My family and I spent New Years Eve day doing a small photo shoot. It was something I have been wanting to do for almost two years now, as the last time we took family pictures was when I was pregnant with my little Nox. That was 2 years ago, so you know it was long overdue.
When one of my good friends, Pam, told me she wanted to take our family photos I was thrilled. Pam is very patient with little ones and a hubby who hates photos. We honestly did not give her much to work with. Not only were the boys and hubby over taking pictures after literally 3 minutes, but on top of that it was a freezing cold, cloudy day and a location with pretty dim lighting.
I told Pam if we could just get one good picture in I would be happy under the circumstances. The fact that she was able to get quite a few really awesome shots really went above and beyond my expectations. Follow Pam on Instagram @pamela_cristal.
So here are my tips when taking family photos…
Shop mine and the boys look below by clicking on the picture. My husband wore a classic black suit and white dress shirt. My jump suit is no longer available but I posted a similar one and it’s 20% off! I love it because it’s flowy, super comfy and it looks dressy without looking like I tried too hard. The boys skinny jeans and dress shirt are also on sale 50% off. The black vest and suspenders were both purchased at Once Upon a Child and the bow-ties through an Instagram shop @lilibellemarket.
