Family Photos

Style

Back in April on possibly the most gorgeous evening ever, we loaded up in the car and headed north to Guthrie where we met the Blue Lilies for a family photoshoot. It was an idyllic location – a field with the most beautiful tree I possibly have ever seen, and a few abandoned buildings. I’ve been anxiously awaiting our proofs and thought I’d show you the final result.

When I was pulling together our outfits, I didn’t want us to be in all white shirts with jeans or something cheez like that. I pulled together a color scheme that we could all kind of play around with so we’d have options. And because I’m crazy, I surfed around on the net to find other family photos that I liked. You can see my inspiration board here, including my most favorite family photo session ever by DesignMom.

Jude’s shorts look a lot more saturated in these photos than they do in real life; they’re more muted than they appear.

I also wanted to play around with mixing patterns in these photos. Admittedly I think the large scale of my skirtmakes my hips look more, well, child-birthin’ large than I would prefer, but I do love that skirt.

Skirt: ASOS. Cardigan: J.Crew.  Tank: J.Crew (last year)

Finally, I cracked up at this outtake from below. It would have been perfect except for my goofball face!

 

with love,
Rachel
