Living in a military community means that there is a constant struggle between saying goodbye and welcoming them home. Our Soldiers can leave at a moments notice, and than the family is left waiting and missing them. However, this makes the reunion even sweeter! I just love photographing Military Homecomings because of all the anticipation and emotion and excitement that happens! Waiting for the doors to open and seeing the soldiers walk in, spotting your loved one in the crowd, and than finally being able to run into their arms, hugging them oh so tight! Tears, laughter, smiles, capturing these true and raw emotions is what makes it so special!
Read MoreThe city of Fayetteville, due to its close proximity to Fort Bragg, NC is full of Military Families. Many have called this place home. This Family has also called this town their Home for a couple of years, but now, with Military Orders in Place, they are saying good bye. The Petersen's started their family here with their little girl who was born here. Now, they are on to new adventures in Georgia! But before they leave, they wanted to have their picture taken right here where their story began!
I AM SO EXCITED TO UNVEIL THIS! In the past couple of weeks I have seen these pop up a lot lately - meet the artist sketches! Of course, I HAD to have one as well - and here it is! The sketch was made by the beautiful artist Haley Hart! Very grateful that I get to support a new & young artist with this!
Miss M. is just a natural beauty! Her smile and laughter lighten up every room, and I love how carefree and confident this beautiful young lady is. Just married, she decided to book a Boudoir Photography Session with me here in my studio in Fayetteville, North Carolina as a gift to her sweet husband. We started the day with enhancing her natural beauty with professional Hair and Make up by the uber talented Elisha Seaton, than we looked through the beautiful lingerie pieces that she had brought together, turned on some 80's Music (her favorite) and started the session. We kept it fun with lots of laughter and spontaneous dance breaks to her favorite songs.
