FPT | Make a Sandwich
This week’s Friday Photo Tip is about how to get a photo of your kids with more connection, more joy, real smiles, and that is just plain ‘ole less boring than standing together and smiling. I call it — make a sandwich! Choose someone to be the center, the peanut butter (or pb and jelly if you have more than three kids like me!) and have the others sandwich around as the bread.
The key is to get really close. There should be some squishing! And if you're thinking, I only have two kids, there’s no peanut butter for our sandwich — you can absolutely do this with just two people. It just becomes a hug with cheeks touching that usually turns into looking at each other and laughing. You can ask them to give a gently hug or a quick tickle and watch the laughter (and REAL smiles) shine through!
