My first official Operation Love Reunited Session!

Operation Love is a program for deploying, and deployed military members and their families. Hundreds of photographers across the country make up this program and give their time to help make the deployment a little bit easier for military families. I myself had been given this opportunity when my husband was deployed and it was such a blessing that I had to join too! I'm so thankful for our men and women who serve and want nothing more than to do my part in helping them! For more information on Operation Love Reunited click here!

So yesterday I had my very first OP Love session and I'm so excited to share a few photos I captured of this cute little family. Due to rules and regulations I have to follow through this program I am unable to disclose their names or any information about them. But the photos still speak for themselves and I know you will enjoy them all the same! I just want to tell this family thank you for letting me take your photos and also a big thank you for serving and making the sacrifices you make for our country! Best wishes and I will pray for a safe return home!

We took our photos early yesterday morning at Benedictine College. We didn't even get to cover the whole campus but it was such a gorgeous place for photos! I can't wait to go back!

I'm so loving my new polarized lens I bought! Check out how the sky pops in this one!

This little lady was such a cutie patootie! And we will see more of her in a few weeks for a first birthday shoot! I'm so excited to play with this little gal because I know we will have lots of fun! =)

I had to steal mom and dad for a minute to get some of them too of course! But we couldn't stay away from playing with the little miss for too long...

They are such a cute little family!

We couldn't let them get through the session without some daughter - daddy time though =)

And then we let the little cutie play with some of daddy's things....

^^^ my fav! ^^^

We let dad change out of his uniform and into something more comfortable and so I got a few shots of mom and the little lady while we waited and had some snacks.

And off we went to get a few more family shots...

And a few more of the love birds =)

And I will leave you with a wide shot of the family with a beautiful Benedictine building (sorry, I don't remember the name of it)! I could center a whole session just around this building alone I think!

Thank you to the family again and be on the look out for some fun with the little miss in a few weeks!
