Some of you have been asking me what to wear to your family photoshoots. So, today I came up with a few outfits and ideas for you. Here are some things to keep in mind as you make you wardrobe decisions.

• You don’t all have to match, when I say match I mean everyone does not have to be in a white shirt and jeans. Everyone can be an individual while complementing the rest of the colors and styles in the family.

• Stay away from busy prints and big logos, you wouldn’t want one person to standout too much from the others.

• Choose 3 - 4 colors, then create outfits that mix and match those colors

• Play with a bright accent color that you can sprinkle around everyone’s outfits.

• Think about who you are as a family, when your all doing the things you love to do together and let that inspire you. Most of all remember to have fun with it.

The bride got ready at the Mission Inn, it provided the perfect backdrop for all the romantics. Its so important to take time with these super important pictures the couple needs time to relax and enjoy each other without being rushed or worried about prying eyes.

We left the Hotel for Castaways in the San Bernardino Mountains and the view there was breathtaking. The bride looked stunning as her father walked her down the aisle. lots of his family flew in from Thailand and India there was a fusion of many cultures.

The thing that i recall mist about the shoot way the way that Rajeev looked at her through out the day, his quiet tender nature and the love I could see in his eyes. His goal was to be sure his brides wishes came true, it was clear he did as they danced together for the first time as husband and wife.

Rajeev and Kay, I wish you true love and happiness.

Its always great to photograph such a loving family, the parents were adorable and the kids had so much character and spunk. I have to say that their property was so inspiring, it offered so many incredible photo-ops. I mean look at those old cars, the second I saw them I had an image in mind, tell me if you can pick my favorite. I just loved, loved, loved this shoot! Thank You Kirk family for letting me capture these moments with you.

NOTE: Those of you that have shoot coming up with me take a moment and look around your home and property. Look at the things that you share with your family. Something that ties you to the place you live and love and the people you share that space with. I want you guys to think outside of the box here - bring me into spaces and scenes in your life that connect you. I cant wait until our shoot!
