So imagine this: a Parisian restaurant in a make-believe 1940s.
A Marine enters and sees a beautiful girl delicately sipping her coffee in front of a window. A ray of sunlight shines on her black hair and lights up the flower by her ear. He is captivated by her. She looks up; their eyes meet. And voila! Romance.
Ok, so Daniel Steele I am not, and we were actually shooting in a cafe in Pearland. But the romance? No, I didn’t make that up.

Seriously, don’t they just put a goofy smile on your face? Helen and Matt still have that newlywed glow, even though they’ve been married some time.
We switched it up a little and headed to a patch of green nearby. It was very windy, but thanks to Laurie Perez for donating her time to be my super cool, voice operated boom arm and stand holder for the day; we got some amazing shots in the field.
Their album just came in, and I’m excited to be sending it to Matt in his duty station in the Pacific. Being a part of Operation: Love Reunited lets me meet families like Helen and Matt, and help them stay connected during their long separations by donating my time, talent, and a beautiful album that they can treasure for years to come.
PS. Matt went to Japan a few days after their session with me. Thankfully, he is ok and was not very much affected by the natural disaster in the area. Let us pray for the well being of other people as well. A couple of nights ago, the news said that the effect was felt as far as Hawaii and it was suffering from terrible flooding.
