OpLove reunion 5-24-10 SB

As I'm not able to do more than one OpLove reunion at the same time, dear friend Diana stepped in to assist with this reunion. Thanks Diana, and thanks to the B family for their sacrifice from being away from each other over the past year. Hope you enjoy this little fraction of the whole year, which ended up as a joyful reunion in each other's arms.

OpLove reunion 5-24-10 KW

Operation: Love Reunited is an organization I am PROUD to be a member of. We photograph the families with a deploying member of the family before or during deployment for free, AND send the deployed person an album of his/her loved ones while he/she is gone to defend this great country of ours. And the most joyful part of this part of my job is when I get to photograph the reunions and capture all of the JOY and EMOTION!

This is but a small part of this family's big day. I know they were waiting for a long time... and had to wait a little longer before they finally arrived. BUT how great is this beautiful reunion? I really enjoyed being there to capture your reunion, Miss K... thanks for asking me to be there.

I love this one... Looks like the oldest was saying "lalalalala all this emotion hurts my ears." hahaha.

Oh you sweet lilttle baby!

When I do casting calls, I am generally trying out a new prop or concept. I recently found these beautiful rabbit skin pelts and thought, ooooh how pretty to put a baby on these with a rustic basket and it'll be just gorgeous! :D

This poor baby was willing to sleep. She really was. I finally was NOT the most interesting person in the room. However, when we put her on the pelts with the basket and it looked so cute... she would slide across the fur as if it were ice LOL. I'd get her settled, holding her still, silently willing her to keep her pose, and she'd sleep all right... til I let go... and sliiiiiide... and she'd wake up!

So I have to find a different thing to do with these pelts. And get a different basket.

So I did other stuff for momma... look how sweet these all turned out!

Cute, Cute, Cute!!!

Look at these two cuties! They were so fun to photograph, I so enjoyed having you guys over! These are all out of order, I couldn't decide. LJ, I hope you love these! I think they turned out super-cute!!!

Heheheee I love how she's cupping his chin in her hand!

Super cute family!

It was one of those days that the Powers That Be in the photography world cast a shining smile on the kids and they ALL co-operated and smiled and behaved themselves. That is til the baby decided that while Mom and Dad were getting their pictures taken that she wanted to squirm out of her car seat. LOL. But then she forgave me and all is well. Look how adorably cute and close this family is to each other! I thoroughly enjoyed photographing these guys. There are so many great ones it was hard to choose! :D

Miss J, thanks SO much for coming over. I enjoyed getting to know you and your family!
