Picture perfect

Last year, I was smart enough to book a photo session with Annie Pennington Photography before we left Germany. That photo session was no doubt the best money we have ever spent on having our picture made.

Since we purchased the photo session CD, the only picture we ordered for us was a family portrait. We just ordered the enlarged picture since we were thinking it would be really easy to have it framed once we got to the States. Easy, yes. But also expensive. So we waited.

Plus, once we decided to move into this house, the living/family room area has big windows on every wall, so picture space is limited. Therefore, our family portrait sat in our bedroom closet until a couple of weeks ago, when Michaels offered 60% off custom framing. Woohoo! Time to get framed!

I took it and debated on just a frame versus frame and matting. Holy hand grenades! Framing is expensive. But we picked it up on Saturday.I can't imagine that matting could have added a single thing to this picture. It turned out just completely amazing and has actually changed the look of our living room. Didn't see that coming, but I sure am glad it happened. So here is the digital version from the CD, because the picture of the framed picture doesn't do it justice. I'm loving the result! Thanks a billion Annie. We are still in awe of your talent.
