Mark,

I suspect you are talking about whether others incorporate season-specific elements into their portraits.

Personally I think it is too "dating" of the portrait, and diminishes the timeless quality most people seek. However, there are other "milestone symbols" that can be very effectively incorporated, such as a First Communion or prom dress, a Bar Mitzvah Tallis, etc..
