‘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)!

Looking for family photos outfits? These six ideas are adorable and super easy to put together!

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!

🎉HAPPY REOPENING DAY TOONTOWN!!!!!🎉⠀ ⠀ W 🎉HAPPY REOPENING DAY TOONTOWN!!!!!🎉⠀⠀We loved visiting yesterday for a preview of this reimagined area.  It’s absolutely perfect for getting your wiggles out, having a picnic and yup……..getting your Disney feels fix.⠀⠀My top recommendations when visiting this new area?⠀⠀1) mobile order from Cafe Daisy…..we loved the pizza options and the cold brew⠀2) play play play in Goofy’s How-To-Play Yard, and inside his house…..⠀3) take the time to walk through Minnie and Mickey’s houses, you’ll probably see a surprise friend or two!⠀4) absolutely yes to the picnic basket from Good Boy! Grocer.  It’s a STELLAR price and a really fun experience to pick out your own snacks.⠀5) Mickey’s and Minnie’s Runaway Railway is a perfect full family ride.  I’d suggest trying for this earlier in the day if you can.⠀6) Keep an eye out for Pete, it’s so much fun to see him wandering the area.⠀⠀#Disneyland #Toontown #Mickey #Minnie #MMRR @disneyland @disneyparks invited guest
✨There’s something in my eye…….oh it’s j ✨There’s something in my eye…….oh it’s just pixie dust.⠀⠀When I think of Lydia’s earliest visits to Disneyland….I think of Toontown.  I think of Minnie’s House and meeting Mickey and playing next to Goofy’s House.  I think of the adorable landscape and the magic that the area creates for the youngest and the young at heart.⠀⠀✨Today we visited Toontown for a sneak peek before it’s reopening tomorrow…..and yup, that pixie dust definitely got in my eye.  More than once.⠀⠀Toontown is even more magical than it was (partially thanks to the addition of a cold brew on the menu at Cafe Daisy (good call Disney food and beverage team). ⠀⠀✨My favorite moments from today’s sneak preview?⠀1️⃣ we saw Pete. He’s even better than I’d hoped.2️⃣ I love love love the food options in Toontown! Highlights: the picnic basket snack option Good Boy! Grocers, the cold brew and a delicious gluten free fold over pizza (regular looked great too)3️⃣ the new play areas are amazing! Goofy’s How to Play Area is phenomenal and filled with a ton of new interactions. ⠀Happy reopening Toontown.  Can’t wait to see you again real soon. ⠀⠀Have you visited Toontown? Are you planning to come see all updates?⠀⠀#Disneyland #Toontown #Mickey #Minnie #MMRR @disneyland @disneyparks invited guest

There are people cheering you on…..and you don’t even realize it.I learned a LOT during the 7 months of training for this race.  I learned that I should stretch and warm up (thanks pulled muscle for that life lesson), I learned that small progress over time leads to achieving big goals.  I learned that sunshine and being outside makes me a happier person.  I learned that I’m more of an athlete than I thought I was. But most of all? I learned……there are a whole lot of people in your cheering section and you might not even know they’re sitting there.  After I pulled this muscle, I was amazed by the sweet and kind messages while I tried to prepare to run my first 10k with an injury.  But NOTHING prepared me for the ovwhelming amount of kindness and support that flooded into my inbox when I crossed the finish line.  From the early morning you can do this messages to the ones that came in throughout the race to the inspiring amount of support as I iced my pulled muscle…..it brought me to tears.And the amazing thing? When Jennifer and Lashawn and I found each other at the finish line….they said the same thing.  It’s not just me.  We all have a cheering section.  And wow, do they show up when you may not be expecting them.Got a big goal? Working on something new? Share it in the comments.  I’d love to join your support team.#medalmonday #rundisney
