Style Board Inspiration – July 2021

June 7, 2021

July style board inspiration is here! Some of these pieces may be preorder, and may sell out quickly. If you see something you like, don’t hesitate. These links will not be updated.

Even if you don’t love these exact pieces, they’ll always serve as a great jumping off point for planning the outfits for your session.

I say it often, outfit choices make a huge difference in the outcome of your photos. If you love the work I share, and want it for your own photos, helping you select outfits is a part of my process.

Outfits can be found here:

These seasons with your family are fleeting.

I know that sounds like something you see on a sign at HomeGoods, but I mean it in the most practical, un-cheesy way possible: the version of your kids that exists right now will be different in six months.

The way your toddler laughs, the way your baby fits in the crook of your arm, the way your whole family piles onto the couch on a Tuesday night - it changes. Gradually and then all at once.

These photos were taken of my daughter on her last week of kindergarten this year. Her playful spirit, in her bedroom, wearing the dress she wore for their Peter Rabbit end of year program. All the sweetness of the year in a few snapshots. I will love them forever.

The photos I make for families are not about having a perfect day or a perfect outfit or perfect kids. They are about stopping long enough to say: this was us, right here, in this season.

That is worth something.

If you have been thinking about it, reach out. We will find a time that works for real life.

He studied everything first — the trees, the park, me — before he decided we were okay. And then? That smile. 💛 Loved capturing this family`s time with their au pair under the soft Tallahassee light.

A few things I am loving lately that are helping me move through the juggling act with a little more sanity:

A single charging base on my nightstand. One cord. One base. Phone, Apple Watch, AirPods... all done. I waited way too long to make that little switch.

And honestly? The Chattanooga trip. Getting out of the daily routine and being intentional about time with my husband reminded me that those moments do not happen on their own. You have to actually put them on the calendar.

What is helping you feel more grounded lately? A mindset shift, a habit, a snack you are unreasonably committed to? Hit reply or drop it in the comments - I am always adding to my list.
