{Family Portrait: What to Wear?}
Aubrie running around like a crazy person...
.
Me sweating bullets, and trying to keep my hair looking like it actually has ANY body
.
Our photographer almost hyperventilating, due to all the "backdrop" possibilities we stumbled onto, downtown
.
The girls begging for their "prize" that we promised if we got "good" smiles...
.
and Cason...
Trying to stay calm... while running after Aubrie and jumping into shots with her, the last second.
FAMILY PICTURES ROCK MY WORLD!
hahaha
Thanks Laci! You're my hero, and I adore your artistic style,
hopefully we got at least ONE good one, with that crazy baby of mine.
LOL
Laci gave me some really good advice.
Wear the colors that are already in your home... that way when you print your photo or canvas, it fits right in with what you already have going on with your decor!!!
Smart lady. That's why she's the BEST :)
I think I did a pretty good job.
oh... and don't worry... Cason and I wore pants during the ACTUAL photo shoot... hee heee
PS. I made all the flowers here (except for the ones on the twins's shirts)... If you haven't already seen a tutorial for them...
No worries! I'll share mine! :)
They are to DIE for CA-UTE!
I LOVE the ensembles for the picture....GREAT colors! And, I DO feel your pain on "picture freak out"! I have 3 girls and it is a major chore getting ready for pictures...UGH! But when you get a good one, all the pain just disappears {just like childbirth!!}
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see how they came out!!
Um...could you show me how to make your flowers...like...tomorrow? Ha! We are going to disneyland and I need the PERFECT flower headband to match my daughters cinderella dress:)

ReplyDeleteDude!!!!! I'm dying right now!! We are getting our family pics taken on Tuesday night and I'm stressing so bad about what we're all going to wear! Your post is perfect for me! I'm positive you'll get some great shots, you guys are all so stinking cute! I can't wait for you to post them- I'm already jealous of all the awesomeness for back drops you have access to up in your neck of the woods. The outfits you picked are seriously perfect, and adorable, I might add. Here's to hoping I can pull it off too! Wish me luck!

Can't wait to see the finally pictures. I have always dressed my family to match our decor.I thought I was the only crazy one that did that.haha... I find that I buy clothes in the colors of my home so it's easy to do.
ReplyDeleteHi. New follower here. Love your blog. When I try to click on the pictures on the left of your spaces it just takes me to photobucket, but I can't see the pictures. Any advice? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteOh, I've been procrastinating family pics for WAY too long 'cause they're so stressful... thanks for making me laugh.
