Operation Love family portraits - {Albuquerque family photography}

I was honored to meet this great military family - the dad was about to be deployed and they came for some family portraits.  (Then I left on vacation and took forever to post their session, my apologies...)  They are so much fun - I really hope they love these pictures.

Military session in the bosque - {Albuquerque family photography}

Wow, blogging really takes the back burner when I'm so busy! I want to try to keep up a little bit, and this session is a great one to post. I have spent the last 2 weeks in the bosque, and we've had beautiful weather and beautiful fall color. This is one of my favorite sessions - a military family, where the serviceman was home on leave. He had just recently met his new daughter - who is just about 1 month old here - on this leave. It was an honor to meet them for family portraits.

This is an Operation Love session, which is a service some photographers provide as a small token of appreciation to our military servicemen and women. For more information, you can see the OpLove website.

Operation Love session - reunited! - {Albuquerque family photographer}

I was so very happy to do another Operation Love session! This family was reunited after about a year apart. I can't even imagine how hard that would be, or how amazing it would be to be together again! My humble thanks to this family for their husband's/dad's service to our country.

They have a little girl - DARLING. She was amazingly good while waiting.




Here's where things start to get really exciting. :) (Do you remember before we had cell phones, and we didn't ever know if the plane had touched down or not? I love knowing.)


Hooray! How sweet is this???

Military reunion session - wow!

This was such an amazing experience - a reunion between a serviceman who had been deployed and his family. He hadn't seen his family in 9 months, and had a new baby he'd not yet met. I was practically in tears on the sidelines with my camera :).

This session was provided as a service through Operation Love - if you are or know a military family who is being deployed or coming home, please see their website for more information. Or just email me :) - I loved this one (my first) and I'd love to do more.
