Would this be a good present for my mum?

Question

Okay, it's my mum's birthday on the 13th September and I thought for her present I could get my Dad to take a nice photo of me and my sisters in the garden (he has a really good camera) then take it to the printers and get it printed off in a size like 10x12 inches and put it into a really nice mounted frame. Would this be okay? Also, would the photo be better in colour or black and white if I did do this?

Answer 1

you really have a nice idea for a gift for your mother, im sure ur mom's gonna love it. black and white is really good. but you can also try having it made like a puzzle or mosaic. some photo studios do it, you know, something new and different for that special person.

Answer 2

Yes great idea. If your dad can put it on the computer you can choose which looks best. I personally would like colour.

Print a little label for the back, putting date, ages etc.

Lovely keepsake I´m sure your mum  will treasure. You may all want a copy to keep too for your old age!!

Answer 3

Wonderful idea, classic gift, any mum would love it. As long as it is a half decent camera and make sure that the lighting is good in the garden. Apart from that go for it! She will be very pleased!

I think the photo would be much better in colour because colour generally shows happiness, and there is nothing more than for a mother to see their wonderful happy family presented in a picture.

This gift is an excellent idea, she will love it.

Good luck x

Answer 4

That's a really nice thought, get it in B&W though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 5

What a lovely idea.  I would love this for myself.  I would prefer lots of colour.  And maybe some flowers or shrubs in it.

  

Answer 6

That is a brilliant idea!! as a mum myself I would love it as a present my personal preference would be for sepia ( not quite black and white more browny tones like old fashioned pictures) everyone just looks so much better in the picture.

Answer 7

Very nice!

Answer 8

i think its a gr8 idea! i think u should do it in black in white to give it a gd effect!

im sure she will luv it!

:D

Answer 9

Sounds great. Either B&W or colour would look good. If your garden has a lot of colour, it might be more eye-catching in colour.  

Answer 10

I think black and white would be best. Sounds like a great birthday present, maybe a lil something to go with it, such as some chocolates, and a handmade card saying how much you love her and how important she is in your life. Mothers never get tired of hearing that. I am a mother of 8 and can vouch for that! Happy birthday to you mum also for the 13th!

Answer 11

That's a great idea. As an artistic print it would look better in black and white, but because it's a personal present for your mum I think you should get it printed in colour. She can then have a lovely photo reminder of you all for years, and be able to see all the nice colours of your clothes, hair, the garden, etc.

Answer 12

yeah,

that's what i do every year for my mum and she loves it!

i'd go for sepia personally because it looks more homey

but that'sis just my opinion

good luck! xx
