I adore having beautiful photos with the ones I love. In fact, I believe it's important to take bookoos of photos with my family because it's the photos that will trigger memories of our sweet life together later. However, finding the perfect outfits for those photo shoots can be a big pain. Anyone else feel that way? Well I recently discovered a website that rents a variety of brands. Yes, RENTS! That means you can rent and enjoy something that might be out of your budget to purchase. Or if you're like me and you also don't like having an overstuffed closet, clothes rental might be perfect for you, too. So now let's look at how to select photos for your photo shoot.(Get $20 off HERE)
- Choose a Mood: Take a moment to understand the mood you hope to capture. Are you going for a casual outdoor look, or a formal portrait? Playful or serious? Understanding the context will help you narrow down your options and create a cohesive look that complements the overall vibe of the photos.
- Choose Flattering Colors: Wearing colors you feel beautiful in will play a crucial role in how you feel during the shoot. I recommend having your colors professionally done because there's a science to undertones, overtones, all the tones. But if you don't have time for that, make sure you FEEL beautiful in what you choose. I opt for colors that will look good in our home in the case I choose to print a photo.
- Dress for Your Body Type: Of course, highlight your best features by choosing outfits that flatter your body type. If you're unsure, stick to universally flattering silhouettes like A-line dresses, tailored blazers, or well-fitted jeans. Avoid overly baggy or tight clothing, as they may distract from your natural beauty.
- Accessorize Wisely: Be careful not to over accessorize. You want your face to be the object not your necklace. Choose carefully.
- Consider the Location:The setting of your photo shoot can influence your outfit choice. If you're shooting in a natural environment, such as a park or beach, opt for casual, breathable fabrics. For urban settings or formal portraits, more polished and structured clothing may be appropriate. Always consider the practical aspects of your location, such as temperature and terrain.
- Comfort is Key:No matter how stunning your outfit looks, if you're uncomfortable, it will show in your photos. As you can see in these photos, I decided to take off my shoes because they were not comfortable. Prioritize comfort when selecting your attire, especially if the shoot involves movement or various poses. Confidence is the key to a successful photoshoot, and feeling comfortable in your clothes will help you exude that confidence effortlessly.
Conclusion:Finding the right outfit for a photo shoot is a creative process that involves thoughtful consideration of various factors. By understanding the theme, choosing flattering colors, dressing for your body type, accessorizing wisely, considering the location, planning for wardrobe changes, and prioritizing comfort, you can ensure that your outfit enhances the visual impact of your photos. So, go ahead, strike a pose, and let your style shine in every frame.

We were in our early years of marriage. My husband finally had his first job as a dentist working for a big dental company about 45 minutes from our apartment. Excited to hear about his day over a hot meal prepared for 2, I checked the driveway every few minutes. But the dinner hour came and went. It was getting late..No matter how many times I checked the clock or peeked out the window,

Usually, at around 8 pm, we start dimming the lights in our house and turning off any electronics. We take our dog for a quick walk, have a family huddle with the kids and then settle in for the night. We spend some time talking about our day or whatever comes to mind, and then we turn on our audiobook...

If you don’t have anything to hide, don’t hide anything.
It sounds simple, but this concept is so crucial in marriage. Marriage is about the two becoming one, and there is no room for secrets in marriage. If you are keeping secrets, no matter how small, Satan has a way into your marriage and will cause a wedge between you and your spouse.
If you have found yourself unhappy with your marriage, take a few minutes to think about your thoughts. What do you allow in your mental space daily. Are your thoughts constantly negative? Do you always have a criticism to give out to your spouse? Would you say you can easily be put in a bad mood?
Do you ever find yourself making imaginary tallies of how much you are doing vs how much your spouse is doing?
Have you noticed how, when you do that, joy and fun are nowhere to be seen in your household?

Keeping score in marriage is the quickest way to ruin a good thing. When you do that, you hold yourself back from loving recklessly. You also are holding yourself back from the amount of love you are able to receive.

It’s not a big deal that your spouse loads the dishwasher a different way than you or folds the towels a different way than you. It’s not a big deal that he places the toilet paper a certain way that you wouldn’t normally place it. It really doesn’t matter.
