A couple of weeks ago Joel and I ventured out to take photos of our boys. We really should have done family pictures, but I had been sick the whole week before, and I figured it would be better to get pictures of them than no pictures at all.
We headed out of town to some fields and gravels roads. I decided I didn't want to go the old building/colored brick route for a location, it just didn't seem to fit my boys as well.
Thanks to Joel being the entertainment (the no potty talk rule goes out the door when you need kids to smile for a picture), Wyatt and Weston both did really well and I was surprised at how many good shots we came out with.
When I received this canvas in the mail from Easy Canvas, I was so glad we took the time to do pictures. It's always worth it in the end, isn't it?
I was thrilled to see the quality of the colors on the canvas. I've ordered canvas' from other companies before and received them with color distortion, which can be disappointing.
One thing I liked about the ordering process from Easy Canvas is that you have the ability to move the photo around to adjust the area that will be cropped or wrapped around the edge of the canvas, which some companies don't offer. It was really nice to have that option, as I was able to position my photo perfectly on the canvas.

I have a fantastic picture of my car that I'd love to have on a canvas. Yes, I know I could always look out the window at the real deal but I'm really proud of the photo I took. And it's a Mini so it's cute enough that I want to see it all the time.

i would love a picture that i have of my daughter holding our son for the first time. she loves being big sister and it would look good in her room!
Maybe a bridal pic of my daughter.
I have so many photos I'd love to do this too. If I have to settle on one I'd pick our wedding picture, but I'm going to be giving birth in April so maybe I'll have to wait and see!
