What To Wear For Your Family Christmas Card Pictures

Family Christmas card season is upon us and can be really stressful.  I always worry about coordinating outfits and the kids not having that odd forced smile.  This is why picking a lifestyle photographer is key.  This year we had Katie Hill from Katie Hill Photography take our pictures.  She was so easy to work with and the kids just loved her.

Clothing

Over the past few years I have really loved mixing and matching neutrals with different textures.  I stick with a color scheme of white, cream, gray, light brown and navy.  I try to add texture with fabrics such as lace, cotton, chunky knits, corduroy and waffle textured tops.

I usually wear a dress because it is one piece of clothing and easy to coordinate around.  I also pick my outfit first, then coordinate around the rest of the family.  Layering is key.  If your husband or son is in a basic henley top, add a suit jacket or plaid button up over top of it.  I usually put my daughter in a dress with tights and a cardigan.  A skirt and top is also a great option.
