**Please understand, Operation: Love ReUnited sessions are for deploying, depolyed and returning military families. Many of our photographers offer seperate pricing for military members if you are interested in family portraits. Thank you!**
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.

Are you a military family with a loved-one who is currently deployed? Would you like to do something special to show them how much you love and miss them – and give them a way to reconnect to you and their family stateside?
In honor of Independence Day, on Thursday, July 3, 2008 a group of photographers will be collaborating to offer Operation: Love Reunited family portrait sessions between 9:00 and 3:00 to families who have their love one deployed. You’ll spend about 30 minutes with a photographer, creating some great casual portraits and candid shots of your family. The photographer will prepare an album of 4×6 prints and send it directly to your deployed loved one, as this is how the OpLove program works.
We’ll be doing this at Liberty Station in the big grassy promenade area behind Vons and the North Chapel (2881 Roosevelt Road, San Diego, CA 92106: enter off of Rosecrans Blvd. and Roosevelt Rd. and park in the parking on the right side before the chapel).
To schedule your appointment, please contact Julie Edwards via EMAIL or by phone: 619-417-7397. Portrait session will have the usual patriotic theme, so wear your red, white, and blue, bring some boots, a hat, a jacket, dog tags or small props like a flag or a photo of your loved one. You will be required to sign a release and show proof of deployment when you check in, other than that there are are no strings attached – it’s completely free to eligible families!
Hope to see you out there!!

Hey all, I know it’s taking some time to get thru the applications this month. I’m so sorry that you’re having to wait. I currently have a TERRIBLE sinus infection that is hindering my entire life it seems like right now. On top of being due in a month, well it takes a toll. Gina, my knight in shining armour is working tediously on the applications today. She’ll get thru them as soon as possible. In the meantime please be VERY patient.
I’d like to welcome:
Marilyn, Emily, Devan, Philip, Desiree, Kelly, Jessica, Allen, Angel, Rebecca, Joy, Lisa, Dena, and Monica to OpLove!
