So it is usually an epic fail when I try to do family pictures but this year I enlisted a friend of mine from high school who is a hobbyist and loves getting her hands on a camera to do the shots of all 5 of us. I knew the perfect spot (literally within inches), I got all our outfits together, and I set Alison (click her name to visit her family blog-she will crack you up) up. She and I went over some images that I liked and I showed her this and that and what I liked and she shot away! We finally released her and then Jon & I got our hands on the camera and even Olivia got to take a few ?
I have had several people ask me about the girls outfits so here is the wardrobe rundown:
Greyson: NextDirect
Olivia & Presley: Apron Dresses by Pixiilane and Pettiskirts by Oopsy Daisy Baby
My Dress: XOXO at Dillards and Boots from Private Gallery at Destin Commons
Jon: Guess shirt/Jeans from Buckle
Wanna see my Pinterest Board for our shoot? HERE
Olivia took this one sitting on the trampoline behind our house-we are currently hydroseeding our yard so it’s a bit pitiful ? haha
Dayna – GORGEOUS! Every single one of them. Mine are an epic fail every year too but you’ve inspired me and given me hope that maybe I can do a better job this year. Great job Kansas, they are all winners in my book.
alison – the first one still remains my favorite….but your family is so fabulous that i honestly love them all! thank you for trusting me with your pics….i had a great time ?
Adria Peaden Photography – Really love this session. The colors, the kids running and Ah-mazing light. Great job.
kansas – Thanks Adria ?
kansas – Thank you so much again ? I can’t wait to show off the canvas’s!
kansas – Thanks! It is so frustrating each year but this year I had a glass of wine on our way over and made myself relax and tried to pick some more kid friendly things to try ?
Teasa – OMG LOVE every single one of these pics!!! You have a beautiful family :)) how do you pick which ones to frame? their all so good!!! Kansas you are amazing photographer!!! I cant wait for you to do are family photos!!!
kansas – Teasa, Thank you!
Sue Fowler – JUST BEAUTIFUL!! Have to ask…are you guys using a flash with all that bright background light to fill in the face?
You are all beautiful!
kansas – Thank you! No these are 100% natural light like *most* of my stuff. I shot at proper exposure and if our faces needed a little light I did in photoshop and then edited around the trees to give them the right look ?
