I don't buy a lot of souvenirs when we travel.
My husband is too cheap to let me shop at will,
and I've gotten tired of lugging it home.
But one thing I always snag
is a kissing picture.
My sisters are so over them,
but I can't help it.
I was inspired by a picture on our honeymoon
and then a few months later,
lucked out with having this moment snapped
on our first trip to Italy
feeding the birds in St. Mark's Square in Venice.
Venice, Italy 2007 |
Almost six years later,
and it's my favorite picture.
Here are some others that I think are pretty great.
Stonehenge 2011 |
Gimmelwald, Switzerland 2012 |
Lanzarote, Canary Islands 2010 |
Neuschwanstein Castle, Germany 2012 |
Olympia, Greece 2011 |
I might have to do another round of these soon.
I have quite the archive of these silly moments.
{It's easy to tell which ones are iPhone & which ones aren't, isn't it?}

one day youre really gonna look back and be SO HAPPY that you took these photos.... theyre beautiful and such a fun little tradition:)
ReplyDeleteSuch an awesome idea! You should make a book of them for you guys (or your babies) to enjoy down the road :)
ReplyDeleteSo so sweet!
ReplyDeleteSilly question - but you guys travel with an tripod or to you stop a stranger to take your photo?
Well, I normally try and prop it up somewhere with self-timer... or ask a stranger. The best are self-timers or when my family is there and I don't feel self-conscious to ask them to re-take it, if it's bad. ;)
Deletesuch a cute idea!!
ReplyDeleteoh i love this idea! totally stealing it (;
ReplyDeleteand yes, please post more!!
Squeal! You guys are adorable! My man doesn't do kissy pictures. It makes me so sad. Ps... I'm not going to make jokes about replacing Tyler in this post.
ReplyDeleteLove this tradition!
ReplyDeleteaaaaaand now you're pregnant. coincidence? I think not.
ReplyDeletelove that one in the canary islands! i am deathly afraid of pigeons, so that first one might be a bit of an issue for me but props to you! :) :)
ReplyDeleteGooooooosh I love you guys. Is that normal?
ReplyDeleteThese are precious! They would make a great wall art collection. And, I second Lauren's question - do you use a timer/tripod, or get friendly people to photograph your macking? ;)
ReplyDeleteAlso, I need to know where you got that headwrap you were wearing in the Stonehenge photo. I look terrible in hats, so I need something else and that fits the bill!
ReplyDeleteIt's from H&M (of course!) and I got it last year. It's a lifesaver for dirty hair. :)
DeleteAnd I typically try to set it up on something with self-timer or ask an unsuspecting by-stander. :) Obviously, Tyler loves it. ha!
Ah so romantic!!
ReplyDeleteTotally in love with these lovie pictures! You're never too old to show love for your main squeeze :)

I can't wait to see what the twins say when they see these.
ReplyDeletepve
I'm so going to start copying you on this! They are adorable and your love for each other just radiates! Thanks for sharing such sweet and intimate moments. You will be so glad you took these down the road!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Sarah
Do you think anyone would notice if we just switched places? Seriously, that Switzerland pic is amazing!
ReplyDeletetoo cute! that pigeon picture is hilarious and adorable!
ReplyDeleteWho cares if the photos were taken with a camera or iPhone?! These are precious moments. I love this idea! Also, I'm so jealous you've seen Neuschwanstein Castle! My husband has been wanting to go there for years!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute idea!
ReplyDelete(Although I would have totally freaked out with the birds - I'm terrified and disgusted by them!)
I think these are such a cute tradition and o my goddness, congrats on the twins!! (I am slow to getting through my reader these days.)
ReplyDeleteBest post ever!!!!! xo
ReplyDeleteAdore this idea, great photos!
ReplyDeleteMuch better than a cheesy souvenir!
ReplyDeleteYou should never stop with the kissing photos, it is so romantic! The one with the pigeons is just amazing!
ReplyDeleteummm love.
ReplyDeleteive said it once, and ill say it again, you have SUCH a good profile. Basically what im saying is you look extra hot in these kissing pictures. i'm a fan.
ReplyDeleteDear Kennedy,
ReplyDeleteI do not make a point of taking these photos...but I will from here on out! What a fantastic idea! I would never get tired of enjoying those photos. You two are adorable too! Esther Norine Designs
Love these photos and that you guys have this tradition! Much better then bought souvenirs. We clearly don't travel as much as you, but try to buy something to bring back for our home from each place we go. Sometimes if its just a US place its a magnet (we're classy that way) but other times its a piece of "art" (not actual fancy art) or a something small for the bookcase.
ReplyDeleteOf course we go on an international trip like once every two years, so that's a bit different :)
This is beyond adorable. Is it weird that I want to see more?
ReplyDeleteI hope not... because I'm planning on posting some in the near future!! ;)
DeleteMy gosh you are about my favorite person in blogland right now. I can't believe you really exist in real life.
ReplyDeleteI think this is so so cute :)
ReplyDeleteI think you could inspire a movement...and you absolutely have the makings of a book. :)
ReplyDeleteOh....did I tell you the dates we'll be in London? June 6-13th! I know it's a long way off, but I hope you will be there and that I could see your cute face in person!
Will email you more separately!
xoxo Elizabeth
que fotos tan bonitas!

i absolutely adore each of these photos, but the germany one is by far my favorite! something else i think really stands out about these photos is your excellent style; can i have your closet, please? :)
ReplyDeleteSo sweet! You're little ones will love looking at these some day. :)
ReplyDeleteThe Switzerland kiss is my favorite! This is such a precious idea :) And your dress in the last picture? Stunning! xoxo, eliza
ReplyDeleteLOVE this idea! and totally stealing it :) when we travel we always buy a little doll in each city -- something small that we can use as a christmas ornament. AND h buys a little flag...nervous about what he wants to do with all those flags but we'll see :) xoxo jillian:: don't miss the custom blanket giveaway on cornflake dreams
