A few fashion tips for the family portrait, assuming you get everyone on the same page<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The last time I booked a family portrait, my youngest was still in diapers.\u00a0 He is 11 now.<\/p>\n

Why have I waited so long?\u00a0 The logistics of coordinating the four of us to be in the same place at the same time gets harder every year.\u00a0 Preaching to the choir, right?<\/p>\n

However, with the holiday season rapidly approaching and the reality that last year\u2019s plan for a Christmas card turned into a New Year, Valentine, St.Patty\u2019s Day, NEVER, EVER happened card, I need to get on it, asap.<\/p>\n

I will admit to being the mom who enjoyed matching outfits on my boys for every professional picture.\u00a0 Now that they are older, I would have to drug them to make that happen!\u00a0 But, I do want the picture to look visually appealing.\u00a0 A cacophonous hodge-podge of a wardrobe selection is NOT an option in my book.\u00a0 No sir-eee!<\/p>\n

Enter photographer, Amber Shader!<\/p>\n

Amber is a professional behind the lens who (very cleverly, I might add) helps counsel her clients as to the perfect clothing options necessary to result in the most flattering portraits.\u00a0 In her infinite wisdom, she has gone so far as to create a \u201cWhat to Wear\u201d Pinterest board to make styling a session remarkably easy!\u00a0 AMEN!<\/p>\n

Her suggestions?<\/p>\n
