"7 Ages of Childhood"

In February we launched our new portrait concept "7 Ages of childhood"
We've had a lot of fun!

Due to popularity we are extending the complimentary offer through April!

To make it even easier-
Bring your children aged 0-16 in April (or the rest of March).
Tuesday - Friday 10am-5pm

Feel free to bring ALL your children the same day!
You'll receive a complimentary 6"x8" of each child.
(We'll do a portrait of the whole group too!)

Now for suggested donation...
Every year Special Olympics of Washington
holds their Summer games at Fort Lewis.
Brian, our associate photographer, helps run the
"Field of Fun" where Special Olympic athletes

Your toys, trinkets and novelties!

Please bring your gently used or new
toys, trinkets and novelties as a donation.

CLOTHING SUGGESTIONS FOR A CLASSIC PORTRAIT
Babies and toddlers show up better if not over powered by too much clothing.
Bare feet are especially appealing. For infants bring a special blanket.

We recommend a classic look for young children- usually better than play clothes with logos.

Older ones can show their unique personalities with their favorite clothing
and maybe an item that represents their interest.

Be sure to bring options!

NEW for 2009
7 AGES OF CHILDHOOD!

A GUIDE TO PLANNING YOUR CHILD'S PORTRAIT HISTORY.

Over the years many of our clients have asked
"What are the best ages to photograph our children?"
or "How often should we photograph our children?"

Finally, based on extensive research by the
Professional Photographers of America
we've created a structured plan to help parents
recognize the most important times to have their
children photographed.

These "7 ages of childhood" times mark
the most significant changes along the
path from infancy to young adulthood.

To launch our newest portrait concept-
we are offering a children's studio session
PLUS a 6"x8" portrait!
One age group per week for 7 weeks.
Tuesdays 9am - 3pm & Wednesdays 10am - 5pm

CALL TO BOOK THE DATE FOR YOUR CHILD'S AGE.

CHARITY DRIVE
for Children's Home Society of Washington

We have been grateful for our involvement in the Seattle Street of Dreams for the last
several shows. Our association with them has inspired our admiration and we were
honored to be a part of their work for Children's Home Society of Washington

Since there's no Street of Dreams show this year we'd like to make our own
contribution to the Children's Home Society.

There are two ways you can help!

One- During our "Children's Day" open house we will have a frame clearance sale.
100% of the proceeds will be donated to the Children's Home Society.

Two- Everyone who donates $100 to the Children's Home Society will receive a
portrait gift certificate from HILLING DESIGN fine portraiture worth $350!

We look forward to seeing you!
