I had a wonderful opportunity to photograph Elizabeth and Joshua in a Pre-Deployment OpLove photo session last week. While the weather was extremely hot and bugs were everywhere, I captured some really nice moments of the two in a relaxing park by the St. Johns river.

Enjoy a quick video of the photos from the shoot!

It’s official. I’ve been accepted as an Operation: Love Reunited (OpLove) photographer!

Operation: Love Reunited is a non-profit organization that provides free photo sessions to deployed or soon to be deployed active duty military and their family. As a photographer, I volunteer my time and talent in providing free photo sessions and a free 4×6 photo album to the deployed service member.

Our service members put their lives on the line for us every day and this is a great way to give back to them. I know first hand what it’s like being away from family and friends for months on end as I’ve served in the U. S. Navy for 10 years and experienced several deployments myself. I wish this service would have been around back then but I’m happy that it is now and that I can be a part of it.

If you’d like more information on Operation: Love Reunited. Please visit their web site listed below. Also, if you know of a service member and his or her family that would benefit from this service, please direct them to the web site or to me and I can help them!
