Pick the room where your family already spends time, so the photos show the home you really live in.
Clear the floor, keep the life
Move the laundry and the shoes, then stop. Leave the books, the drawings on the fridge and the blanket on the sofa. Those details are what you will want to see in ten years.
Open every curtain
Daylight from a window is the best light in the house. Turn off the ceiling lights and open the curtains wide. If one room gets the sun in the morning, we can start there.
Plan one thing to do together
Bake something, read a book or build a fort. A simple activity gives everyone something to do with their hands, and the photos stop looking posed.
