So I have known Renee (aka the Mom) for at least 12 years, maybe 13 or 14? She was a bridesmaid in my wedding and someone I hold very near and dear to my heart. So you can only imagine my joy when I got to photograph her daughter.
Here’s your sneak peek Renee, enjoy!
I did my first Operation Love ReUnited sitting this week.
Daddy is already in Afghanistan so they brought the signs they’re going to hold up at his homecoming!
This is little Sammy – I could have eaten him up – ADORABLE and super sweet – I’d photograph him any day!
God Bless you Neil! Thank you for your selfless sacrifice to be away from your family and serve our country!
I very excited to announce that I was selected in to this program this morning.
If you are man or woman serving our country and are deployed or getting ready to be deployed please contact this organization, this is a very special opportunity and you and your family deserve it!
If you have ever been through a military deployment, there are no words to explain how hard it is to send the father or mother of your children off to some foreign dangerous land, leaving you all behind…. Alone. It’s indescribable to watch their faces light up as their mother comes up the stairs of the airport after months, possibly a year or more, of not hugging eachother.
Emotions fly through the main lobby, it’s so very good to be home.
Your base’s Family Support Squadron will help you with your deployment. But the last thing on your mind when your wife or husband arrives home after a 4 to 18 month tour, is capturing all this love– on film. Most people are so overwhelmed with emotions they forget to simply point and shoot the camera they are grasping of their child’s first hug, or that single tear of relief from a mother being able to hold her twenty year old son again. With the help of Operation: Love ReUnited and local photographers near your base, you can.
The Operation helps those long months go by a little faster. It’s designed to capture moments that you will never remember. It’s art. It’s love. And it’s all made possible by artists wanting to give something back to those who make the United States what it is, and ask for nothing in return- but to come home.
If you are a member of the United States Military, and are interested in having very special and touching images with a patriotic edge taken of you and/or your family before a deployment or during, and at your reunion, please contact us now. You will receive a substantial package as a gift in appreciation for all you have been through as a military member. The package will always include a 4×6 album of pre-deployment images, such as a child’s hand clasped in his parent’s with the faint glimpse of a BDU sleeve, a marine in dress with his family, a sailor with his parents right before departure, or a child playing dress up in combat boots and a helmet. The album will be sent to the deployed soldier by the photographer, at no cost to you. Also with your package, all session fees will be waived. Your photographer may have a designated package for Operation: Love ReUnited participants at their discretion with signed model release.
