Can I just take a second to say this family was absolutely the sweetest. It's so funny how fast you become friends with homecoming clients. Homecomings are so emotionally charged, even if you've met the client/photographer face-to-face, we communicate so much prior to the actual date (with multiple changes to day and time ALWAYS), that we practically have known each other for YEARS when we finally meet in person! LOL
Even the Soldier's mom and dad made it out from NC to visit AND welcome him home! <3
This little man was such a trooper. With time changes throughout the day, he was ready for daddy's return (even if he wasn't exactly sure why momma kept applying makeup and lipstick). ;)
When his plane landed his Dad said, "Can you believe it? He's finally home." He was so excited and proud and filled with overwhelming joy.
When the guys finally started coming off the plane, the crowd was hushed trying to find their soldier in the line of camouflage.
Then Dad saw him and waved. He turned around and exclaimed, "I can't believe I just spotted him!" High fives galore ...
And then the emotions came. Her love and their baby was home safe and sound.
Little man was getting hangry outside, but once mom and him came inside to feed ... he was all smiles and ready to see daddy!!
Then they were finally announced and marched in. The crowd went crazy
He is finally home! <3
Little man was sooo happy! (as well as wife, mom, and dad!) Welcome home Soldier!
