FORT CAMPBELL HOMECOMING PHOTOGRAPHY

Check out our Clarksville family photography sessions for more sessions like this Fort Campbell homecoming photography session in the area.

It has really been an honor to be able to work with the military community around the world. After getting to do some homecoming session in Kaiserslautern, Germany we were excited about the opportunity to do more at Fort Campbell. It’s always a special occasion to be able to capture this moment where a family is reunited. Being a military family is hard on both sides and getting your significant other back home safely is definitely a special occasion. For this first Fort Campbell homecoming photography session we were in touch with Alison to coordinate. She had been given a date but as we all know, those dates are subject to change. As she got updates she would relay them to me just so we stayed up to date. As we got closer she got more of a solid date and time for Andrew’s return.

Leading up to their newly scheduled homecoming ceremony we had a long road trip from Colorado. We had just arrived back to the states from Germany and with that I had to go back to Colorado to get some stuff. We had left some things with Rachel’s parents and so I flew out to drive it back with her dad, Eric. It was a busy weekend but we got on the road and got back to Tennessee the night before the ceremony. Thankfully I was able to get some sleep before getting up and getting over to the base. Once I found the right building I was able to start capturing some candid shots as the ceremony proceeded.

Once the ceremony was complete, Andrew came directly over to see his family with lots of hugs and smiles. They talked and laughed and held one another for a while before we went outside. After we found his bags we made our way to their car and I then followed them to a spot they knew of on base. They regularly ride their bikes to/through this area and it’s also apparently a great fishing spot. After we got the location we went down next to the stream and began to grab some family photos. It was great to see all their joy together for this Fort Campbell homecoming photography session. Every interaction was filled with joy just to be with one another again. After we got some great photos here we went to the other side of the bridge and got some more shots next to the water’s edge.

Here we wrapped up this Fort Campbell homecoming photography session with family shots, shots of the parents and then shots with the kiddos. It was such a privilege to be able to meet the Isaacs family and to capture their reunion. If you’re in the Fort Campbell area and are expecting a loved one home from deployment we’d love to be considered. Send us a message and let’s talk details about the general timeline you’ve got.
