A long while back, I posted that I was a member of a non-profit group of photographers called “Operation: Love Reunited”. The group members donate a special portrait package to our brave servicemen and servicewomen who are being deported to serve our country overseas. It doesn’t matter if the soldier is being sent to a hot war zone, or to a peaceful country. Being deployed means being separated from your family and loved ones, and that is never easy. The goal for those of us affiliated with Op:Love is to help ease this separation by providing the families quality photos and memories to keep with them. The soldier also gets a complimentary photo book sent directly to their location so they have something to keep with them as well.
Recently, I’ve been very honored to be able to work with a couple of families from the Grand Forks Air Force Base. I’m not quite done working on the photos from my most recent session, but I thought I’d share some from an earlier one that I missed getting posted.


I am so thankful that there is some small thing that I can do for our nation’s soldiers. Every military family I have in my studio is one that I am honored to photograph as I know they sacrifice a lot for us and our nation. Thank you to all of our military men and women.

I’m considering adding a set day of the week where I will be at the studio. This will be a great time to call to schedule appointments, to pick up orders, or place orders. I want this to be convenient for everyone, so what day of the week is the best time to do business? I will still be available for sessions by appointment on the weekend, but Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday are completely out due to both the day job and the schedule of the salon I rent out of. If you could take the time to answer a quick survey, that would be great!

Yep! I’m still alive and kicking. What can I say? I wasn’t very good at keeping a diary when I was younger, either. LOL
These last two months have been very good to me! March and April were just fantastic. I had a lot of great clients in March, and April was spent getting caught up on their orders. Would you like to see some samples? If not, too bad, here they are.
Just a few for now… I’ll try to get some more up later on. (No promises, though… LOL)
Lacy waited until almost the very last minute to do her maternity photos. Part of it was because I was at a convention, so scheduling had to wait until I came back. But one week was this……


And the next week there was a baby! I got to take some photos of the little princess. What a cutie!

I also FINALLY got Teri in for some photos. We’ve been talking about this for ages!



And last but not least, I’ve shown this little guy before. He’s getting so big! His room has a lot of cowboy stuff in it, so mom decided that daddy got a turn. Rock on, little dude! (See his tattoo on his left arm! I love it!)


That last expression just kills me.
I also have some really fun and exciting things happening this summer with Joyful Heart Photography. Be on the lookout about the beginning of June for more info!
