UPDATE: SEE ALL FAMILY PHOTOS HERE!
While Isabelle is enjoying Paris this weekend me and my family are at our home in Skåne, Sweden. It has started to get a lot chillier and I really like it. We started this morning with a family photo out in the field next to our house. And that is my weekend tip for you all: Go out and take a photo of yourself with your family. The group photo is really underestimated I think. And it does NOT have to look like the ordinary family photo that you take at the local photography studio. No, no. Make it more fun. Use your cellphone, a photo booth or your camera on a tripod (like we did). And go to a place that makes you feel good. Put on your favorite dress or lipstick if that makes you feel nice about yourself. It does not take long and seriously: how many pictures do you have of the whole family together? Not many I bet!
(If you’re not with family this weekend consider it your self-portrait challenge).
Go for it and if you do I would love to see the results. Just email me!
Isabelle McAllister is a well known decorator/DIY-er and designer. Jenny Brandt works as a photographer with a special sense of style and has her own web shop - Sammy Rose. Both are Swedes. READ MORE INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THEM HERE!

WHERE did that pretty, bright couch come from that you’re sitting on in the photo?
Sunny: That sounds great! The sofa used to be my grandfathers. We love it. It is a fold-out bed. Viola uses it a lot when she is playing house. She uses it as a building blocks to. here it is again http://dosfamily.com/?p=1073
