A Note from Heather
Heather Bookout
I have been on bed rest for the past 3 weeks for pre-term labor and it has been a very creative productive time for me.  I am one of those people when life brings you lemons you make lemonade!  :)  I have 3 1/2 more weeks to go on bed rest and I am excited to see what else I can come up with.  Ben has been working steadily on preparing the house for our newest arrival and it is exciting to see it come all together.

One of things I have been doing (since I can't shoot right now) is editing all the amazing images that Amy (my co-worker) is taking.  She has taken all the images featured on this newsletter!  I am so glad to have her as part of my team.  She is wonderful.

I am working on a really big project that I can't wait to reveal to you guys.  It is something that I have wanted to do for several years now, but never quite had the time.  It is very exciting.  Be looking for news on this towards the end of the summer.

I am so honored to be a part of your lives and I am thankful for my job every day!

warmly,

Heather Bookout

Limited Editions
Beautiful Heavenly Angel Image
We are having so much fun with the Limited Editions!  This image is from our recent Heavenly Angel Limited Edition. Remember these $35 sessions are themed and limited because they are only available ONE day out of the entire year.

I wanted to share with you some details on the next few Limited Editions.
ICE CREAM & BUBBLE GUM - June 6th:  This set is fun and bright, with a orange and white couch with polka dotted lime green background.  We will be providing waffle cones with vanilla Ice Cream and Sprinkles and if your little one is old enough - bubble gum.  

LITTLE BALLERINAS - July 11th:  This set is going to be beautiful and stunning with a rich textured chocolate background with rubbed bronze.  We have all the tutus you will need or you can bring your own.  

LITTLE MEN - July 25th:  This is will be neutral so no matter what your little guy wants to dress up like it will look amazing.  Some great ideas would be doctors, train engineers, fireman, police man or anything else your little man dreams of being.

FRESH LEMONADE - August 22nd:  This set will be all white and with Lemon accents.  It will be timeless and beautiful.  We recommend dressing your children all in white for this fresh Limited Edition.



A Photography Tip for Moms
I would like to feature a tip on each newsletter to help you capture your own children better.  As moms we have high expectations from our children. When I photograph my 6 year old I remind myself to think like a child photographer and not her mom.  

Child photographers are fun, engaging and warm.  Moms when photographing their children are demanding, frustrated and boring.  So put aside your expectations and really connect with them in a fun, silly way.  Play a game like catch or who can make the silliest face.

The worst thing you can do is to tell your child to say cheese or to sit still.  Because saying cheese produces a very cheesy smile.  Don't tell your children to say something let your child come up with it on his own.  You could ask them to come up with the silliest word they can think of.  You are bound to get some crazy giggles and it becomes pleasurable for both of you!
