Well not always, and she hasn't said it that way ... but Ida does often "change" before she goes out in public. How is it that dressing your children can have so many possibilities and attract so much attention? Jo prefers things that "go together". I like things that make a statement about the day. I imagine that I am Ida and wonder what she would  choose if she hadn't yet realised that you can't wear stripes with spots and didn't even know how to say, let alone spell, "fashion disaster". Maybe I am wrong and maybe she does realise. One day she will tell me how I ruined her life (as only teenagers can) or maybe she will say that she felt understood. But this is such an opportunity to make brave and bold fashion statements and dress a little person in a way that you wished you might dress yourself. But it does raise the question about who is making the statement. Of course this is really about albums. When we break the rules we do it for the right reasons ... not to make a personal "fashion statement" but because it is the thing that needs to be done. We do it for our clients, not for our own twisted sense of satisfaction. People come to us for our creativity and sense of style, and when we apply that to making their album we consider the album's future life ahead of all else. Think of it like  this. Queensberry make albums that last. We want to make sure that what we put into it, and the way we put it in, will endure as well. Ida, (our daughter), on the other hand, has a whole bunch of interesting clothes that will only last a month or so before she grows out of them ... But with photographers as parents there may be damning evidence of our fashion impositions. Cheer, Johannes
