I think I like the first better-- but both are lovely, and way nicer than the Christmas card frames from Costco that I used!!

They are both AWESOME! I would have a very hard time choosing. I love it!
How did you do it? Do you have a certain type of software you used?

I like the first one also.. I like it because it seems more balanced and the focus is on the sentiment/occasion rather than a bunch of pictures of her. You did an amazing job, thanks for sharing them.

I love them both. I slighly prefer the vertical one because I like photographs vertically rather than horizontally!

She is BEAUTIFUL!
Where did you get the dress that she is wearing outside in the large picture in the horizontal one (the sun dress)? It is stunning!!!

Strasburg Children - it was a splurge...it's actually a top with pants. I think it's called "morning wear."

Both are beautiful -- and so is your baby! What a sweet, pretty little girl. I like the "artsiness" of the horizontal one, and the organization of the vertical one. How's that for no help at all?!
