The Bookout Family

Friday, December 7, 2012

I had an unbelievably good time working with Juliegh, Eric and their three incredible children: Jackson, Owen and Piper (cutest name ever for a little girl.) This family is FUN. It was a cold, dreary November day, but these guys didn’t seem to care. They laughed, joked and played the whole time. It was truly an honor to step into their world for a few hours and document their relationships. Juliegh and Eric: Thank you so much for choosing me! I had such a great time working with all of you and hope to have many more opportunities in the years to come to see your kids grow and change! I have a zillion favorites from your session. Below are just a few highlights. Enjoy!!

Juliegh - We absolutely LOVE our pictures and have received so many compliments on all of them. Jennifer made a family photo shoot painless, and trust me, we have had plenty of painful ones in the past. We could not be happier!

Ashley and Jeff - Jennifer,
We are truly grateful that we can always count on you to capture the special moments of our growing family. Your photos not only take me back to that time and place but they remind me of how blessed we are to have the family we do.
I look forward to many years of interchanging your pictures for newer ones and you can add interior decorator to your line of work:)
On behalf of my family, and our extended family that benefit from your work.. Thank you!
Lets start planning for spring!

Lindsay & Neil

It was an absolutely perfect, sunny day for Lindsay and Neil’s wedding. We had so much fun shooting in gorgeous locations around Oxford, Michigan. Highlights of the day included: Lindsay looking amazingly beautiful in a tulle wedding gown, the pretty bridesmaids’ gowns and necklaces, the Renee Zellweger bridesmaid look-alike, the really cool tunnel with the groomsmen at Boulder Point Golf Club, the first look at a stunning private residence in the country, the heartfelt speeches and most of all, the true love and respect between the bride and groom. Lindsay and Neil: Thank you so much for inviting us to be a part of your special day. We love your photos and can’t wait for you to see them!
