Military Send-Off | Operation Love Reunited

I've had a few people ask about the military send-off session since I posted a few sneak peeks on my Facebook fanpage so I thought I'd share some more images with you.


Military send-offs are like no other session.  They are extremely emotional.  There's no foo foo and frill props....just pure, raw emotion.


There's really not much to say except these soldier's are our hero's and so are the families.  Thank you for sacrificing so much for our freedom.

The image below is without a doubt my favorite.  He realized he had their keys so this was when he ran back to his wife giving the keys back and saying one last goodbye.  

And they're off...

All military sessions are complimentary to the families of deployed service men/women.

Peter {1 year} | Canton, Ohio Portrait Photographer

Well I don't even know where to start with this little guy.  At just over one year old, Peter has already battled Neuroblastoma.  He is off treatment but still goes through a series of partial body castings.  Due to the way the tumor pressed on his spine, it is curving and he is far too young for surgery to fix it.


Peter and his parents met me at the studio to get his very first portraits taken. From the moment that we met Peter he was all smiles!!  It had been raining daily and was starting to get cold but we were able to sneak a few photos at McKinley Monument Park here in Canton and then head over to the studio.


I am so honored that Peter's parents entrusted me photograph their little man and a huge 'Thank you!' to Kids Cancer Crusade for sending this precious family my way!
