An opportunity to say "Thank You!"

On Saturday, July 11th I will be afforded an opportunity to use my photographic talent to say "Thank You" to a very special group of families.

"Operation: Love Reunited" pays special attention to members of our armed forces and their families. I will participate with a group of professional photographers who will take portraits and candids of the families of 70 Army Reservists who are being deployed to Iraq in September.

These brave men and women will receive a number of beautiful portraits of themselves and their families as a keepsake to remember this special day that celebrates their bravery and sacrifice.

I was honored when asked to participate, and am truly blessed to be able to share in this very humble way with those who are willing to share so much of their lives with us. Additional thanks goes to my friend and colleague, Alex Wolff who worked so hard to organize the crew of photographers for this event.

May God bless and protect all of our service men and women, and guide them safely home.
