## Prompt

```text
Transform this reference photo into a gentle, slightly naive {style} illustration, as if drawn by a child's hand using crayons. The facial, hand, and clothing details of the characters are outlined with soft, rounded lines, avoiding excessive detail. The use of color is not limited to traditional colors but freely uses bright {color_tones}. Pink, mint green, lemon yellow, lavender purple, and light blue are mixed randomly, reinterpreting the image with childlike imagination. The lines are slightly naive, and the colors exhibit the characteristic rough texture, unevenness, smudging, and staining of crayons. The layout is natural, as if a child were decorating precious memories with a brush. The overall image softly blends into a {atmosphere}. This is a nostalgic, cute, and slightly sentimental photo worth treasuring in an album.
