What to Wear for Family Photos | Fall Edition

Dressing for photos is always tricky! I put together a few insiration boards for you as a starting point to plan your family’s wardrobe for your family photo session.

Focus on coordinating, not matching!

Start by choosing a color scheme of 2-3 colors. I recommend choosing mom’s outfit first and building the wardrobe around that. Choose something you love, but also are comfortable in! When you’re comfortable, it shows and you’ll be much more relaxed for your session!

Other things to note: Save the graphics and logos for another time! Also avoid busy patterns. The best way to “spice” up your wardrobe a bit is to incorporate different textures!

Here are five fun wardrobes to start your planning for your Fall family photos! And if you’re looking for a photographer, I’m your girl!

Everything is linked below! Enjoy!

Kantner Family 2021 | Lancaster Family Photographer | Angie Englerth

Kantner Family

What a joy it has been to capture this family over the last several years! When they first told me they were moving, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t selfishly sad about it, but also, very excited for them! What a gift to these girls to get to experience life in this way!

To the Kantner family, I pray that you are settling in well to your new home and that you can enjoy the photos we’ve captured together for many more years to come!

I have to start this post with the image that started it all from the session that I first worked with this sweet family! Then sprinkle in some flashbacks to previous sessions and don’t forget their feature on the Love What Matters blog! Then the latest (and hopefully not last!) session with them!

Kristin & Olivia | Mommy & Me {Dream Lighting} Event | Angie Englerth Photography

Kristin & Olivia

I have been working with Kristin and Olivia for many years now and was so excited when Kristin booked a spot at this year’s Mommy & Me Event! I truly can never put into words what this event means to me and what it does for each mama that walks through the door. Yes, you are pampered. Yes, you get time with girlfriends. Yes, you get to dress up. But the real treat? You get to capture the look that your children give you to keep forever. Their love and adoration is so evident in these images and for me, the most rewarding part of my job is watching these mamas realize that when they view their images.

If you are considering joining this event next year, be sure to sign up for the newsletter! The planning has already begun and I promise you will not regret coming out!

Now, here are some favorites from Kristin & Olivia’s session!

Lisa & Keana | Mommy & Me {Dream Lighting} Event 2020

Mommy & Keana

Lisa first came to me when she was pregnant with Keana. We have worked together for her maternity, newborn and many milestone and family sessions. One thing I have treasured is that Lisa came to my first Mommy & Me {Dream Lighting} Event without really knowing what to expect and has since returned to every event. It is so fun to watch Keana grow up right in front of the camera and even more so to watch their mommy/daughter relationship blossom!

First, look at this fun throwback to see all of Lisa and Keana’s Mommy & Me Sessions to date. Then, of course some favorites from this year’s session!

Hey mama! Yes, you! Hiding in the bathroom? Feeding your baby in the dark? Sitting in the car for a few minutes before going into the grocery store? I see you. I am you.

The late nights. The bodily fluids, my gosh, the amount of bodily fluids little humans can make! The tantrums. The clinginess. The endless laundry. The mess of toys. Motherhood is full of challenges.

If you’re like me, you can’t wait for your kids to go to bed each night. Then you lay in bed looking at pictures of them reminding yourself how much you love them and how much more meaningful your life is because of them.

That’s where I come in! Let’s chat about the moments you’d like to freeze in time with a photo. You know, the smiles and laughs. The wonder in their eyes. The endless snuggles, kisses and repeated whispers of “I love you Mommy.”

Let’s capture it together so when you’re hiding in the bathroom or the car or the floor in your closet (no? Just me?), you can look at your phone background and be reminded that it’s all worth it.

All that to say, booking for Spring 2020 is now open!

Kanter Family

It’s been way too long since I have blogged a session so I’m just going to jump back in! Hopefully I can catch up and share all the fun sessions we’ve had around here lately! Starting with the Kanter family! We had such a fun session and while all the girls weren’t always 100% into it, we made sure to take lots of “breaks” for play!
