Long story short is that I was instumental in getting Nicki inspired by photography in high school and we both took many photography classes, which then led to Nicki going to college for photography and I for design & photography. You can actually see the styled shoot we collaborated on here. Nicki was also instrumental to me moving south (She lives in Beaufort, and I lived in Savannah) and now I've moved back north since my husband was offered a job near his hometown (New York) that we couldn't refuse. Nicki and I helped each through deployments her husband and mine. When she asked me to come to Shane's homecoming, I warned her I may be a mess! I actually didn't cry since I was so busy capturing iphone videos but then when Alexis shared the images I bawled!!
Alexis is a good friend as well, and she did an amazing job capturing this beautiful homecoming. Alexis and I have worked on a few other weddings and styled shoots, so I knew she would be perfect to capture Nicki's homecoming. She has also become one of A Military Story vendors which you can see by clicking on the VENDORS link at the top of the page.
I found this gorgeous song "I Will Be There" by Steve Curtis Chapman which I felt the lyrics would be perfect to join together with Nicki and Shane's homecoming images. Oh man, get those tissues out!!
I Will BeThere ~ Steve Curtis Chapman
Tomorrow
morning if you wake up
And the sun does not appear,
I will be here.


If in the dark we lose sight of love,
Hold my hand and have no fear,
‘Cause I will be here.



CHORUS
I will be here when you feel like being quiet;
When you need to speak your mind, I will listen.
And I will be here when the laughter turns to crying;
Through the winning, losing, and trying, we’ll be together,
‘Cause I will be here.

Tomorrow morning if you wake up
And the future is unclear,
I will be here.
As sure as seasons are made for change,
Our lifetimes are made for years,
So I will be here.

CHORUS
I will be here, so you can cry on my shoulder;
When the mirror tells us we’re older, I will hold you.
And I will be here to watch you grow in beauty,
And tell you all the things you are to me;
I will be here.
I will be true to the promise I have made,
To you and to the One who gave you to me.
As sure as seasons are made for change,
Our lifetimes are made for years,
So I, I will be here.
We'll be together and I will be here.
I will be here.


If in the dark we lose sight of love,
Hold my hand and have no fear,
‘Cause I will be here.



CHORUS
I will be here when you feel like being quiet;
When you need to speak your mind, I will listen.
And I will be here when the laughter turns to crying;
Through the winning, losing, and trying, we’ll be together,
‘Cause I will be here.

Tomorrow morning if you wake up
And the future is unclear,
I will be here.
As sure as seasons are made for change,
Our lifetimes are made for years,
So I will be here.

CHORUS
I will be here, so you can cry on my shoulder;
When the mirror tells us we’re older, I will hold you.
And I will be here to watch you grow in beauty,
And tell you all the things you are to me;
I will be here.
I will be true to the promise I have made,
To you and to the One who gave you to me.
As sure as seasons are made for change,
Our lifetimes are made for years,
So I, I will be here.
We'll be together and I will be here.
I had to insert a couple of pictures with me too. Miss You Guys!!
