I did a layout with the photo I took of my daughter this weekend and while I do like it Im thinking it might need a title or quote or something else? Just seems like maybe its missing something? Whats your opinions?

that is what I was thinking but Ive used that a couple times and was thinking maybe Id driven that title into the ground LOL I might still go with that though. Does it look to empty without a title?

What about just a name or the occaision? It needs something I think.

Maybe just a little something on the left above the beautiful scallop. title or journaling in black there?

I thought Beauty in Blue but that's dumb.
Maybe just a bunch of pretty journaling in your white space. I love journaling.:)

I do think the top half needs a little something.

What if you tried that wide paper strip and scallops running vertically behind the photo, then place a swirl or something coming out from behind the flower to fill up some of the whitespace that will then be on the left? Right now the photo is framed on each side, but not top and bottom, and that might balance things out just enough that you won't need a lot else.

I'm a huge fan of titles, but I don't think forcing them does a layout any favours and, to me, something like "Natural Beauty" would feel a bit forced with this page. I think maybe just letting the photo speak for itself with the layout complimenting it may be best here.

Just added a little journaling down the left side. I might come back and change it sometime later on though. Right now itll do how it is. Thanks everyone!!

I love the journaling there! I would go just one teeny little step further and add maybe the month and year below her photo in the bottom right corner to balance it out.

went ahead and added the date. That made it look a little more complete I think. Thanks everyone!!

If you still think it needs a title... you could do a smallish one right above the scallops next to the journaling. Maybe something like "A Great Day" or "Homecoming '08"
