My last homecoming at Camp Lejeune happened to be a “bonus” homecoming for the evening 🙂 1/6 sent 2 companies home together but their homecoming was about an hour apart. After the Smith’s headed home,Julie Stone heard another wife’s photographer had catastrophic equipment failure and I was able to step in and cover the Brown family as well. […]

young homecoming | Camp Lejeune, NC Photographer
You might remember Malorie and Andrew from the session they did while he was home on R&R. You’ll also recognize her work in many, many of my newborn sessions – Malorie is the one I call when I need the most beautiful knitted things ever. I’m famous for calling last minute needing matching elf hats or mermaid […]
smith homecoming | Camp Lejeune, NC Photographer
This past Monday was my last day of homecomings while we live here at Camp Lejeune. Even though we are ready to start our next chapter, I am feeling very sad about leaving this town. It will be especially hard not to be here for the amazing homecomings. For those of you who haven’t experienced […]
allison homecoming | Camp Lejeune, NC Photographer
The night of our going away party I re-he-eally didn’t want to get up at 2:00 am to go to work. I had just gotten in bed and was cozy and warm when I got they call, they were on their way. Anyone remember that Dunkin Donuts commercial? “Gotta make the doughnuts…” Anyway, I got there just before […]
the branch family | MCAS New River Photographer
There are a handful of families that I have the pleasure of meeting every few months – and this family is one of my favorites! I met the Branch’s when Jessica was pregnant and then again when Abram was first born and every 3 months since then. This last time was to say “See you […]

The last time I photographed this couple it was at sunrise in the dead heat of summer, so it’s only fitting that this time around it is winter and midnight =)
sherman family | Swansboro, NC Newborn Photographer
Here is another catch-up post 🙂 This little man gave me a run for my money, but his dad knew just how to get him to dream land. It is always wonderful to photograph several generations welcoming a great-grandchild, and Mr. B’s family was no exception! The Sherman family was a referral from one of […]
ava | Camp Lejeune, NC Baby Photographer
Miss A is a miraculous little thing. She was born 10 weeks early by emergency C-Section. Her dad was rushed back to the states from deployment to be by her and her mom’s side and they spend 6 long weeks in the hospital. Here we are 6 months later and if her mom hadn’t shared […]
jones family | Camp Lejeune, NC Homecoming Photographer
At 36 weeks pregnant with her 2nd baby girl, I was really hoping I’d get to also photograph a labor & delivery that night…. but baby ‘K’ wasn’t ready quite yet. When I last saw Lauren at her oldest daughter’s 6 month session, her husband was serving overseas for a full year. I had just […]
the sokolowski’s | MCAS New River Photographer
I’ve been trying to figure out what to say in a blog about this family for a long time. Megan and I met for the first time when I did her maternity photos a little more than a year ago and since then we have became best friends. While both our husbands were deployed, we […]
galyean homecoming | camp lejeune, nc photographer
My friend, Megan, was photographing a homecoming and she saw a girl crying. Her photographer had an emergency and had to leave just under an hour before the buses arrived. I was technically on maternity leave, but she called me just to check and sure enough I was just sitting at home. So I loaded […]
I’m baaaaccckkk! | jill’s blog
… although I never really left, did I? While I was on maternity leave I finished editing the last sessions I did up until 37 weeks, then my wonderful husband returned from Afghanistan and 11 days later our second daughter, Madeline Rose (see above <3), was born … in our van. [but that’s another […]
