OPLOVE Member

Operation Love Reunited

As you can tell, I am not much of a blogger. Most of the time I forget I signed up for this. But every now and then something comes up that reminds me I should update this.

OPLOVE is that something. I have volunteered for this program. I can not believe what a great idea this is! Volunteering my services as a photographer to the families of service members about to be deployed or returning home from deployment. Being able to capture that very special time in photographs. Man, how I wish there had been something like this available while my husband served! These are memories that you just can't get back, but to have them in snapshots to view at leisure... priceless!

What is offered: We give the family a free pre-deployment/deployment session and a homecoming session NO SESSION FEES. Along with these sessions are one FREE 4x6 20 page photo book. The pre-deployment/deployment photobook is mailed to the service member. The homecoming book is mailed to the family. The family then has the option to purchase more from the photographer, but no purchase is necessary. They are not obligated to purchase anything further. Most photographers will offer their packages at discounted rates to the military families in this program. Why not? Giving back to those who give SOOOO much for us!
