KAISERSLAUTERN HOMECOMING PHOTOS

Check out our Kaiserslautern family photography sessions for more photos like these Kaiserslautern homecoming photos in the area.

It’s always great to hear about spouses coming home from deployments. When the Sunwoo family got in touch with me they let me know they were looking for Kaiserslautern homecoming photos. Cpt. Sunwoo with the 67th FST was coming home from a deployment and his family wanted to greet him. It’s always a variable for when they’ll actually come back. So for homecoming sessions we are in frequent contact with the spouse as they get updates. Most of the time we’re able to be adaptable and change with schedules (we haven’t missed one yet). We’re happy that the day came and we were able to go in and capture these photos for the Sunwoo family.

When we got there I went around and got the lay of the land until we saw Jenny and her children arrive. Once they arrived they were greeted by the other families waiting for their spouses. The kids ran around and played with their friends holding signs and American flags. The spouses gathered around the warehouse and talked amongst themselves, anxiously waiting for the vans to arrive. While waiting we got their signs together and did some family photos with them holding those signs. We got some fun shots of them waiting, holding signs and playing until the time came.

MILITARY HOMECOMING PHOTOGRAPHY

When the vans pulled up there were several military members who got out first and ran to their families. As they got out I was trying to focus on and pinpoint Jenny’s husband. As he came out the kids ran out to him first and then Jenny came with their daughter. When he left for deployment their daughter was still very young and getting used to being around him. Their reunion was so precious to watch as they hugged one another and cried. Their daughter took a minute to warm up before she was comfortable and used to her dad holding her. After the initial excitement everyone went into the warehouse to grab snacks and some drinks. There were cupcakes, chips and sodas for everyone that the kids were more than happy to get into.

Once everyone got some snacks and talked a little amongst other families we went out to capture a few more photos. First we did some photos in front of the building they pulled up to. After that we went behind that warehouse where they were storing the unit’s vehicles. They found his hummer and and we did some photos with the kids on top of the hood. These were some precious photos and then we caught some of his son jumping off the hood. It’s always a special opportunity to be able to capture such a special moment. We’d love to be considered for your Kaiserslautern homecoming photos or at any other base we’re near. Send us a message and let’s talk details for when your spouse is due to come back!
