Looking for volunteers

*****UPDATE: I will also be in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. The East Texas sessions will be done Sunday through Monday or Tuesday, and the DWF sessions will be Tuesday through Wednesday or Thursday. Please call me if you're interested! (832) 439-2679 *****

There are people and events that should be honored and never forgotten.

This is the thought that spurred a special project that I've taken on for myself. I'm looking to photograph veterans that served in World War II as a tribute and a honor to them. For a little bit of their time, I would like to do a photo session and listen to any stories they have to share. In the end, I would like to provide them with some prints from the session.

I'm specifically looking for anyone in the Marshall, Linden, Hughes Springs, and anywhere in between. I'll be in the area between June 28 and June 30 and I would love to know if you have a special person in mind for this session.

I'm not selling anything and I'm not asking for anything other than an hour or two. I will only be taking a limited number of sessions as part of this initial project, but I will still be available to do this kind of session in the future for a special session fee. So if you have a grandfather, or a great-uncle or friend, etc. that wouldn't mind volunteering, please contact me and we can discuss the details. Call me at (832) 439-2679 or email me at dianna (@) karellephotography.com

The images below were taken of Col. James Johnson Jr., (Ret.) in San Antonio this past May. He was a pilot in the Air Force during the war and we used a few of the photographs and framed drawings that he has hanging in his home as well as a picture taken on their wedding day.
