Disclaimer :: a ‘picture of a picture’ is never as great as the real thing (of course we all can agree on that!) but … there is also nothing like seeing what everyone else is in love with, right? 
With Karla’s family we almost always focus on a metallic finish. It’s what they love & the colors for this session (a mix of brights with lovely fall foliage) make it a knock-out combo. The metallic literally sparkles.
While they always get a few gift sized prints of the boys, their main focus is to go big for the walls with multiple 10x20s, 16x24s and an 11×14 for the long table that sits in the foyer.
It is a lot of fun to package these up. I didn’t picture everything here (hoping that we can convince Karla to snap a few quick photos of everything hanging around her house, what do you think?), but just a small sample to give you an idea of what they loved & what they decided on.
And I have to poke a little fun at Lars. Actually, I think his shoes are very cool (& very him). We just laughed when he arrived to our shoot, he had just come from practice. Dad called him & said, “& make sure you bring a nice pair of shoes” – thinking it was obvious, right? Find something besides your grungy practice gear. Lars showed up with his dress shoes (like, shirt & tie dress shoes) & these colorful little creations. We went with those. 
Karla is also a huge fan of these little leather books – perfect for gifting to grandparents, keeping for yourself & carrying around in your purse or bag. I love that they’ve become a staple for their memories of our sessions together.
So … what do you guys think? Want to see more?
