Every autumn, we take photos in front of
a sweet maple tree outside our home
as the leaves change colors.

I highly recommend doing an annual photo shoot like this with your family. Pick a location or landmark you can easily get back to year after year. It doesn't need to be fancy, just something that calls to you. Pick a time of year that makes sense for you, and take a photo each year to see how your family (and maybe a tree!) grows. It's so fun to watch the changes happening against a steady backdrop.

Even if you've missed a few years (or a lot!), it's not too late to get started, and it's fine to keep going if you skip a year. Eventually, the annual photos will pile up, and it will be so fun to stroll down memory lane. Enjoy!
