This was probably one of the most heartfelt sessions I've ever done. Korteney found out her husband was coming home after 7 months of being deployed and reached out to me about capturing his "coming home" moment at the airport. I'm so glad it worked out perfectly with my schedule and even better that it happened at our super small, local airport! He didn't get "lost" in the crowd and it allowed them to have a beautiful, intimate moments together. This was such a special moment for this family <3
