Military homecomings cut me to the core. In the best way possible. As Air Force wife myself who has endured the months of separation from my spouse I can’t help but cry happy tears when I know how another spouse is feeling. My sweet friend was about halfway through her pregnancy when her husband deployed. He wasn’t able to come home for the birth of his second son because of the Covid pandemic quarantine requirements. And so this was the first time he met his second son in person.

How strong military spouses are. My friend endured hard things with a glad and joyful heart. Prayers, patience and support got her to this special homecoming day.

To say this session was challenging is an understatement. It did not happen in optimal photographic situations… it was night, in a dimly lit parking lot. Homecomings are fast pace to begin with so with that on top of the no light I certainly did my best for this sweet family reunion after 10 months and another baby later!

Please Welcome home Captain Hunter in this New Jersey Army Homecoming. Enjoy!
