An emotional day...

Today was quite an emotional day, not only for me but for some very strong military families. I had the honor of being apart of Ryan's return from Iraq today. His sweet little daughter just couldnt wait to jump into his arms as she ran towards him as fast as she could. As she and daddy caught up about the recent events in her life she couldnt help but tell him over and over "I love you daddy". It really was so sweet and heartwarming to be part of such an emotional and happy time for this family. Here are a few shots from todays homecoming. And dont forget to pick up the Ventura Star this week where you will get to see an article on Photography By Charise and Operation:Love Reunited, featuring this amazing family as well as the Miller Family.

And another sweet couple that I was able to sneek a special moment on camera of as well. ;)
