Hi Guys,
I want to make sure everyone knows of this great group!
OpLove serves family who have a loved one deploying. As a photog all you do is offer them a free family session (pre-deployment) and send the Service member a print album of their session once they are deployed. You can offer additional prints for the family to purchase but they have no further obligation.
I am getting a lot of inquiries for Homecoming sessions. This is more PJ in nature--you show up, capture the homecoming of the troops with their loved ones. You then give the family a CD of the images.
This is a wonderful way to give back to our community. I'm putting this out on this forum to try and get more folks to sign up! I can only do 1-2 shoots per month and the Homecoming sessions are very hard to promise since we don't know the exact date/time of the Homecoming until a few days before it happens. Currently in the 50 mile radius of me there are only 9 photogs registered. I am having to turn families away because I just don't have the time to do it all!
