I ♥ LOVE ♥ My Clients!! And Amber's Homecoming Preview

I just want to say thank you to all my customers. I really do love what I'm doing and I hope it shows! Cocoa Bean Photography Customers are the best! I wanted to post Amber's comments(My client while shooting the Iwo Jima's Homecoming).

She was so sweet to send such lovely remarks! Love it!

"So, It's almost midnight & I happened to think, hey I should check out the Cocoa Bean sight. I happened to stumble across this blog & wanted to let everyone here know how amazing you are! Words can not express the appreciation I have for you & what you did for my family that day. I never expected to see you stay past the first delay, let alone tough it out with all of us crazy, soaked Navy families. It means the world to me to have those images forever in my heart and to be able to share them with my daughter and family. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything. And thank you to your friend as well! I can not wait to see the photos. I know the will great!ps... My husband says thank you too!" ~Amber

Amber- Thank you and here is your preview!



Amber and her daughter waiting anxiously for her Daddy to come in! She was so ready to see her favorite guy, and so sweet dressed in an adorable little sailor dress. Amber and all her family waited it out patiently.


...but as you can see waiting is not easy. If you happened to catch the previous blog explaining how long we had to wait you would already know- 6 extra hours is tough!

Even tougher in the cold, drizzley rain!


It is always a grand moment to watch the ships come in, but to be a sideliner watching the crowd of wives, children, and friends wait it out is heart wrenching!

Even with all that wait there is nothing that beats the happy ending! For me to get to record these happy endings is truely a pleasure and honor! Congratulations on your sailor coming home Amber and the rest of the families on the Iwo Jima.
