This was our first Christmas as a married couple - or rather IS because we still have one family celebration to go - so I wanted to mark the occasion, of course, with some sort of photo. The most obvious choice was to create an ornament and when I saw these adorable customizable snowflake-shaped ones, I knew exactly what was going on our little Japanese cherry blossom LED tree this year.

Ever the photo product junkie, this gave me an idea for how to memorialize each year while simultaneously decorating for the festivities: create a new ornament annually, with our favorite photo of the year or one that best-represents that year so that eventually we'll have built up an entire tree worth of memories documenting our relationship. We've got a good while to go, obviously, but I'm already excited to see how this tree turns out!

I usually run an ornament sale every year so that my clients can enjoy photos on their tree as well - or stock up on Christmas gifts for friends and family - but in the craziness of this year it completely slipped my mind. Keep an eye out for my sale next year!
