HI Miranda,
Just try and go with the color scheme of your house or the room you will be hanging the portrait in. I chose fall colors with texture. Adding belts, necklaces and hair pieces adds a lot to the photograph.
You will do great!

I’ve been drooling over these photos since you posted them last year. So inspirational! My daughter will be one in September and we are getting family pictures done…any tips on shopping for them? It will be me, my husband, and baby girl. You always seem to style everyone and make your photos that much more gorgeous! Love your work!
I love #3 because of the incredible vineyard background, and the family looks beautiful! But its a toss up because #4 is incredible light! Wow, hard to decide for you…they are all amazing…just finding your blog now, love your photography! From another busy mom photographer vintage lover with 3 precious girls!
I love #3. .. there is just something so eyecatching about you leaning into your family. . . I too, would choose one with the vineyards behind you! I jumped over to Monica’s site. . . she had a few more posted. I loved the one of you and Dan.. . full body. So fun!

Love all of Your photos, #3 is also my favorite I think we are all wondering where You got Your HOT boots ? super cute outfit by the way
Katie, I’m from Ca & now in Va and I so miss the beautiful wineries! I say to pick no. 3, you don’t want to miss out showing that beautiful winery in the background!
I am DYING to know where all of the cuteness of your outfit came from?! LOVE the shirt, LOVE the skirt… it’s all fantastic! Your family is so beautiful.
I think we all love your outfit choices. I actually could not get them out of my head today; the colors selected are super creative! Are there any details you will share regarding them? Especially those gorgeous boots! We live on an island- it is better incredible weather, but cool outfits likes these make me miss the crisp weather. Is that really what the area looks like in the background where you live? Excellent work and I agree pick them all and alternate them from time to time.
WOW! These are amazing! Your family is BEAUTIFUL! My vote is for #3.

How horrible they are all beautiful and perfect! Is there really only one you can pick? I would have such a hard time picking, oh what if you make them all big and then rotate them. Put one up for a while then another one. I would hate to have to make the decision, your little one’s photograph so perfectly. At least when my kids get photographed one or the other isn’t always paying attention so usually only a handful of both of them looking at the same time come out so it makes my decision easier, LOL. I usually have to order a few of one and a few of the other and if I’m lucky 1 photo of the both. Maybe once they are older they will cooperate better. Oh I wish you had posted some of the Disney ones, I LOVE DISNEY, big fan and luckily we live in California so we are lucky to go often thanks to passes.

My vote is number 2 or 3. These pictures are truly a family treasure!
First off your family is ADORABLE! The outfit that you chose are amazing! I would never have thought to put something like this together and yet it looks SO SO SO amazing! I love it!! I also love the white and cream dresses that your girls are wearing in the beach pictures. SO cute!
My favorite family pictures are the first one and the third one. I LOVE the background in the third one best. It looks painted in. It is so perfect.
Good luck! Whatever you choose is going to be amazing! =)
