I was once an active duty military member myself. But today, I am military spouse. So, I understand long hours, long deployments, the heartache of saying goodbye, the strength needed to keep it all together – bills paid, trash taken out, grass cut and the kids comforted as they miss their father. And I also know the joy of meeting my husband when he returns.<\/p>\n

A majority of my clients are military members or military spouses. We are apart of an amazing community that holds dear to our military members. I wanted to give something back since \u00a0I have been given so much as well. \u00a0So, I became a volunteer photographer for Operation: Love ReUnited (OpLove)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

OpLove photographers offer, free of charge, to be there for our troops \u2013 for the\u00a0tender moments as they are leaving on a deployment, a session with the military\u00a0member\u2019s family while they are gone, or the elation of their return. A small album (also\u00a0free of charge) will be sent to the soldier, so they can have the keepsake\u00a0with them while at their duty station. The Operation helps those long months go by a\u00a0little faster. It’s designed to capture moments that you will long remember and always\u00a0treasure. It’s art. It’s love. It’s all made possible by artists wanting to give something back\u00a0to those who make the United States what it is, and ask for nothing in return \u2013 but for\u00a0these men and women to come home.<\/p>\n

I am one of two OpLove photographers on our island. For more information on my availability for these sessions, click HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The children below are probably ones you will recognize. Their mother & I have become close friends as we’ve gotten to know each other through the last 2 years. We first met at her daughter’s 1st Birthday session<\/a>. Since then, we’ve seen her & the rest of her family \u00a03 other times. Unfortunately, little “L” was not really in the mood for the first 30 minutes, which was the first time since I’ve known her. It took a while to warm up. But when she did, she was as cute as can be. Her older brother “H” was so very patient and sweet with her. It ended up being a great session! I can’t wait to send their father his album. He is loved & missed so very much! Thank you so much for letting me serve you again! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
