I got the idea for the perfect (and relatively inexpensive) Christmas gift over the weekend!
I was "picnicking" in my truck with a quarter pounder and fries at a nearby park that has a beautiful stone bridge, fish pond, a pair of swans, and a wandering flock of Canadian geese over the weekend- when I spied two different photographers walking around the park snapping photos of couples amongst the colorful Fall foliage. I presumed he was taking pics for a wedding announcement or some such, since both the couples were young and appeared to be ga-ga and oh-so in love!
Well, this got me to thinking...
Long story- short... I got my Dad and his wife, and my sister and her family to the same park next day. We played around for a couple hours and I got MANY great shots!
For Christmas this year- I will give several loose black and white prints to them- plus one enlarged print (11X14) in a lovely frame to all for gifts this year. Found the frames already at "Gordman's" and "Hobby Lobby". E-mailed chosen pictures to Yorkphoto.com and they'll be shipped back to me on studio-quality matte paper within 10 days!

That's such a great idea! I'm sure everyone will love it.

When Jon's Mom left his Dad she took all of the family pics. So a few years ago I borrowed them from her and made copies of all of them for Jons Dad and I used my photo editing programs to take her out of all of them lol.
