Christmas Shoot

Our sweet, sweet photographer Marie made all my tree farm photoshoot dreams come true! This was the real first family photo shoot we have had with little Millie, and she rocked it. The drive out to the farm Liv was sleeping and Millie cried the entire way, so we got there thinking the photos were going to be a bust, but the girls really pulled it together, and we had a great shoot (thanks to a bag of M&M's in my pocket). So I am just sharing some of the photos.

This picture is perfection! Liv’s cute little dress is from Rylee & Crew.

Last year when I shared my Christmas card photo shoot I shared some tips and it was a popular post so I am going to copy it here again for you guys.

PICKING OUT OUTFITS FOR FAMILY PHOTOS:

I get asked a ton about picking out outfits for family photo shoots. These are some of the rules I follow:

- Coordinate colors, you don't have to match but can. I would never have everyone wearing the same color though. I do usually try to avoid matching but sometimes you have limited options and I wanted to show that you can still get great photos even when one or two people match, see last years photos here.

- Keep it classic, I don't like to wear anything too trendy when it comes to family photos.

-Add texture. I love how photos look when you have different textures or light patterns. Don’t overdue it here though.

-I ideally pick out outfits at least a week ahead of time, this gives me plenty of -time if I need to run out and get anything extra to pull our looks together. I did not do that this time which I was bummed about because I was not happy with Millies outfit, but we made do!

- I start by picking out an outfit for the most difficult person to dress. Normally this would be Liv or myself. I do that and then work with colors and patterns from that .

Much Love,
