As you know, I like to write about the things that make a house and its people...a HOME.
So... this is the time of year a lot of folks are getting the family pictures done. I recently read an article about how to get the best results. First, you have to pick a color theme. It doesn't have to be one color, more like a color tone selection and then weave everyone and their clothes choice into that. The article also suggested staying away from a lot of fussy prints because the human eye is drawn to that and the rest of the photo effect is lost.
Sounds easy, right? Nope, not even close! There will always be the child, usually about toddler age or a little older , who wants to wear the super hero t-shirt and a pair of pants that in no way color coordinates. You can see the little tears start as you are losing patience, because this has become like a military standoff. This is where you have to ask yourself the honest question- is perfection more important than making a family memory? Personally, I think years from now, looking at that picture of the smiling child you dearly love, in the t-shirt that they dearly love, is worth a whole lot more!
