Ashley & Dave's Homecoming

I was so excited when Ashley contacted me to shoot her homecoming because it was going to be the very first time her husband Dave was going to see her baby bump! She found out she was pregnant after he had already deployed, and hadn't shown him her belly in photos or on Skype - so he REALLY had never seen her.

It's always interesting to see how every homecoming ends up going - some are on time, most are late...Ashley's ended up being so early that a few wives from the unit missed it!

Luckily there was still enough time to hang signs before the buses arrived.



Ashley had that gorgeous pregnancy glow going on :) And the perfect dress for the occasion!



Unfortunately, Dave ended up being on the second bus, which came up about 5 minutes after the first one. But finally, he was off that bus and back in her arms.









LOVE Ashley's face here - so happy!







One of my favorite feelings to capture from each homecoming is that look of pure relief on the wife's face.



Dave also had someone else to say hello to - their puppy, Ajax.



Kisses for Dad!




Their whole family is back together (and soon to be four)!


Welcome home Dave, and the rest of 2/5's Advon! Thank you for your service!
