Last week I was invited to a pretty special event for the Collins family. Janna and the kids have been missing dad Nick while he’s been on a nine-month tour in Afghanistan with the Sixth Battalion of the Royal Australian Regiment. They were all very excited to get Nick back.
It was a pretty emotional sort of day, waiting in the crowd for the soldiers to come out in to the terminal. As each one came out, the crowd clapped and cheered, and one by one they were reunited with their families.

It’s especially gratifying to be invited by another photographer for an assignment like this! Janna runs Janna Collins Photography. Taking pictures for another photographer is just a little bit nerve-wracking!
