This one is for my husband. Happy Father’s Day Jesse – you are an amazing father and a wonderful husband. Thank you for parenting these three beautiful girls with me!

Summer is sitting beneath the portrait of our girls that I gave Jesse for Father’s Day this morning (click the slide show link below to see a better view of the actual image).

A last minute call to the framers regarding a portrait of the girls on our bed may be a developing theme for Father’s Day. You may recall this image from two years ago, which was even more last minute than this one. This time I managed to take the photo a week in advance – but it was still a mad dash to the framer.

For those that are interested this is a 12″x18″ print I have framed, which is not a bad size for a wall print, and works really well over a mantle, but as you can see it really is a bit small for over a bed. It’s really worth thinking about the size of the wall and the furniture a portrait will hang over and choosing the right size print. In time I think I will put is side by side with the print from two years ago, but for now this was the easiest place to get it straight onto the wall. If this was the final resting place for this print I would have chosen a 20″x30″ print, matted up to approximately 30″x40″ once framed, or a 30″x40″ canvas.
