I had the pleasure of documenting beautiful milestones for the Volk family. First, the arrival of their sweet little boy. Second, a special homecoming! I know how hard it can be for families to be separated and I personally believe it is even more difficult with children. Although it can be a challenging time, nothing is more exciting than counting down the days until a loved one returns!
It was a very cold night aboard Camp Lejeune, complete with some freezing rain, but it was definitely worth it! I got to hang out and watch little man smile, talk and blow raspberries (which was my favorite). He has definitely grown into quite the little ham =) Before you know it, the buses were just a few moments away and we were anxiously waiting for them in the freezing rain. It is an amazing feeling that overwhelms you when you see a family reunited and I am so happy that I was able to capture it. Here are a few of my favorite images from the night!
With love,
