Anybody out there able and want to help a military family. I received the following message today:
"Hello! I am not a photographer, but I'm coming to you for help!
My husband is coming home from a 6 month deployment this
Wednesday (July 13 between 8-9:45 am at Mayport). I had a
photographer booked through Operation Love Reunited, which is
an organization in which local photographers volunteer to shoot
military homecomings at no cost. Unfortunately our photographer
had to cancel last minute due to a work commitment that popped
up and it's too late to book another one. I'm hoping to find a
local photographer (or hobby photographer) who would be
interested in shooting the homecoming for our family at low or
no cost. We have a 2 year old boy and a 6 month old baby girl
and was really looking forward to capturing the reunion with
their daddy all decked out in their patriotic outfits. :) I'm
hoping that someone will be willing to shoot it for us in order
to build up their portfolio. Do you know of anyone in your
group who would be interested, or another website that I can
look to?
I really appreciate any help you can provide!"
If you are able and willing to help this family out please let me know with the best way to contact to you and I will pass it along to them (I am also getting contact information from them to pass back).
Anyway, a great opportunity to help a local military family and perhaps build the portfolio a little.
