Have you ever been to a portrait studio to get your picture taken? It's time to take a trip down memory lane with us as we look back at the times we went to all of those studios for the classic photo. But...did you know that a lot of people now go back to those studios to recreate those classic poses? Who knew? We talk about when we started going to the studios, why we went to a particular studio, and what do we do with all of the leftover wallet-size pictures. From school photos to family photos, disposable cameras to our phones. It is amazing how things have changed, but one thing that hasn't changed is the pollen that is still in the air.
