Good Glorious Day to you!
Today's TIP is not only for children but, for all portraits that you may have taken. It is THE LOVE LETTER. I always try to tell my moms about THE LOVE LETTER.
What I suggest is that you write - in your own handwriting - the story about this portrait. Write down why you had it taken; write down little things that were said or that happened during the session; describe who they are at this time. And most importantly ... write down how much you love your child.
Do not type your letter. Your handwriting is like your very own hug when your child reads this story 25 years from now. Do not worry about perfection. Don't worry about grammar and punctuation. Errors like that are not noticed in a love letter.
Once you've written the letter then you want to put it in an envelope and put htat envelope on the back of the portrait ... so that the two are always together. They say a picture is worth a thousand words ... when your very own, handwritten words, are together with that picture you have given your child a gift that is immensely priceless.
I have an outline of a LOVE LETTER. If you would like to be inspired in order to write your letter just let me know and I can send mine to you.
Be sure to give your family members a hug today and tell each of them that you love them.
Have a magnificent day!
Denise
