‘Tis the season.  Everyone is gearing up for the holidays, and you know what that means…..holiday cards!  I'm sharing my favorite tips for family photos outfits, plus giving you some sneak peaks of what we'll be wearing in our cards THIS year.
Looking for family photos outfits? I love these red beanies! So cute for christmas card photos!

One of my favorite things to do each year is to take family photos.  In fact, we take them year round….instead of just over the holidays.  So, I have a little more experience planning coordinated family outfits than I'd like to admit.

My tips? Pretty simple.  Pick a color theme and stick with it.  Pictures look best when outfits are cohesive.  I usually pick mostly neutral colors and one bright one (keep in mind that white clothes rarely photograph well…..so use blush or off white instead).

Our favorite Family Photos Outfits

Red Beanies:

This family photo shoot is still my favorite to date.  Our outfits were comfortable, and Lydia had a total blast.  We shot them at our local Christmas tree farm and those pops of red? Perfect for holiday cards.  To see the ultimate cuteness, check out the full blog post we did…..Lydia dancing around in the trees is a framed photo on my desk at work, I love it!

Want to know what to wear in family photos? These red hunter boots are PERFECT!

Rain Boots:

Last year, when I planned these family pictures with our red rain boots…..the forecast said nothing about rain.  Well, guess what happened in the middle of the shoot.  Luckily, we also had a really cute umbrella……and the pictures are adorable.  Rain boots are a great option for a rainy day shoot…….even rain coats and puddle splashing can be great!

Taking family photos on the beach this year? Then you need these tips!

Soft Neutrals:

If you're planning a beach shoot, most people tend to wear white.  Well, every photographer I've worked with has specifically said how hard it is to shoot white against light sand.  A great alternative? Soft neutrals.  For these beach photos, we used tans and greys.  Still got that neutral vibe, without washing out the photos.

These casual sneakers are PERFECT for family photos outfits! What a great way to show what your family ACTUALLY wears!

Sneakers:

We are a sneaker family.  In fact, my husband and I even wore Converse sneakers to our wedding.  So Lydia's first sneakers? Were high top Converse.  And we knew we had to do a fun family sneaker shoot.  I love these casual pictures, and they made REALLY adorable holiday cards!

I love these navy stripes for family photos outfits! What a cute idea!

Stripes:

Looking for a classic family photo outfit that will stand the test of time? Nautical stripes are always a great bet!  Years later, I still love these pictures (and I can't get over how little Lydia was)!

Shades of Blue:

Blue is a universally flattering color, and always looks GREAT in pictures (mustard yellow too).  Try mixing different shades of blue for great looking colors that pop in photographs!

I used to look at my shadow while I was running an I used to look at my shadow while I was running and think about how wide it was….but now all I can think is….YOU DID THAT.Running Diaries: 11 miles…..for the first time EVER.  If I can do 11 miles, I can do the half marathon in January.  This was the first “challenge training” I did.  I ran 3 miles the day before this and then 11 this day.  Race Weekend I’ll be doing a 10k on the Saturday and a half marathon on the Sunday.  That’s right, this almost 45 year old “not athletic” girlie is going to do it.  And I feel good about it.  It amazes me how much of this is mental at this point.  I’ve done the training.  It’s KNOWING I can do it.  And listening to my body when I need to slow down, snack, drink water.Wow.  11 miles.  I’m proud of this one. signed, your curvy running buddy

🎂…..and just like that, she’s reached the d 🎂…..and just like that, she’s reached the double digits! Happy 10th birthday to our adventure buddy, it feels like we just met her yesterday. Lydia brings joy to everyone in her life and I feel so lucky to be her mom! She had the sweetest birthday celebration with a few friends over the weekend.  They watched movies, and this adorable set up from @fireflysocal was a total hit.  I can’t recommend this local business enough, the vibes were impeccable (plus who doesn’t love letting someone else do the set up?!?)
I almost said no to Disneyland today. Between work I almost said no to Disneyland today. Between work commitments, Lydia’s birthday, general holiday busy-ness….it felt like one too many things. Hugged friends. Ate treats. Watched the most magical Disneyland tradition. And reminded myself it’s ok to enjoy the holidays for myself a bit too.Here’s to making memories for the memory makers all season long. Thank you @allisonmertzman for taking me on the best friend date to Disneyland’s Candlelight Processional!
…..a reminder that you are not: - too much - too …..a reminder that you are not:- too much- too loud- too enthusiastic For all the little girls who felt they needed to dull themselves.  To lessen their excitement.  To be a smaller version of themselves.You deserve to be the whole version of you. (and to do it dressing a way that brings you joy)
