"Family is the foundational building block of all of which we are about. It helps mold us, shapes our value system, and helps to center the universe. Family is that which gives us the feeling of connectedness."

David G. White – Deputy Chief, Well-Being Division - "army families online"

Last summer my husband was overseas for 3 months. While he was gone, I found an organization called "Operation Love ReUnited" which is an on-going program that provides professional photography to military families at no charge. Three types of sessions are offered: pre-deployment of the whole family together, during deployment of the family at home, and homecoming as the family is reunited. Each family is eligible for two OpLove sessions per year. It’s a world-wide program.

I had the pleasure of meeting with Grace from Sam & Bellie and her beautiful family last weekend. Her husband was deployed on the 15th with the US Air Force. I hope to meet with Grace again before Christmas for a family shoot and another for her husbands homecoming in April.

Here's a sneak peak of their session.
