OPLove Pre-Deployment Session {OPLove Photographer, Rochester MN}

First of all, Thank you. Thank you to every service man & woman and the families that are behind them. With out your selflessness I would not have the life I have and neither would my family. God Bless you all.

I recently photographed my first Pre-Deployment Session for an amazing organization that I am a part of Operation Love (www.oplove.org), a wonderful organization which consists of professional photographers who have come together to volunteer their time and talents to military families.

I was so happy that the weather cooperated for this session, cooperated? In fact it was BEAU-TI-FUL! The bond shared by this family was beautiful, and this sweet little girl captured my heart.

The Tiny Light Foundation- New Partnership!! {Non Profit Organization- MN Photographer}

I am So So So excited about my newest partnership with The Tiny Lights Foundation!! http://www.thetinylight.com/

Children have always been so dear to my heart, if I wasn’t a photographer, I would of gone to college to be a teacher, or a counselor. I am the oldest of 8 children, a mother to 3. Growing up we faced our challenges and with raising my own children I’ve faced challenges but it’s always been worth it. One little smile from a child makes everything else fade away.

The Tiny Light Foundation is a non profit organization that provides professional photography for children and families that have been faced with a life altering diagnoses.

We provide families with the lasting memories through the amazing art of photography. With the help of many photographers throughout Canada & now in the US we are able to provide families with photos they can share and help carry the many memories.

Our mission is to provide and capture memories that will help provide a family with one less thing to worry about. In the mist of dealing with doctors appointments, specialist appointments or just the daily life of medicines, rushing here to there for weights, check ups, and the many many other things we deal with in everyday life. A lot of the time photographs seem to take a back burner and not only with time, but with funds. When we look back we want to remember and even though you may not forget what you and your child has gone through we always want more we need the memories to last “Forever”.

We at The Tiny Light Foundation feel that helping families create these memories is very important. Each of us has somehow been touched by a family member or friend who has had to endure a life altering experience and looking back we know the importance of these special moments. So whether you have a child or know a child who would benefit from a professional photo session. Please know we are here to help. Each session is specially designed and catered to your child and your family. Each session is free of charge and you are provided with a high resolution disk of edited photos ready for printing and four sheets of professional quality prints. Our photographers are willing to travel to your home, hospital, school. We want to capture a moment in the day in the life of you and your child.

Each child is different and special in their own way. When dealing with a serious illness or life altering disability we know that sometimes it takes much more patience and time then a normal in house studio can provide. Each Photographer is hand picked and selected for that special reason alone.

Sneak Peek “A & C” Military Family Session {Lanesboro, MN Family Photographer}

I was so excited about this session, but also emotional… and it’s not just my pregnancy hormones talking. This is a military family, and Dad is employing at the end of this month for Afghanistan. Needless to say it’s emotional. I have such a respect for military families and I work with OP Love, regardless if you qualify for a OP Love session or not, I always provide complimentary sessions for military families when deployment or homecomings are happening.

I met the family in Lanesboro, and immediately felt the bond this family shares, it was such a comfortable session even though the boys were keeping us on our toes (so many fun things to do between the water, throwing rocks and the park!). I felt truly blessed by having the opportunity to photograph and meet this beautiful family, there were a lot of laughs, and a few tears. It was a Great session!

Very Very Proud to announce a partnership with NILMDTS~

I am SO very proud to announce a partnership with NILMDTS. When our first child was born, complications arose that were completely unexpected after a routine pregnancy. Our son was in the NICU for almost 3 weeks, he was one of the lucky ones who left the NICU and came home. While he was in the NICU we met other parents, and unfortunately many of them never got the opportunity to bring their children home. This tore at my heart, and I’ve always wanted a way to give back. NILMDTS is a wonderful organization that is very dear to my heart.
