Couples Session Giveaway: Addie & Caleb

Here's round two of my May giveaway!  

I had the hardest time picking between all of the local couples who contacted me and couldn't settle on just one.  I'm so glad I met these two!

My husband and I are high school sweethearts, so finding other couples who are makes me do a little jump for joy on the inside!  Addie & Caleb are both from Charleston, SC and met in the 5th grade.  They have literally grown up together.  How sweet is that?!  I got so excited talking to the two of them.  It's hard to put into words how finding someone so similar to yourself can feel in a town where almost everyone is away from home.  Caleb and my husband share an infantry MOS, and turns out they love dogs too!  I already want to have a Labrador play date!

The love these two have for each other is rare.  I don't think I even captured it well enough in my pictures!  Caleb is scheduled to deploy this summer which made this session all the more special.  They are both so genuine and sweet, and I hope our paths cross again very soon!!

Enjoy this glimpse into their seaside session!

A Rainy Day Homecoming

When it rains, it pours.  In more ways than one for these two...

The flight window for this couple's homecoming began right after July 4th weekend, and didn't end up being until early August.  Scheduled for noon, their arrival was then pushed back several hours.  And then it rained a little.  And to top it all off, her hubby wasn't feeling well and we thought we would have to meet him at the Naval Hospital!  (Seriously, we even drove to the emergency room!)  What an emotional roller coaster.  I couldn't even begin to put myself in her shoes.  This Marine Wife is one tough cookie!

Thankfully, the day took a turn for the better, and the result was beautiful.  These are my absolute favorite homecoming pictures to date.  A true depiction of what military wives go through.  Thank you for allowing me to photograph this special day.

First Day Home

After an early morning homecoming, I met these two again the following evening for some sweet maternity pictures in the park.  

This couple is so much fun to be around, I could not be more happy for them! :)
