Enjoy the moment, take photos later!

I recently read another person's blog and I absolutely love one of her statements: 
Resist the Urge to Pick up Your Camera First.

In this modern age we all want to take a photo, show it off to the world, snap a selfie and then just move on to the next exciting thing. Why do we do this?!  Social media has created monsters out of all of us, and yes I will be the first to admit that I am a photoaholic and document EVERYTHING that happens in my, my family and my son's life!!!!  I want those memories preserved so we can look back on them and relive those awesome (or sometimes not-so-awesome) moments and memories! And we all want to share those moments with the world, because - seriously - what is life without Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and messaging?!?!  😆  j/k

Well it's official, in 3 days my husband & I will have survived the first 2 years of our son's life!  He's going to be TWO....whaaaat?!?!  And let me tell you, it's not always picnics and fairytales in this house!!! 😉  Oh no, it's been a loooong two years, but sooo much fun has been had and I wouldn't change it for the world.

What size print looks best?

As I prepare for reveal sessions with clients, I pre-design wall art galleries that they may be interested in. It's always nice to see how your photos look on a wall with other photos and what sizes they look best in!

What's interesting though is how just an individual photo looks on a wall. A small piece of wall art may cost less but unless you're a foot away from it, it looks quite unproportionate on a big, bare wall. So, if you're going to order just one amazing photo, GO BIG!!! 😀

This past weekend I had out-of-state family stop in for a lovely visit, my parents stayed over one night and my sister and nephews came for a visit. We sure packed a lot into one weekend!!!  But it was awesome to see everyone & get so much good visiting time in.  

So, after my sister arrived we intended on going to the Children's Museum but it was already closed when we got there. So instead we headed to the playplace in the mall. WOW - sooo many kids were there, it was insane! 

Are we crazy for wanting to put our toddlers in neon colored shirts the next time we go anywhere?!  haha
