Operation Love Reunited.

I am happy to announce that I am now part of Operation Love Reunited.
So, what is that anyway?

If you have ever been through a military deployment, there are no words to explain how hard it is to send the father or mother of your children off to some foreign, dangerous land, leaving you all behind…. Alone. It’s indescribable to watch their faces light up as their mother or father comes up the stairs of the airport after months, possibly a year or more, of not hugging each other. Emotions fly through the main lobby, it’s so very good to have them home. Your base’s Family Support Squadron will help you with your deployment. But the last thing on your mind when your wife or husband arrives home after a 4 to 18 month tour, is capturing all this love– on film. Most people are so overwhelmed with emotions they forget to simply point and shoot the camera they are grasping of their child’s first hug, or that single tear of relief from a mother being able to hold her twenty year old son again. With the help of Operation: Love ReUnited and local photographers near your base, you can.

I have signed up to be one of these photographers. I know all too well how it feels. I am an Army wife and a Navy Veteran. I want to do as much as I can to help preserve these important moments. I feel honored and thankful to be able to serve my country again, but this time behind my lens.
