A picture speaks a thousand words. It is quite a beautiful expression, and so very true. The love you have for your child is not something easily articulated. But somehow their beauty and love is captured by pictures. Which is why I feel it’s so important to share those pictures with family and friends.

I love posting special events on Facebook or sharing updated albums through Flickr, but, as I’m sure you know by now, my real joy comes from sending something physical. And it’s not just for grandparents that don’t have access to the internet. There is something so much more lasting and personal about receiving a baby photo in the post or getting that first birth announcement. And with the holidays coming up I’ve really got my fingers crossed that my family and friends make it personal this season.

Life is busy and Christmas is the perfect time to take a few minutes to touch base with those you love the most- even if you haven’t caught up all year. It doesn’t matter, because we all understand, especially with the pitter-patter of little feet keeping you extra busy. But when it comes time to send your holiday wishes, take the time to share a family picture with the gang.
