NEW BLOG.....already?

I know Im turning into one of those picky and choosy bloggers. Just got this one going and now I need another one. So, we are launching a new blog here in the next week which will have resources for parents and paypal, so we are able to take credit cards direct for batch orders at your school program. SWEET!Thanks for checking in with us. We are getting out there and booking for the Fall, we are trying to only take on about 10 schools in the Fall semester so we can keep up with workflow and attention to detail and parent consulting. Smile.

Who's That?

Thats ME. Aimee Adams, founder and creator of Aimee Adams Picture Day, soon to be Picture Day, trademarked Ready.Set.Smile. I wanted to take the chance to let you see a glimpse of me and the happiness taking pictures of children brings me. Kids relate to me quite easily, as I suspect they know, Im really still a kid at heart...and our Picture Day sessions, in my opinion, are BIG learning experiences, where they not only learn what a photographer is/does but they learn to HAVE FUN and BE KIDS.
Here are some tidbits about yo. :)

Shining Thru (Spring)

We wrapped up Shining Thru Learning Center in Tulsa for Spring and the raves from the parents I received were amazing. My favorite one was "They look like they are straight out of a magazine".
I decided it would be a good idea to post Bloopers after each School Project, so you can see the little hams and get a feel for how much fun the kiddos (and i) have. I think its "therapeutic" for kidlets to able to stick out their tongue at someone and that someone to them is the infamous "dinosaur in the camera". Somewhere down the line, that started to be our punch to get the wee ones to look into the circle, and its caught on. Nevertheless, the Bloopers are a part of our growing history and deserve proper recognition...and i like the word "blooper" so there. :) aimee

Our Mission: Self Esteem

Aimee was a little girl who never liked having per picture taken. Every picture she saw of herself didnt bring out her best features or her smile when she looked in the mirror. Aimee grew up taking pictures of people, pictures that made people smile.. Aimee Adams Picture Day was developed to not only capture the colorful expressions and personalities of children, but to also build awareness of the affects of positive self esteem through photographic record. When children grow hearing positive reinforcement, they are more likely to develop high self esteem. Children are learning to make choices daily, both good and bad. Through progressive parenting in offering choices and reinforcement when good choices are made, children grow to be empowered thru their consequences. Our program believes when a child is told how beautiful and handsome they are, they become more self confident and in turn may make better choices. Ready, set, smile is a cause based for profit business offered to select school programs. Aimee Adams believes in children receiving proper developmental instruction AND positive reinforcement thru the permanent modeling available in photographic record. Ready, set, smile is offered as a Fundraising option for Contracted schools as well to reinforce this mission.

Mothers Day and Summer Bookings

We are currently booking Mothers Day specials for the months of March and April for prints and packages that will be ready in May. We have a few schools that are wanting Summer sittings with the kids as their initial trial with Picture Day and we are SO excited with all the fun possibilites! We know once you give us a try, you will want to stray away from the 'dated' backdrops and picture styles out there, and move toward pictures of 100% organic REAL kids!!Please email Aimee for more details and available dates to book your program today.
