Wondering what to wear in family photos? This nautical family photo session is filled with navy stripes and pink accents.....perfect for a fun family photo shoot! nautical family photosI'm a little too excited about this new series.  We work with professional photographers to take some of my blog pictures, and this was inspired by a conversation with one of them.  She mentioned that families often email her before portrait sessions asking what to wear in family photos.  And selfishly? I feel like y'all have seen a million pictures of Lydia and myself (I know, the mommy and me style pictures are pretty cute)….but you've seen barely any of us as an entire family.

So, once or twice a month…..we'll be sharing inspiration for what to wear in family photos.  Casual, formal, holiday…..we're gonna do it all!  If you want inspiration for a specific look or location…..comment below or email me, I'd love to hear what you're looking for!Wondering what to wear in family photos? This nautical family photo session is filled with navy stripes and pink accents.....perfect for a fun family photo shoot!So, I'm excited to share our first family photo session.  After last year's holiday photos (where hubby hated his outfit)…..I've learned the hard way. We picked our outfits for this nautical look together.  Don't you love the striped, nautical look? It's casual, timeless, and the colors look GREAT on film.  One thing we've learned…..when planning what to wear in family photos…..lie all your outfits together beforehand.  There should be a common thread.  A red shirt would have stuck out like a sore thumb in these photos.  Our blue pieces from Vineyard Vines were perfect together, and I love that Robbie's shades of blue are complimentary without being perfectly matching. (Couldn't you just DIE over Lydia's little dress?)  Our matching striped watches from Daniel Wellington are a great accessory, and I love that they have removable straps…..we also have matching brown leather straps for other family pictures.

And last but not least……how much do you LOVE my gold braided necklace? Amrita Singh makes stunning statement pieces that add just the right touch of bling to any family photo session.  This gold braided piece reminded me of nautical rope…..and I love how it completed my nautical outfit.  I'll actually be wearing it in a ton of photos, because it's so versatile.  Since I couldn't stop obsessing over it, I convinced the team at Amrita Singh to give a matching necklace to one of you……just in time for you to start planning what to wear in your own family photos!

    These photos are darling. I love a nautical theme, and you all nailed it! I love that the blues go together but aren’t all the exact same. This is a good reminder that we need to get our family photos taken, because that’s happened, well never. 🙂

    Great looks for a family photo! My family just did family photos on Friday night and we went with a black/chambray/cognac theme. I think it worked really well! Thanks for linking-up with Carrie, Casey and me!

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?

✨ 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?
