If you haven't already checked out her blog...you must!
Seeing how this photo has been a family favorite since our first Christmas as a family of four {in 2008}, I just knew I had to feature it here for this post!
You see this was the first photo I truly ever edited. It was when Lisa (from The Long Road To China) introduced me to flickr (online).
After changing the color photo to B&W and adding the word "love" to it, I felt it was complete! I than had them printed up in 11" x 14" size photos, matted and framed to a size 16" x 20" them to give out as Christmas gifts for that year. Everyone loved them and the photo itself has been featured in a gallery showing back in Pennsylvania during the spring of 2009. To me, this photo is so special because our Annabelle was only home with us for about 2 weeks when this photo was taken. Just looking at this one photo takes me back...I still can't believe the exchange of looks between our two daughters...these two sisters who have only met only a short time ago. This photo still is displayed in our home as a reminder of where we have been and where we were going....
Here is the original that I just had to add. I so think that by changing it to B&W and by adding just that one word...made this photo a family keepsake!
(I figure I throw in a non-Disney photo here seeing how I have a few more post planned of just Disney photos ~ I just can't seem to stop myself!)
