Operation: Love ReUnited Session

This beautiful family was so much fun to work with. They had a very good sense of humor! Little bit took direction quite well. Mommy being a photographer had a lot to do with it, I am sure!

Your sacrifice is not going unnoticed! Thanks!!!

Today's Senior

Congratulations and best wishes for a successful future!

Website will be down...

Some exciting things are happening! Unfortunately that means the portrait web site will be down (not the blog!) for a day or so. Once it is online again I will be introducing a "sessions site" where you and your guests can access your session and order all within the same program.

Thanks for your patience!

Exquisite bride and wedding!

First the bridal portrait.

Then the wedding day details....





Love a rushing bride!



All make for an exquisite, fun and memorable wedding day. Congratulations to the new bride and groom!

Birthday boys are so much fun!

Catching up on sharing recent sessions!

Here is one from a few days ago. You may recognize him as a newborn and later at a few months old with mom and dad for a family session. Where does time go?

This image is a 10x20 storyboard.

Thanks for the sacrifice!

Had my first Op-Love session today. As I sit here I realize this beautiful family will be apart for some time and it is heart breaking. It was great meeting them! I will post more later, but couldn't wait to share this one!

Thanks again to all military and their families!

And baby makes six!

I had the pleasure of working with this wonderful family a few days ago. They are a lot of fun and have a great sense of humor. I will be sharing more of mom's maternity session, but here are a couple to start.

Fun shoot today....

I spent the most excellent time with a graduating Senior '07. Such a lovely young lady, inside and out! I am sure I will be sharing many favorites from this session, but for now I will share this one!

Celebrating Adoption!

Celebrating Adoption is a newly created network of photographers. I am so excited to be proud of the network! My offering will include a pre-placement session and a post-placement session. One image of the pre-placement session will be included with up to 15 5x7 complimentary images from the post-placement session.

I will be offering one CA session per month. If you are a family through adoption and have adopted within the last 12 months you are welcome to call or email to schedule your session. If you know a family touched by adoption please refer them to my blog.

More favorites!

I finally have some time to share some more favorites from recent sessions! Enjoy!

Operation: Love ReUnited

I am so excited to have joined the Operation: Love ReUnited campaign. As a participant I will have the privilege of sharing in special moments with military families around our area. Operation: Love ReUnited is a national effort.

If you are a military family and would like to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity you have the following options.

1. Have a session before the soldier is deployed And/or
   
2. Have a session when the soldier returns home.

The specifics.

The sessions will be limited to two per month. I have my first already scheduled so only one more left for February. Please contact me for availability.

Pre Deployment sessions Included will be immediate family. A 4x6 album will be mailed by myself to the deployed soldier. It is the responsibility of the soldier's significant other to provide me with the soldier's address once the soldier reaches their destination.

If legal entry to the deployment event is arranged for myself, I would go to the event and photograph there. Otherwise we will get together and agree on a location. On important thing to consider is that during the session at least some images need to be with the soldier in uniform. Some images will be posed, but others may have more of a story telling feel.

Once the session is complete, an online gallery will be provided. You are welcome to share that link with family and friends. The number of images delivered to the soldier will vary, but will range between 10-30. The family staying at home will have the choice of five prints. A DVD slide show of the images will also be provided.

Homecoming Sessions If legal access for photographer is obtained I will gladly cover the event; up to three hours. An additional outing after the arrival at the airport will be available as well. This can be an outing for a treat or the continuation of the session at your home or park. This session will have more of a storytelling feel than posed images. You will be able to view an online gallery of the images. Again, the number of images ranges. Your 4x6 prints will be presented in an album and a second DVD slideshow will also be provided.

All of the above is provided to no charge to the military family.
