Family Pictures

My wife asked me the other day about the possibility of getting family pictures taken. I told her to set it all up and let me know what I needed to do. We all dressed up, went to the place, and proceeded to have our family pictures taken. Typically, I do not like pictures of myself, and do not enjoy the whole photo-shoot thing. The neat thing is that our little boy was completely happy, and took some great shots!

When we were finished, then was the time to decide which photos and how many we were going to buy. You can spend a lot of money for a few pictures. You don’t get the rights to use them. I can’t scan, copy, etc. However, we found out that we could purchase the disk with all of them and have all the rights, AND get prints! We did it.

There is such value to preserving your personal history. We spent a little more money, and will now have unlimited access to those priceless pictures of my family. I created  slide show, set it to music, and sent it to mom, dad, mother-in-law, etc. They loved it!

Make sure that you take advantage of opportunities to create your personal legacy. Preserve the important times in your life, and in the lives of your family. Pictures, videos, sound recordings, journals, etc. will help you to remember and share moments that you might otherwise forget some of the details.
