Welcome Home, Will!

Posted May 19, 2014 In Military

Celeste got her husband back from a 6-month deployment last week, and you can see her excitement in her beautiful smile! These two lovebirds met in high school and have been inseparable. Will was deployed with 2/5 on the 31st MEU, and returned to the same parade deck where my husband returned from his 2011 deployment! It was great to be back in the area for another happy reunion!

Here are some of my favorite images from the morning.

Welcome Home, Will, and all of the Marines and Sailors of 2/5!

xoxo,

Lauren

Welcome Home, Bobby!!

Posted April 30, 2014 In Military

Here’s yet another homecoming, featuring the sweetest little lady meeting her daddy for the first time! Robby and Travis were on the same ship, but Travis was dropped off at Camp Pendleton the day before the USS New Orleans docked at Naval Base San Diego, when Robby was able to disembark.

Bobby and Haily had plenty of family present to witness these amazing moments, and it was an honor to be there and capture it for them. Since Haily had given birth to McKayla while Bobby was gone, Bobby was set to be one of the first off the ship. Though it seemed like he wasn’t going to walk down those stairs soon enough, he finally made it down, and the family was united!

Here are some favorite images from the morning.

Welcome home, Bobby, and all of the Marines and Sailors aboard the USS New Orleans! Congratulations to Haily and McKayla for making it through this long deployment!

Thank you for having me capture this homecoming for you!

xoxo,

Lauren

Welcome Home, Travis!

Posted April 28, 2014 In Military

Capturing this homecoming was an absolute dream! Alicia contacted me last September regarding capturing this homecoming, and I knew it was going to be special when I found out that Alicia was pregnant and would be delivering the baby before Travis’ return! Plus, Alicia is from Texas and was staying with her family in Ft Worth while Travis was deployed, only a short distance from my grandmother’s house!

Little Finn was born about 2 months ago, and was so excited to meet his daddy last week! He is a total sweetheart and has the best smile!

Though the morning seemed like it would never end, soon enough, we were able to spot the LAVs coming over the hills to Camp Las Flores, and the Marines were home! Here are some favorites from the day.

Congratulations to Alicia and Finn on making it through this 8-month deployment! Welcome home, Travis, 1st LAR, and all of the Marines and Sailors aboard the USS New Orleans and all ships with the 13th MEU! Thank you for allowing me to capture these moments for you!

xoxo,

Lauren

Welcome Home, Mason!

Posted April 21, 2014 In Military

Jessica waited patiently for months for Mason to come back from his first deployment, and I was so excited to be there to capture this reunion for them! Several former Marines from Mason’s unit were present and kept Jessica occupied while waiting on the buses to arrive. Originally from New Orleans, Jessica said she felt like she was back at Mardi Gras while standing on an ice chest so Mason could see her from afar. ;) Here are some favorites from the evening.

Welcome home, Mason! And thank you to Jessica for having me capture this special moment for you! :)

xoxo,

Lauren

Welcome Home, Chris! – USMC Homecoming

Posted April 01, 2014 In Military

Stephanie and I had been chatting about her husband’s homecoming for a while before it (finally!) happened. She and I met because she is a Naval Officer and we worked together at the ROICC (construction office) at Camp Pendleton, and I’m so glad our friendship stretched beyond the office! While Chris was gone, Stephanie held down the home front while continuing to work at the ROICC and taking care of their sweet girl, E. E is such a cutie and was so excited to be able to give her daddy a hug again, after not seeing him for 6 months!

I was afraid I’d get stuck in traffic on the way down to Miramar, so I left terribly early. We met up at Stephanie’s house, even after I accidentally took the scenic route around San Diego, and finished up a few last-minute things before heading to Miramar. We got there just a few minutes before the airplane landed, but still had enough time to finish up the sign Stephanie put together for Miss E!

Here are a few favorites from the afternoon!

Thanks for having me photograph Chris’ homecoming! Welcome home, Chris!

xoxo,

Lauren
