What to Wear in Family Photos : 3 Tips for Dressing Moms

The question most frequently asked by clients – What to Wear in Family Photos? Fashion blogger Nasreen is here to the rescue and she’s sharing her top three tips for assembling outfits, starting with Mom.

Know of a mom who can’t help but make sure her children are fed before sitting down to eat a cold meal? I would wager she plans her outfits for family portraits last, grabbing something “OK” from her closet last-minute because it coordinates well with the rest of the family. That is every mom but that doesn’t have to be you when planning what to wear in family photos this Fall. The options for dressing children are endless and dads typically keep it basic, so give this new order of business a shot and I’m sure you’ll be pleased with the results! After you take a few notes, be sure to check out @heynasreen on Instagram.

Austin Lifestyle Family Photographer || Milk Bath Photography

Looking for a Lifestyle Family Photographer in Austin to capture the essence of motherhood? Contact z@ziemphotography.com or 850.319.4591 to book a session.

There’s so much to love about this milk bath session – I don’t even know where to begin. From her impeccable hair and flawless makeup, to her stunning dress and gorgeous baby, Cathy helped me bring to life the most dream-like shoot. The subdued elegance of the milk bath water revealed her feminine form while concealing parts of the body we wanted to mask. We also wove in white roses and green leaves and  result was a gentle texture among muted tones. Doesn’t she look amazing simply soaking and snuggling with this new tiny life?

If this baby isn’t perfection, I don’t know what is. He was so snuggly and sweet that my girls (and husband, too) have been asking for a baby since.

Austin Maternity Photographers | Shawn + Mary

Seems like yesterday when I met these college sweethearts at their wedding! When you get to be a big part of a couple’s wedding day, you can’t help but remember small details about them. They have a seemingly “unhealthy” obsession with their dog. Mary is a vegetarian. Her sister was the cutest-pregnant-matron-of-honor. Shawn very much adores his wife. I gave up weddings shortly thereafter to achieve a better work/life/family balance and decided to focus on family portraiture.

Back-To-School Photo Session 2017

What a summer it’s been for these girls. From being flower girls in their uncle’s wedding, to celebrating their grandfather’s 79th birthday in Alaska and Canada, to two Florida trips in one summer, and art, gymnastics and bible camp in between, I’m amazed we found the energy and time for our annual back-to-school photo session. It happened, in large part, due to an awesome friend who happened to have all these vintage props and who willingly assisted me in pulling it off on short notice.  One more sleep until first day of 2nd grade and Pre-K 4. I just adore these photos of the Malkani and Lee girls!
