Ahhh, family pictures….Seriously, I am the first to admit they are kind of a dreaded task. And I know Dusko hates doing them especially since my “job” is taking pictures ALL the time!! lol. So I tend to delay them until it’s really time because we all know we need a Christmas Card picture, ammiright?!?!? We took a different approach this time and they were honestly really fun! For starters, my cousin is our photographer. So the kids love her and think she is funny. This is super helpful to have someone that can get them to smile and giggle. But it was legit freezing the day we took pics so we did hurry but also sang some of the kids favorite songs and truthfully just didn’t put pressure on them and I feel like they turned out great! I mean, Emme’s expressions in a lot of these pics are simply priceless and quite honestly I would prefer that. When we look back someday it will remind us more of our kids cute little personalities:).
Another thing I want to chat about it Family Picture Outfits. I feel like often I hear people chatting about how hard it is. DON’T OVERTHINK IT! Pick one print or top and just base everything else around it. If I’m being honest, I tend to pick my outfit first and go from there. Just pull a color from that outfit and add to the rest of the group. Imagine a pod of mannequins at a store. They tend to coordinate, they are obviously going to the same party and or photoshoot! I was happy to admit that the only outfit we bought was Emme’s Super cute jumpsuit! Which we had bought prior to the Family Picture Outfit Selection.
Happy Holidays from my family to yours!
XOXO,
The Tadic Family
