colorado springs family photographer | oplove session | palmer park

Feb 01, 2009

There are several great charity organizations that photographers can donate their services to.  I volunteer with NILMDTS and OpLove, which both coincidentally have their headquarters in Colorado.  They are both fantastic ways to give back, and if you’re a photographer looking for ways to help, definitely check out these organizations!  I know they always need more volunteers!

Operation Love Reunited focuses on providing photography services to families of deployed military members.  I love seeing how strong military families are, and today’s family was no exception!  Araceli, Alondra, and Aliveigh were great at our portrait session today, in spite of the cold weather!

You know how I love to photograph little boys?  I also love to photograph sisters.  These two are awesome sisters.  Check out how they’re holding hands–I didn’t tell them to do that!

Tickling your little sister is pretty much mandatory:

I had to put that one in a storyboard series:

I love this shot of their awesome mom!

Ready for my favorite shot from the day? This is from their cute little family cheer:

The focus of OpLove sessions is supposed to be on the military/patriotic aspect, so we covered that, too:

They all had dog-tag style necklaces:

Thanks for braving the cold morning with me today!  I look forward to showing you the rest of the photos next week!
