Using books as a props in your photo can tell a story in itself! I have always been an avid reader as well as my girls when they were growing up. Being an educator, I would never deny my kids (and now grand kids) a book. This love of reading has spilled over into my photography as well. I often encourage a client to bring a special book to use in the session, or I will bring one myself. I love the fact that the soon to be mom is reading "Guess How Much I Love You" to her baby even before it is born.
Spring in Texas brings out bluebonnet time so why not take a picture of a cute little one holding "The Legend of the Bluebonnets" standing in bluebonnets!!! The "Green Eggs and Ham" picture has special meaning to me. The sweet newborn is my great niece. The person holding the book is her grandpa, my brother. This book has special meaning to my brother because it was his favorite book growing up. He had my mother read it to him so many times that he has actually memorized it. Even now, at any time you even say the words "Green Eggs and Ham", he will start reciting the book from start to finish. Next time you have your pictures taken, don't forget to include a book, or two. Why not?!?
