I love my job! Have I said that lately?? I have mentioned before that I volunteer for an organization called Operation Love Reunited. Photographers around the country volunteer their time to photograph families when a member is either deploying or returning from deployment. I had the absolute pleasure and privilege to photograph the return of Evan Landers to his family. He was in Iraq for the past 7 months and he returned home to meet his son!!! Little baby boy Cam was born about a month and a half after his Daddy left for Iraq. It was soooooooooo amazing to be there and witness Daddy meeting his son for the first time. So, I have put together this slide show to share the images with all of you. OMG - get out the tissues...I get goose bumps watching it.
I'm going to start putting together a slide show for the majority of my sessions from now on (yay!) and you'll have the opportunity to share them with your friends and family online.
Here's a couple of still shots and then click here for the slide show. Put on your headphones (there is music) and get out the tissues!
On a personal note...my surgery has been rescheduled for Tuesday, May 19th pending negative lab work on Monday. More info to come on that...but I got the doc office to admit it was their fault that this got all screwed up! Oh and one other thing...my parents are moving so we are having a moving/yard sale with them this weekend at our house.... tomorrow from 7-12pm. Email me if you want our address to stop by!
Thank you Evan (and your family) for your service to our country! Enjoy that sweet baby boy!!

It doesn't matter how many times I see these pictures, I still tear up. If that soldier and his wife are reading these comments, please know how grateful I am for the sacrifice you have all made for our country. You are amazing!!!!
How awesome it is that you got to capture such a happy day in that family's life. Those are great photos.
Thanks Evan and family for protecting our freedom and the sacrifices you've made!
Ok, I cried!!! Beautiful reunion
We absolutely loved the pictures and slideshow!! I don't know how my husband didn't cry...the Marines have made him tough, but I swear he teared up a bit! Thanks for all the nice messages. It's nice to hear people thank him and be appreciative for what he does! Makes me- and Cameron- so proud! :)
Katie-- What an awesome slideshow. I cried buckets!!
Evan and family-- thank you for your service and sacrifices on our behalf!!
