Hampton Roads Military Event Photography

For families who serve and sacrifice, military event photography that honors your dedication and captures the joy and emotion of family reunited.

A deployment tears your heart in two...a homecoming renders it anew.

Say Hello

As crazy as it sounds, the best time to book a homecoming photographer is before, or shortly after your loved one leaves. I tend to book up quickly, especially for the larger ships!

Fill out my form with as much detail as possible. I know you won't be able to give me a date because of OPSEC, but I will need to know the Command so I don't double book!

Tentative Schedule

I will reach out to you with my availability within 24 hours, or the next business day.

I find a quick phone call is the easiest way to make sure I can answer all your questions.

If you decide we are a good fit, I will get you on my schedule with an "ish" date. Homecomings are given priority on my schedule. All I ask is that you keep me in the loop as much as possible!

Planning It

Your Ombudsman and FRG will be your go-to resources to hear about specific homecoming details. Every Command is different and their homecomings are unique to them! But I will work with you on my side to make sure you feel ready to greet your loved one. From helping plan outfits, to giving you ideas for signs, I'm here for you.

As a military spouse myself, I already have base access, so that's one worry off your plate! I want your day to be special and I will be there to capture your special moment.

Your Session

It's finally here! Your family is about to be complete again!

The day before your homecoming, we will talk about where to meet and how we will find each other. I will arrive as early as possible so there is plenty of time before the big moment.

While we wait for your loved one, I will capture the anticipation, the moments between friends, and the activities. Once the big event begins, I will be there to capture those first hellos and all the joy after your reunion. Enjoy this moment. You've waited so long for it!

Your Photographs

With homecomings, you will receive sneak peeks within 24 hours. I know how much you want to relive that special moment and share it with family and friends!

You can expect your full gallery within 2-3 weeks of homecoming. All galleries are password protected.

Homecoming galleries contain a minimum of 40 images, but often much more!

Featured Military Events

You have shown so much resilience these past months, holding down the fort while your loved one is away. The moment you're reunited is special and deserves to be remembered!
