Pictures of the both of you.

The one thing I think all couples should do is get their picture taken together. I don't mean to go out and get a setting down with a professional photographer. I am talking about pictures of the two of you doing the thing in life that are fun to you. Vacations, cookouts, or just when you are being silly hand your camera over to someone and ask them to take your picture. These are the pictures you want to hang up around your house. These pictures so love and affection for each other and give you that feel good feeling you need as you glance at them. Plus viewing them makes you want to go out and have more fun together. Document your relationship and start taking pictures today.

Keep your camera handy at all times.

Romance happens when you least expect it sometimes. You can be out just driving around and romance could hit you. Make it a habit of carrying a small camera with you at all times it doesn't have to be an expensive one and it can be small to easily be carried around. This way when that unexpected romantic event happens you can document it to share over and over. Romance has a way of creeping into your life and if you have your camera ready well then it is preserved forever. Maybe you will be out riding your bikes and come across a wonderful romantic place near a stream or you have a flat tire and you both get really dirty changing it, these are memories that you won't forget but a photo would help share it with others. You might start to find this addictive and making a scrapbook of romance might not be a bad idea. Happy shooting.

Get pictures of the two of you!

One thing I notice when I go to other peoples houses is how few pictures they have of them as a couples. If they have kids you see many pictures of the kids on the wall and several of one partner with the children but if you do see a couples photo it is usually a professional one. Were are the pictures of the couple enjoying vacation together or just hugging on the couch. I suggest you start focusing on ways to get pictures together weather you ask strangers to take your pictures or teach your children to use the camera. With digital cameras now a days you can let the kids practice and then erase all the ones that are of your feet or just the top of your heads. Once you get the pictures you want then start posting them around your house as a reminder of how fun and important your relationship is.

Can driving home from vacation be romantic?

We have covered a couple of times how romantic drives can be, however this one is a little different. The drive home from vacation is usually filled with sleeping and worn out company. You desire is to get home and not to be living out of your car anymore for a while. How can we make this romantic? Well by talking about the adventures you just had. Start recounting all the things you did and the ones that you remember the most. Ask each family member what was their favorite part of vacation and what was their worst. Getting the conversation flowing will help pass the time on your boring drive home. Not to mention have you partner laughing and poking fun at the things you did while on vacation. Get your digital camera out and have the passengers check out the photos of your trip and talk about what they are seeing. Just make sure the driver keeps his/her eyes on the road.

Update you pictures.

You know some people out there are very good at taking pictures all the time. Most all of us have a newer digital camera, that lets us delete any unwanted photo right away. We have no excuse for not getting new pictures all the time. When is the last time you took a picture of your sweet heart just to put in your billfold or to replace the one on your desk? Look around your house are the pictures hanging on the wall out dated? If you have a hair style you are embarrassed about then you need to take some new pictures to put up. It is so easy now a days you can print them out yourself by picking up some photo quality paper or you can upload them to a company like Kodak and have nice quality prints sent right to your door. Set up a theme for you pictures maybe take some on vacation every time to put up each year. We take pictures of our family eating and put them up around the very top of our kitchen. You could do any number of themes depending on your family and what room you are putting them up in. Don't let anyone be camera shy and make sure you get equal numbers of pictures of everyone. It isn't very fair if you can go into someones house and tell by the pictures who always is behind the camera. Don't just put up perfect pictures either. Use some of the silly and wacky ones you take it adds a lot more character and conversation to your house. Now if you don't have one go out and pick up a new digital camera and start taking pictures of everything you can think of.

Featured in the picture is the Nikon D40 SLR Camera, which I feel is a great camera.

Girls on Film (Boys too)

Do you think your partner is beautiful? I would venture to say most of you do. So make her feel beautiful as her if you can take some pictures of her/him. Today's cameras being digital make it easy to take lots of pictures. You don't have to send them out to get them developed and you can print them out on your standard computer, or you can download them to digital devices. You can store your pictures on your computer, phone, ipod, or another device with storage capability.

Now you have no excuses go out and take as many pictures of your partner as you camera will hold. Then let them help you pick out the best ones. Believe me this is a great idea because you don't want a picture of your partner on you phone and it be one that they think is ugly. Have them do a little posing, get a little silly, pictures with people laughing are always better then trying smile on your own.

Since your pictures are digital and no one else will see them. You can even take some pictures that are a little more provocative if you both are willing. The point being you can take some great pictures of you partner to use as keep sakes for the long haul. If you have a tripod and a timer on your camera you can even take pictures of the two of you together. Those are always nice to have around. So get to clicking.
