Solid color/simple pattern outfits > lots of patterns.
As you plan your outfits, stay away from large, loud patterns and colors that distract the eye. Instead, piece together different outfits that match but are unique to each person – that way, you have unison but not complete matching.

Have FUN!
In recent years, there’s been a shift away from posed, “stand still” photos to natural, creative captures. This is especially helpful with kiddos who don’t want to stand still. Rather than stressing over the perfect shot, trust your photographer to capture the smiles and have fun with it all! These are the kinds of photos that bring a smile to the faces of friends and family when they open your Christmas card.
