When the theme of "excited" came up this week over at I Heart Faces, I knew immediately that I would dig into my redeployment archives to find this little sweetheart. She's just waited 15 months, and most recently, 2 hours inside a cold Army tent, in the pouring rain, waiting for her Daddy to arrive home safe from Iraq. It's got some blur from motion, but can you blame her for not holding still? I was shooting at ISO 1250, with a zoom lens at F5, 1/40sec. and probably should have bumped it up to ISO 1600 but got caught in the moment and couldn't stop clicking. I would never wish anyone's soldier away, but God how I love to shoot when they finally come home! To see this family's story, and a glimpse of little Miss Sunshine just moments before this shot, click HERE.

That is so, so precious! I love father/child moments. And this one is just sheer joy. I could look at this all day. It's infectious.

O*M*G*osh! What a beautiful moment!! Brought a tear to my eye!
OOOhhhhhh......I don't know who is more excited...Daddy or Daughter!
I love the little hands on her daddy's cheeks. What is it about girls and their daddies?! Great entry...I had the same notion and went straight to my reunion pictures.
