Can I see your outdoor family photos?

[jeaniebueller]

We are doing a mini session next month and I have outfits for the kids and myself but am stumped at what to have my H wear. Can I see your pics?

[Ashley&Scott]

What outfits do you have planned for you & the kids?

[Deleted]

Lol, probably not what you're going for. 

[ssmjlm]

DH usually has on a button down and either shorts or jeans.





Those are what I could find quickly on FB.

This was last August.

I don't think I can link, but to sum up, DS is going to wear a plaid shirt (red and black) and jeans, DD is going to wear a cream colored shirt (not sure about bottoms), I am wearing a burgundy short sleeved tunic sweater and skinnies with boots.

*poof* Pdq. I'll delete later.

This was taken in October, and it was a cold and windy day.  With your timing, I think you need warm and cooler weather options.

I love these!!! @awinter your blue eyed family is stunning. I don't think I've ever seen family pictures before.

Picture takers - what's a good time to get that backlit glow?

Aww, thanks @republicrat.

Hold up, thebreakfastclub. So you DON'T look like Molly Ringwald IRL?

LOL no.  

I did feel a little weird after yesterday's posts about all of the early 30s here who want Botox and think they look bad.  I was 37 there and I thought I looked pretty decent!

That's the BEST time, but generally, earlier in the morning or the couple hours before sunset give the most flattering light. Mine is from about 10 am, but all the "glow" is filters.

PDQ.

This was September but it was 90 degrees and I was sweating in pants  :? But I love a brighter color (cobalt, cranberry, mustard yellow) to contrast with the colors of the leaves and outdoors.

This was from early May, around 9:30 am. Pdq

I got Botox the first time in my late 20s. Vanity + redhead skin made me an early adopter who was unwilling to grow old gracebully. You are really pretty and don't need it (not that anyone really NEEDS IT). 

[jeaniebueller]

These are great! THank you, everyone!

[drloretta]

Oh darn, an AW opportunity. All of these were September/October-ish







My entire side of the family is getting photos done in October. My SIL refuses to pre-plan outfits. We did OK last time (everyone was in navy, brown, or darker green), I'll be curious to see how this year goes.

hahaha that will never happen in summer. Golden hour starts at 7 PM. I will have to ask for filters!

This was in June, I believe. Around 6pm so it was still pretty light but we were on a covered bridge so we didn't have shadow issues. 




PDQ or use my photo some some weird voodoo trickery.

eta- This one is from two years ago around Thanksgiving.



eta...again- This one was from January but we just did a mini session with the kids on this one.

This was in October but it was like 90 degrees. I like to wear white because it's neutral. My h's "uniform" is jeans and a j crew button down. lol

Can you link to your tunic? I've been looking for one in that color.

[jeaniebueller]

I think everyone looks pretty in these pictures.  We are too hard on ourselves!

Regarding time, we did our pics at 10am, because that is when DS is generally at his happiest.

PDQ:

[oceanstbride]

H is always in a button down and either jeans or shorts.

These were indoor, but we also had pics taken outdoors too

[jeaniebueller]

I am not super worried about it being too warm up here. By mid Sept, it could be anywhere from mid 50s to mid 70s. Unless we had some kind of freakish heat wave, which I doubt.

[autumnfire]

I realize I'm not in the photo as I took this one. But it's one of my favorite photos of H and A taken last month.


This is one H got of A and I.

[laurenh]

So, uh, apparently we need to step up our family photo game. I think we have one as a family of 5 and I'm like 5 days pp. Oops.

You all look wonderful!
