happen at 0500 (that’s 5:00 am!) and even was delayed after the men had landed in Ontario due to their bus breaking down on the way back to Camp Pendleton. Still, the families were overjoyed to see their loved ones return safely–and the Marines and Sailors of 1st ANGLICO’s SALT C couldn’t hide their excitement to be back!

I was incredibly excited when Sarah asked me to photograph Tommy’s homecoming since my husband is also with 1st ANGLICO, and Tommy was being reunited with their 9-month-old son, who was only 12 weeks old when he left for Afghanistan! I know little E kept Sarah busy while Tommy was gone, and I’m sure they were both thankful to have him back. The smiles on their faces say it all!

Bethany & Doug – Oceanside Harbor Family Session

Posted June 06, 2013 In Families

Photographing a family that included both a cat and a dog was mildly challenging but oh so fun!! Bethany asked if we could meet up at one of my favorite places, Oceanside Harbor, for a quick family session a couple weeks ago. Of course I obliged, especially since I was able to use the session as an excuse to do a pre-session visit to the harbor and pick up a delicious breakfast at Beach Break at the Harbor while I was there. Not that I really needed an excuse to do that… ;)

Here are a handful of favorites from our action-packed session!
