We had our Fall family photos yesterday and this is what I used as our inspiration. Those are the dresses that the girls and I wore. Rory's was inspired by this look. We went shopping locally and got him items to match this look.
Now last year we just did some photos on Thanksgiving outside my in-laws house. This year we got professional photos done by one of my best friends. Our hope is to do professional photos every other year or so. In between, we will just have a family member snap one for us.
Here is our inspiration:
My Look: Sage Ribbed Velvet Wrap Dress | Nude Heels
Girls Look: Rose Pleated Maxi Dress | Pink Glitter Flats
Rory's Look: Sweater | Dress Shirt | Slacks | Black Dress Shoes
We had both mine and the girls shoes already, but we purchased the dresses and used the coupon PIN10 for 10% off (not my code, just one I found through the honey add on).
Are you taking family photos this year for your Christmas card?
Very pretty. Just love the Velvet dresses!
ReplyDeleteThe velvet dress was soooo pretty. I can't wait to see our photos!
DeleteI love those velvet dresses - so pretty! xo, Biana BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteThey are soo pretty and feel so good. Such amazing quality.
DeleteI love your inspiration. Very pretty pieces.
ReplyDeleteThank you. The girls and I wore what I posted and my husband wore something very similar.
DeleteLook at the dress for the kids - so pretty!!!! I bet they would love being so dressed up too!
ReplyDeleteIt was sooo pretty on them. I can't wait to get the photos back and share. They love dressing up!!!
DeleteSo pretty! I love the colors here and how well they work together. I think we are holding out on fall pictures for now and skipping to our Christmas pics lol. Last year the kids complained about taking them in the cold so we're hoping to get ahead start.
ReplyDeleteI totally get that. It was a bit chilly with the wind, but I am glad we got them done now. We don't do them yearly, so I am glad we caught it before it got really cold. And thank you. I hope it all comes together in the photos like it did in my mind.
DeleteI am in love with the idea. Very intelligent approach and especially the outfit simplicity and colors.

Thank you.
DeleteOh those dresses would look so pretty together! :) I like how it's a subtle red and green combo too! We have family photos coming up this weekend - we get them taken each year for our Christmas card, and I haven't finalised what the kids are wearing yet. I might just give them a couple options and let them pick. My biggest worry is the weather - we are doing it at one of our favourite places outdoors, just hoping it doesn't rain like it's predicted too!
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a lovely start to your week :)
Away From The Blue
I really hope they went well together as that is what the girls and I wore. My husband wore a bit different, but this was the general idea. That was my worry too, but we lucked out and it was a bit windy, but still sunny and beautiful out. I hope yours goes well too.
DeleteBeautiful. Looking forward to see the the final photographs.
ReplyDeleteMe too! I love the look of all of this and it seemed to come together yesterday for pictures.
DeleteThose velvet dresses are beautiful!

Thank you!
DeleteThose little pink shoes with the sparkly bows! Olivia would love those. Heading over to check them out now!
ReplyDeleteThose are on Amazon and my girls love them. Perfect Christmas gift!
DeleteThese are beautiful! As a photographer, I can honestly saw that you NAILED the colors of these!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. I was so worried they wouldn't look good together. It is hard to see if it works just by looking. So thank you.
DeleteCan't wait to see the pics! We've actually never done professional family photos. Probably wouldn't hurt to sometime!
ReplyDeleteYou should at least once. It is fun to do it every couple years. And thank you. I can't wait to see them either.
DeleteLove how all the pieces look together. The color of your dress is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThank you. And that dress is amazing. I love the quality of it.
