Family Photo Outfit Ideas

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:

Family Fall Photo Outfit Inspiration
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?

  5. So 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.

    1. I 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.

  7. Oh 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!

    Hope you are having a lovely start to your week :)

    1. 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.

    1. Thank 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.
