Nothing can take away the pain and anxiety of having a loved one deployed overseas — but for Karen Tebbeharris and her three children, a program called Operation: Love Reunited helped them get through it.
The program, nicknamed OpLove, involves a network of photographers all across the country who offer free sessions to families with loved ones scheduled for deployment.
Families are typically photographed once before deployment, and again as soon as their loved one returns home. For a service member already overseas, OpLove offers sessions for their family members at home; an album with the finished photos is sent to their stations abroad
