It has come to my attention that some photographers are charging for their OpLove sessions. This behavior is strictly prohibited and will not be tolerated.
If you are a client and have been asked to pay for your session, or been given a price quote for the session or session album, -OR- if you are a photographer and know of other photographers doing this, please send a private email to oplove1@gmail.com. Your name and information will NOT be disclosed. Any photographer who is charging will be emailed personally about the allegations. If that photographer does not reply within 3 days, their listing will be permanently removed.
Clients, please remember that if a photographer is NOT listed in our Finder, then they are NOT an OpLove photographer. It is OpLove’s goal to make this organization MORE OF an organization and less like a group. To do that, and to grow successfully we all need to stay updated on the ever changing policies per the DoD’s requests, and we need to make sure our Finder is accurate as well. We need EVERYONE’s cooperation to do this.
Thank you.
We will be voting for 3 new Board Members. These positions are strictly volunteer positions, there will not be any monetary supplements. You do not have to be a photographer to apply for the position, but you should have general knowledge on any kind of charity work and/or the military. Applicants are able to submit their applications until March 1st, 2009 and we will compile bios for voting purposes in April 2009.
Voting will be closed ballot, and only registered photographers can vote, based upon the provided information from the applicants.
