I can't say that this was a stretch for me at all. There are all types of families in the world, but one that is near and dear to my heart is that of military families, being of one myself. The sacrifices that we as wives, mothers, husbands and fathers have to make is one that we don't take lightly, but we do so with honor and pride.
I was honored when one of my best friends asked me to photograph her husband's homecoming from a 7 month tour in Iraq. When he left his daughter was still a newborn. The joy they experienced being reunited as a family is a memory I won't soon forget. THIS is why I heart faces.
