A Note from Heather
Heather and Savannah
Can you believe that just 5 days after going off of bed rest that I would have our sweet baby? I had no idea that I would have the baby that quick. I thought for sure I would end up inducing as that is what happened with my first baby.  I was sititng at the studio thinking how bad my back hurt and how much longer I had before meeting our baby girl. How was I going to make it? I called my doctor's office hoping he could tell me something that I could try to ease the back pain that I was experiencing.  He sent me to Labor and Delivery and said, that I might be in labor. Yes, you guessed right, I was truly in labor!

Savannah was 4 weeks and two days early, so she had a bit of trouble breathing when she came out. Therefore, she spent some time in the NICU. It was so very hard to have her in there.  It was also very traumatic, but no where near as traumatic as the experience that some parents go through with weeks of a hospital stay. A five day stay in the NICU for Savannah seemed like forever to me! 

Savannah is now four weeks & one day old, and she is nestled on my chest in my Hotsling, (thank you Christa for recommending). Currently, I am back at work and the best part is that I get to bring her with me. For the most part, I have recovered really well and I am very blessed and grateful for all the good things in my life.

I absolutely LOVE being a photographer.  I had a ball at Savannah's newborn session. Be sure and check out some of her images in this newsletter. Since coming back to work, we have added two really cool limited editions.  One is the LIttle Mermaid Limited Edition, which my oldest daughter went ga-ga over. Our set for this session, creates an impression of actually being under the sea and it is fabulous! As we are already half full for this session, I KNOW that it will be a SELL OUT, so check your calendar for July 25th. We also added a really beautiful Limited Edition called The Gilded Frame.  This LE is great for a more beautiful, formal portrait.  It would be great for a family, sibilings or individuals and it is on Saturday, August the 8th.

I have been virtually shopping for coordinating family outfits, so you will have to check that out. Also,   we need your input with next year's limited edtion sessions! Do you have an idea that would spark the interest of many? Finally, we have added a new option for the baby b plan clients, be sure and check out the difference between a newborn and a 3 month old baby b session.

Enjoy this last stretch of summer and be blessed!

warmly,

Heather Bookout

What to Wear?  Selections from some of our favorite stores.

Lately,we have a lot of questions about what types of clothes look good together for famly shots.  So I did a little virtual shopping and came up and pulled together several looks.  These are available right now at Old Navy and The Gap.

I love the go anywhere feel of a black and white clothing.  You can get this look at: www.oldnavy.com
The Gap clothes

These tones are more fall and look great hanging in a warm room.  You can get all of these at www.gap.com

The difference of 3 months
Many of our clients are on the Baby B Plan. It used to be if you did a newborn session, you would not  come back till six months for their next session.  I wanted to remind you that you can add a session to your plan at any time for only $39.  So if you want to do a 3 month or 9 month session you can easily add it. Check out Miss Lily this was at her newborn session and then her three month.  She has changed so much!  If this is something you are intersted in adding to your Baby B Plan EMAIL Jen at info@heatherbookoutphotography.com and she will upgrade you or call her at 881-3151.

A Client's Home
Morgan's Display
I love going to my client's homes and seeing how they display my work.  I had the opportunity to visit a great client's home and see her beautiful display.  She loves the look of gallery wraps and has this great display in her hallway.  She said she was inspired by the studio to paint inexpensive frames in bright colors to match her some of her proofs.  I love how she has the proofs and the wall portrait's displayed.  Enjoy!
