It's the most wonderful time of the year!  The holiday season is upon us and seemingly everyone is having their family photo's updated.   Now I know it's a very exciting time, and sometimes folks can get a little overzealous in their outfit preparations.  So please enjoy a few examples of what not wear: Sunless Tanner Mishap...It's okay to have a glow, as long as your glow is not a shade of Dorito (and I mean that in the kindest way possible): Pick a theme, not a costume (but I like your gusto): Be mindful of what is age appropriate, the red onesie is cute on your baby, but not on his Daddy (kudos on being original though): Less is not always more (there's not much else to say): All joking aside, you can have a themed family photo that is silly and whimsical but still timeless. Here are some of the Do's: This couple's color palette coordinates without being to "matchy-matchy" and I love that they included their fur-babies! or how this family's creative color palette is different from the typical reds, greens, and winter white's: Another idea is for your family to be coordinated but not posed in the typical face-forward shot. I love how this family looks candid, yet collected for their photo: and lastly, don't forget to capture your family unit (here's my silly crew): Whether it's sophisticated or silly, please remember that it is most important to be you!!
