Christmas Photo Time!

Is she nuts? It's not even Thanksgiving yet. Yes, I am. Just a tad ;) About Christmas, that is. I seriously go full-blown Buddy the Elf this time of year. NO. My tree is NOT up yet, but it so will be the day after Thanksgiving lol
I don't think you are gonna find anyone who is more into the Christmas season than I am. I go all out!

So let's talk about your family's Christmas Photos this year. Let's go ahead and NOT make it look like the photo above lol
But before I go into outfits, let's talk attitudes. I am looking at you, Dad. lol Not all of you, but you know who you are. I PROMISE it will be fun. And I don't bite. I know it is awkward staring at me as I stare back through my lens, but it will be fun. I PROMISE. It will probably be chilly (cause, you know, Indiana...) but I will have cocoa for you to take with you and its gonna be awesome! 20 minutes of being cute and boom, you're done! SMILE everyone! 
No, but seriously, I love doing this. Even when I have a tough cookie to crack. I WILL get a smile out of you! 

Ok, outfits. Mom...breathe. You did a GREAT job picking them out! There are seriously no rules. I am not going to tell you what's right or wrong. These are supposed to be about your personalities coming out and you having fun! I mean, obviously, don't wear shorts and flip flops cause it's cold...but you know what I mean. Family above totally nailed the adorbs factor and I am sure most of you wouldn't have even considered yellow! Why do I love it? Look at their faces. FUN. I would totally stick this on 50+ cards and mail it to every family member I could think of. Oh, not my photo, btw. 
I am just gonna cut some of the work out for you and give you a link yo a Pinterest board once again with some outfits that *I* think are cute. That does not set the rules, however. YOU have fun and wear what you want! You all wanna wear Ugly Christmas Sweaters? Dooooo it! I wanna see it! lol PJs on the kids? Totally ok (as long as they are warm). Just remember if you jump in the shot without PJs as well it may look a little odd :-/ 

​Here, this will help. I am doing a rustic set-up again this year. Think natural looking elements. Plain wrapping paper, twine, burlap, deep reds and greens, aging wood... 
I did this so you can wear anything you want and you will not clash. You like patterns? Wear em! Flannel? Yes please! Flannel is my fav! 

I know I don't have a lot of do's and don't like I did for fall photos. It's gonna be harder to clash with the backdrop this go round so it's a little easier to pick. So here's where you get to scroll through my board and see if anything strikes you. And, as always, you can hit me up anytime for help or send me pics of the getups for an opinion. I am always happy to help! :D You've got  week to finalize and I have faith in you ;) I can't wait to see you all next weekend!
