When I was first contacted to capture this heartwarming homecoming I felt very honored as growing up in San Diego the Navy has always been a part of my friends and even my family around me. I married a Navy man and my aunt was married to one too and in fact is an indirect reason of why I ended up in this beautiful city. I have so many friends who have moved on or are still here that have a military connection as San Diego is definitely a military town.

We met up at Coronado North Island and I captured a few far off shots as the ship pulled into port. A long morning of waiting patiently turned into a sweet reunion of daddy and his baby girl after missing most of her first year, as well as between mama and daddy too. :) What a special time for me to be asked to capture! Here are some of the beautiful and emotional moments from that special morning. I loved being a part of it and being able to capture these once in a lifetime memories!

Blessings,
