On the evening of Saturday, July 14^th, 2018, Brian came home from 2018 Maiden Deployment and KLJ Studios Photography was there to capture the special moment with a Family Lifestyle Photography Session. Brian, Tasha, Georgia (Brian’s Mom), Keegan, Abrian, Aidan, and Nathan were all reunited when Brian returned home from a 6-month Military deployment. Tasha, Brian’s beautiful wife and mother of four, was the very first person to meet him when his ship pulled into the dock. Later when Brian and Tasha landed, after a short plane flight to the Sacramento Airport, the entire family was then reunited. The photographer for the session was KLJ Studios Lead Lifestyle Photographer, Bethany Petrik. The Second-Shooter was KLJ Studios Lead Photographer, Kelly Lynn Jordan. Makeup for the session was provided by KLJ Studios Beauty Studio Makeup Artist, Veronica Pinzon. We are very thankful that Brian’s mother, Georgia, gave KLJ Studios a call and asked us to photograph Brian’s Military Homecoming.

Georgia did an amazing job organizing the event with such short notice! Brian’s parents, his sister, and many of Tasha’s family all gathered at the Sacramento International Airport with home-made welcome signs and balloons. It was amazing! Even Brian’s grandmother was able to be present for Brian’s arrival. Georgia made sure there was a limo to take Brian and Tasha to pick up their four kids. Keegan surprised his father with a brand new adopted kitten he had found 3-days prior. Abrian and Aidan entertained us with their amazing play-fighting skills, and we got to hear all about how amazing Ninja Turtles are from the littlest brother, Nathan. Later, all the family gathered at Morgan’s On Main where they had 25 seats reserved for the big family celebration. A big thank you to Jacob Shelby of Morgan’s On Main for helping KLJ Studios to organize seating for the family! Jacob even made sure that there were enough ingredients to ensure that drifter cocktails could be supplied to the entire group. Thank you, Jacob, and Morgan’s-On-Main, for helping to make the evening a great success for Brian and his family. And thank you Brian and Tasha for allowing us the privilege of capturing your Military Homecoming, and Brian, thank you for your service to our Country!
