OpLove: Reunited

I was recently approved as a photographer with Operation Love: Reunited. It's affectionately called: OpLove. As a member of Oplove - I offer free sessions, and a free album to the families of deploying, deployed, or returning from deployment soldiers.

As the wife of a soldier - I know how precious photos are when you are apart. As a photographer - I feel it's my responsibility to provide support in a very unique way to our soldiers. As an American, I feel that they are owed more than any of us can ever pay for the sacrifice they, and the soldiers before them, have made for us.

I had the wonderful opportunity to photograph a GORGEOUS couple tonight. Because you don't know these folks up front, you never know what they are going to look like when they knock on your door.

You should have heard me when I opened my door to this gorgeous family. OH YEAH!!! ;-)

Mr. T is a rambunctious 5 year old - who did really well, as long as I promised he could go outside to play! So we got a few images with him... and then sent him out to play.

One of my favorites - I told him to 'look serious'... but he couldn't do it!

This is the gorgeous couple - I love the emotion in this image.

It looks sweet...and serious... I'm glad I'm a photographer, and not a videographer... cause the moment after the shutter went 'click' they cracked up... 'You were breathing!'... I'm not sure when 'breathing' became funny... but I cracked up along with them.


This one needs no explanation...

And okay... so... I have a thing for pregnant women. I love - LOVE maternity photos. So... you get two of mom... deal with it! Ain't she gorgeous!!!

I had SO much fun getting together with you guys this evening! I can't wait to meet the new addition to your family!
