Wondering what to wear in family photos? This country family photo session is filled with plaid, denim and cowboy boots.....perfect for a fun family photo shoot!Wondering what to wear in family photos? This country family photo session is filled with plaid, denim and cowboy boots.....perfect for a fun family photo shoot!I'm super excited to be back with another post in our What to Wear in Family Photos series!  Now that family photo season is in full swing, we'll be sharing a few of our favorite family photo inspirations…..so that you can plan for your family pictures.  These? Totally different than what we normally do!  How often do you see dirt roads and cowboy boots around these parts? I'm a total country nerd, it's pretty much the only music I listen to.  So when hubby and I brainstormed a huge list of family picture ideas…..I was sure we wanted to try dirt roads and plaid.  I mean, who doesn't love a toddler in cowboy boots?

One thing to think about when setting up family photos? Time of day and location.  These pictures look totally different than our usual style because we shot at sunset.  See that pretty glowing light?  It starts about 45 minutes before sunset.  When we shot in the morning? Crisp and bright. And this location? A total contrast to the urban backgrounds we normally shot in.  A lot of this is a matter of opinion and personal style.  My only suggestion? Please don't just shoot on a lawn somewhere.  Those pictures don't have much personality! Think about your family.  Do you live in a big city? Shoot in front of gritty walls.  Are you backroads and bonfires? Dirt roads and cotton fields.  Live on the coast? Shoot in front of that ocean everyone is so jealous of!  Playful? An amusement park makes a great background!

    We have never done a family photo. I want to someday, though.

    These are great tips. Family photos are always great, but there’s so much more you can do to make them outstanding.

    We just had family photos taken and we went with blue, brown and boots. Didn’t want to buy much and it worked perfectly with the woods and trees.

    We’ve done a few family photos here and there over the years. Nothing outdoors or anything like that though. These are really cute pics.

    I just love the pics in your photo shoot. My son and family always do a special photo shoot before he is deployed.

    We have not done a full family photo in a long time. We did them when our kids were young but haven’t for the last few years. You’ve motivated me to get back on that bandwagon.

The way I laughed out loud when I spotted this lit The way I laughed out loud when I spotted this little area during our day at Knott’s Berry Farm……. (teachers, you get it right?!?)I mean, HAD TO TAKE A PHOTO (or 20). This weekend was the start of Peanuts Celebration at Knott’s Berry Farm and we spent a day immersed in all things Snoopy.  From the rides in Camp Snoopy to the adorable new shows to the ACTUAL PIGS in Pigpen’s Pig Pen there was so much to do…..I’m so glad that Knott’s invited us to check it all out!Now, who is YOUR favorite Peanuts character? (Lydia’s is Sally, she’s actually playing her in a school play TODAY — the timing, right?) @knottsberryfarm #knottspeanutscelebration
✨ Happy 100th Disney!✨⠀ ⠀ 💜The people a ✨ Happy 100th Disney!✨⠀⠀💜The people are the magic.  Yesterday was filled with friends and food and fun and feet (sore ones after walking around from dawn to way past dusk)…….and as Lydia and I tucked ourselves into bed last night……I felt so much gratitude.  Our happy place has brought so much joy into our lives and so many people that enrich each moment.⠀⠀✨The Disney 100 Celebration will be happening ALL YEAR, and I feel like we still have so much to see and do.⠀⠀💜Favorite Moments and Experiences from our day one of Disney 100:⠀🚂riding Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railroad: I avoided ALLLLLL spoilers (there are some in this carousel btw), and had seen NONE of the attraction until we stepped into the queue…. it was absolutely adorable and I can’t WAIT to ride it again, plus when we exited the ride…..some of the team that created it were at the exit and seeing their smiles? ABSOLUTE DISNEY MAGIC.⠀🌅seeing the sun rise over the castle bright and early⠀💕running into friends every 5 minutes, it felt like a giant reunion⠀👗characters in their costumes, not going to lie….we didn’t wait in lines for them….they were length, but we gave a wave as we walked by and they looked stunning⠀⠀✨When is your next Disney trip???
🏰Dreaming of Dancing in Front of the Castle for 🏰Dreaming of Dancing in Front of the Castle for Spring Break?🏰⠀⠀📷A few castle photo tips:⠀1️⃣side, not center……both sides of the castle have lovely little spots that provide a great view of the castle and moat, but avoid the crowd (plus you can get some nice flattering light into the mid morning or in the late afternoon)⠀2️⃣want to be closer to the front? Sit on the back of the benches built into the moat entrance, you’ll be a bit elevated, it gives a great angle and a better view of the castle herself ⠀3️⃣if you REALLY want that walking into the castle shot…..this is something you can do during early entry time if you are staying on property ⠀⠀🧳Now, let’s talk Spring Break tips in collaboration with @themeparkfrog :⠀🚨This is IT.  Red alert.  If you’re hoping to visit the Happiest Place on Earth for Spring Break….BOOK IT NOW.  Spring Break is around the corner, and the more you plan, the happier you’ll be (trust me).⠀⠀To do (in order):⠀1️⃣book your hotel, theme park tickets and rental car: for the best deal, you can do this as a bundle with Undercover Tourist (you’ll save a TON this way….I’m sharing more in stories)⠀2️⃣once you have your trip dates….book dining.  At Disneyland you can book 60 days in advance (which means, NOW and coming up very soon for Spring Break).⠀3️⃣ If you want to do something special like the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, you can ALSO book that 60 days in advance.⠀⠀✨So, are you ready? Blue skies, sunshine, and Disney Magic guaranteed. What are YOUR spring break plans?
