Outfit details and ways to repurpose your photos!
The extreme planner in me had our Christmas card family photoshoot booked for November 2nd with one of our go-to photographers, the talented Melissa Kay Photography. It was a Wednesday, so because Kris needed to meet us straight from the office, I had the SUPER fun task of getting three kids ready and out the door SOLO. Did I mention I also had to shower and dress!? There was two carpool lines, a busted nap and a few moments of thin patience -- but we made it to the shoot just before sunset and captured some wonderful moments!
My Outfit - I put all my energy into the kids outfits and last minute ended up wearing a pair of desert colored Hudson mid-rise coated jeans I recently snagged on sale from Nordstrom ($99 marked down from $225). Paired with a white puff-sleeve cropped cardigan sweater from Abercrombie and white Vince Camuto booties (both the cardigan and boots are no longer in stock but I've linked similar looks). Finishing my outfit is a basic-B Gucci belt and one of my favorite necklaces from local jewelry designer, Anna, of Lorak.
These photos not only served as our Christmas card, but I also made custom gifts for the family from Shutterfly, including calendars, ornaments, stocking stuffers for the boys and more! I will be sure to snap some photos and add them to this blog post once the gifts arrive. Scroll to QUICK TAKEAWAYS section for a money savings tip.
Merry Christmas from the Knepper Krew!
