Chris and I just got back from another annual trip to Lancaster County. We celebrated our anniversary a little early this year due to Shelby’s graduation falling on the actual weekend of our “real” anniversary. I always enjoy this trip so much – people often ask why we go back to the same place every…
Several months ago, Beth contacted me to do an OpLove Session for when her husband returned from his deployment to Afghanistan. I was thrilled that she asked me, and even more thrilled to find out he was coming into National Airport. The anticipation and emotions were a roller coaster all month and when Beth e-mailed…
Beth,
The girls are beautiful. I’m glad Ron is home. I sitting at my desk hoping the kids don’t see my crying. It’s so touching. The photos are fabulous. Thanks for sharing them.
Melissa, these photos are unbelievably touching. Having had my own overseas deployment for 9 months, I can relate to what Ron was feeling. Your photos are so good that you can read the anticipation on everyone’s face. You captured a precious, once-in-a-lifetime event for this family, and you did it beautifully. Years from now, they will look at these photos and remember this moment in time. Having walked in Ron’s shoes, I can tell you that this was a profound gift that you gave them when you preserved this moment in photos.
Good karma, great photos.
Joe
