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!!!

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.

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.

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.

Mother and son...

I had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful family a week or so ago. Here is a sneak peek. And what is about mother/son and dad/daughter portraits that just tugs at me? You too?

Butterfly! Smile...snap!

Had a nice family session this afternoon. Who knew "butterfly" was another word for smile ;)?

Storyboards and Jewelry!

The following storyboard is a 10in x 20in. It would be mounted on styrene and could be beautifully displayed on a table top easel.



Another peek at the yummy line of photo jewelry.



This is an 8in x 10in storyboard.

One more....

Beautiful inside and out!

Had a session with a beautiful family today! They are as beautiful inside as they are outside. Take a peek.
