sneak peek :: the hernandez family :: disneyland :: 2010

we had been planning for months.
it was hot.
the boys were troopers.
we melted.
we laughed.
did i mention it was hot?
little people cried.
little people had ice cream.
little people squealed with delight.
it was the happiest place on earth...:)

we love them more than words can say.

fall 2010 :: what to wear

your session is booked.
location is set.
now the inevitable question looms....
what to wear?

my first suggestion is ALWAYS to wear what you love. let your kids wear what they love. and SURELY let dad wear what he loves....within reason. :) bottom line is you want your session to feel like {you}....

If your baby girl LOVES to wear tutus....find one that will work with what everyone else is wearing -- or work around the colors in her favorite {tutu outfit}.

If big brother really wants to wear his cowboy boots....we'll make it work!

If dad only wears shorts {although I've been known to ask my darling husband to AT LEAST ditch the camo ones! :)} then go with it.....we want him to be happy, too. :)

But just in case you're looking for some guidance, here are a few looks fall looks for inspiration...



:: where to find :: {dad} old navy shirt {mom} anthro dress {big brother} gymboree {little brother} gymboree



:: where to find :: {dad} old navy shirt {mom} anthro pants/shirt/blazer {big sister} peasant dress {baby sister} peasant dress
