Challenge: Create YOUR Own Couple Collection!

I am so glad we did this crazy blog-a-couple-photo-thon. There are almost 500 pictures in our couple folder now. Not all of them are stunning. Some are super-duds, both of our eyes crossed, not on purpose, extra neck folds looking unflattering...Just from the number of photos we took and the consistency, statistically we were bound to have some winners! (my face in this one-I like my hair here and chin looks better, but you can't see John well)
(and THIS ONE of John! Adorable! Can't keep my hands off of him!)
(same photo as last one, just cropped differently. I have learned a lot this year about picture presentation.)

Most common problem: one of us will look great in one photo, and the other will look more natural/real in another one. Must learn how to merge images. Cut and paste?

If you have liked seeing us every day, I challenge you, TODAY, or over the holidays, to start taking a couple photo every day. Even if you have crazy opposite hours. Even if your hair isn't perfect and you are make-up-less. Get close to your significant other and take more pictures! Just for fun. It can be a before-the-year-ends resolution! Don't wait for January! Do it today! Every day of December! And tell me what you learn from doing it.

I've loved all the photos of you two. Your challenge sounds like fun - the key word here being CHALLENGE as my husband does NOT like it when I try to take pictures of him. However if I am in it too maybe he will participate - maybe. I think I would be lucky to get ONE good photo of the two of us. ;)

It was great to see you yesterday and I hope to see you again before you head back home!

Our pictures together has been one of dozens of wonderful, unifying, loving habits you've introduced into our marriage. I haven't regretted a single one.

I miss you. :)
