MILITARY HOMECOMINGS + EVENTS
FOR THE MOMENTS YOU'VE WAITED MONTHS FOR—AND THE MILESTONES YEARS IN THE MAKING.

The countdown finally hitting zero. The first glimpse across a crowded homecoming. The hug you've imagined a thousand times. The promotion that represents years of hard work, sacrifice and service.
As a Marine Corps veteran and military spouse, I know these aren't just events on the calendar.
They're chapters of your family's story worth remembering.
From long-awaited homecomings to promotions, retirements and military ceremonies, I'll be there to document the big moments—and all the emotion happening in between.

ARIZONA & SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WEDDING + LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHER

You've counted the days, survived the schedule changes and probably refreshed your phone more times than you'd like to admit.
And then suddenly, they're there.

The signs. The nervous pacing. Kids scanning the crowd. That first glimpse. The sprint across the pavement. The hug where everything else disappears for a minute.
I'll document the anticipation before they arrive, the moment you finally find each other and all the happy chaos that follows.

HOMECOMINGS

PROMOTIONS + CEREMONIES

YOU DON'T HAVE TO EXPLAIN MILITARY LIFE TO ME

Promotions, pinning ceremonies, retirements, reenlistments, changes of command and other military milestones represent so much more than what happens during the ceremony itself.
They represent years of early mornings, long days, time away from family, hard work and sacrifice.
I'll document the traditions and formal moments that matter while also watching for everything happening around them—the proud spouse, the kids watching from the front row, the congratulations afterward and the people who helped make the journey possible.
Because some milestones deserve more than a phone photo.

As a Marine Corps veteran and military spouse, I understand that military events don't always run according to plan. Homecoming dates change. Times move. Information comes in at the last minute. Ceremonies have traditions and moments you don't get a second chance to photograph.
I'll communicate with you, stay flexible when plans change and come prepared to document the day as it unfolds.

THE WAIT IS FINALLY OVER.

THE MOMENTS YEARS IN THE MAKING.

I've lived it, too.

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS

I promise, it's super simple!

1. TELL ME WHAT'S HAPPENING: Send me the date, location and whatever details you have so far. Still waiting on specifics? Totally normal in military life.

2. SAVE YOUR DATE: A signed contract and retainer officially put you on my calendar.

3. KEEP ME UPDATED: Homecoming time changed? Ceremony details moved? Welcome to military life. Just keep me in the loop, and we'll adjust as details come in.

4. BE IN THE MOMENT: You focus on your people. I'll document the anticipation, traditions, hugs, tears and everything happening in between.

5. RELIVE IT: You'll receive a beautifully edited gallery to download, share and keep long after the uniforms are back in the closet.

I’ll send over a contract and invoice, along with other helpful documents as we begin planning your session!  

step two

I’ll send you a styling guide, client closet document, and a location guide. 

step three

We will work together to plan your session and bring your vision to life!
