OpLove: {Deployed} Jasmine & Lil ‘Z

in Family, Op-Love, Sessions by admin — May 27, 2010 at 19:35 | 0 comments

I have recently joined the Op-Love Photography Organization. Op-Love is a group of photographers around the United States that offer free photo sessions to our Military Personnel who are getting ready to Pre-Deploy, are already deployed or coming home.

If you have been a long time follower of Susan B. Photography, some of you saw the photos I posted of my sister, her daughter and husband who was just months away from being deployed to Afghanistan for 9 months. It was this organization that I recommended my sister to get in touch with a photographer in Texas to have their photos done, that she decided that she wanted me to photograph their memories.

So I was excited to become a part of this great organization as of lately. I believe in supporting our military, and if I can help out by photographing a family for a love one who is over-seas, then I feel that I have brought the family a little closer together and help the gap of missing our loved-ones with images.

Last Saturday, I met Jasmine and her adorable 1 year old son ‘Lil Z (name protected online). ‘Lil Z was just roaring to go once he was where we decided to have his photo session – in an open field, with a running brook, stepping stones, waterfalls, bridges, the works. Everywhere was something to point at, pick up, pull at and had to be touched with his tiny little hands.

Jasmine’s husband is currently serving with the Army from Ft. Carson, Colorado. Jasmine and Lil ‘Z were so much fun – open for anything when it came to photo opportunities. I want to thank Jasmine for letting me photograph her and her adorable son, who must be a handful right now in his growing stages! Being able to capture Lil Z’ so that we can send her husband a nice 8×8 book while he’s deployed makes me feel so proud that I’m able to offer a service to our military.

A big thanks to Jasmin’s husband – Willie! Thank you for your service to our country. We are proud.
