A surprise military homecoming photo session for my good friend Jennifer of J Butterfield Photography. A few of her images are mixed into the video (at the end) before she joined the rest of the family and went in front of the camera.

Its always exciting when I have the pleasure of photographing a homecoming and this one was a little different than others. This one took place at their home. Mom and I plotted and planned out the return of the kids with their dad who had been away for far too long. They knew he would be back soon but had no idea when. So after school I arrived at their house got all set up and dad walked out of his hiding spot to greet his kids who were busy playing out in the garden. It took a few moments but once the little guy caught sight of his daddy he clung on tight and did not let go the whole time. You can tell mom is glad to have her man back and get some help with the kids as well. Welcome back Lt. Col Butterfield.

Sit back and watch their reuniting story
