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.

    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.

☀️ Cheers to: summer vibes with friends that a ☀️ Cheers to: summer vibes with friends that are easy

🥤right? My absolute ideal summer date with a friend involves a cool drink and a lazy afternoon.

❓Now the question…..what’s the best summer drink? Swipe to the end for mine (ha, IYKYK)
❓ Are you an introvert or an extrovert? Pretty ❓ Are you an introvert or an extrovert?

Pretty sure these photos display which I am 🤣

In all seriousness, these are some of the photos I took while I was at the Mom 2 Conference up in LA, the first larger group event I’ve been to in years. I was reminded how I THRIVE in a community setting (there’s your answer by the way). So my homework? For me self care looks like: plans with humans outside my family. A few times a week. Because it fills my cup.

Not gonna lie, I almost skipped this. It’s been a busy couple of weeks, but last night…..Lydia and I had a mommy and me date at Legoland on the agenda. Spoiler, it was the most fun we’ve had in a LONG time and….note to self, book more dates with my mini-me. Let’s be honest…..time moves faster and faster and….she’s going to be OVER these mommy and me moments in the blink of an eye.⠀
⠀
🏁About last night: we got to participate in a preview of the new LEGO® Ferrari Build & Race attraction at @legolandcalifornia and I have to say……Lydia is already asking to go back.⠀
⠀
🏎What is it?⠀
- this adorable attraction has three separate areas: a place where you’ll get to see a ton of cool Ferrari gear and info AND a Ferrari F40 model built completely out of LEGO bricks, a building area for making your own car and testing it on multiple race tracks, and then an area that SCANS YOUR CAR and allows you to digitally race other builders)⠀
- honestly? This was just as fun for me as it was for Lydia, and the teacher in me is required to tell you…..this is a perfect example of STEM / STEAM being a part of play. She built a car, tested it, then adjusted so it would move faster…..and I loved it!⠀
⠀
Highly recommend a visit!⠀
⠀
🗓Do you do regular one on one plans with your kid? Suggestions? I think we’re going to book one thing a week from here on out!⠀
