OpLove Reunited

You may remember the post from earlier this week I did for Anita and Jason with oplove.  The images documented Jason’s final days with his family before leaving for Afghanistan.  Well, Yesterday I was invited to document a special homecoming.  Jonathan was returning home from Afghanistan and his wife, Rebecca, asked me to photograph the event. Just witnessing Rebecca’s nervous anticipation as she stared longingly at the airport arrivals door and to witness her joyous run to the gate when Jonathan entered made my heart melt.

Here are the images to document his homecoming.

I loved Rebecca’s sign.

Rebecca nervously waiting in the airport terminal for Jonathan’s flight.

I loved this sequence when Rebecca first saw Jonathon walk through the airport door.

Thank you for inviting me to document Jonathon’s safe return.  And thank you for the sacrifice your family made for our country.

If you are part of  a deploying, depolyed or returning military family then look at Operation: Love Reunited (oplove for short) for details on the program and to find participating photographers.
