Loved everything colorful, bold and fun about this session . . .
not least of which was the part where one broke loose, rolled down a hill, and landed in mud.
But not before we captured a lot of magic, prints, patterns, and giggles on camera.

In all of our chat about what to wear for our holiday sessions, our Austin family photographer’s idea of the most noteworthy accessory? A smile!

For the Aghamalian family, there’s no shortage of that accessory. Ziem was thrilled to photograph this happy clan in their beautiful home after an introduction by mutual friends. Mama Aghamalian is very active in the community, serving as Dell Trust chair this year. Speaking of, aren’t you just loving all the Dell Miracle Book memories? Jenny’s care for others, starting at home, comes across on camera.

Indeed, the entire Aghamalian bunch is a fun-loving, photogenic crew who eagerly welcomed Ziem into their home. The girls, dressed in matching monogrammed attire, first led Ziem to their rooms to show her their prized possessions. Brother Dash, however, was a little shy initially but soon warmed up then took Ziem on a tour as well. The original baby of the family, Daphne the Dog, also joined in on guide duties.
Next, the Aghamalians treated Ziem to one of their favorite activities – golf carting around the neighborhood. Between that and their home’s ample natural light, seems like the setting couldn’t have been better for showcasing this loving bunch.

After the session ended, Big Sister conducted a family poll about their Austin family photography experience – and gave Ziem five out of five stars! Our photographer-in-chief couldn’t have asked for a better review or client experience. In the end, those smiles just make the session. In case you missed the sneak peek . . .

Holiday photo wardrobe ideas can be a chore. You’ve finally booked yourself an Austin photographer, and you’re still working on convincing your son (ok, *my* son) that neon Under Armour is not holiday photo appropriate. To help ease your holiday burden, today we’re sharing some holiday photo wardrobe ideas and tips for dressing for Faux Fall, part 2.
Tip 1: Dress for a Timeless Look, Not the Holidays
First, remember that these photos will hang in your and your children’s grandparents’ houses all year. As much as we love those holiday signs of cheer like reindeer and candy canes, better to save those for class parties. That is, unless you’re on board with Christmas in July (or all sports apparel all the time, in the case of my beloved son).

Tip 2: Add Neutrals to Traditional Holiday Colors to Keep Things Timeless
Second, to pull off the holiday look while maintaining a classic feel, add neutral colors to offset those red, green, or gold tones which yell “falalalala.” Shades of navy, black, gray, or tan all add a contemporary twist to the holiday usual. Consider adding a trendy metallic to the mix, the glitter of which subtly brings to mind that holiday sparkle.

Tip 3: Layer on Accessories to Add Texture and Holiday Feel
Third, consider adding “fall” accessories like scarves or tights to add texture, pattern, and holiday feel. Tights serve both functional and flattering purposes – they both ward off any chill and make legs appear longer. Trendy faux fur can also add an insta-holiday pop when the weather isn’t quite there yet – yes, I’m looking at you, Faux Fall in Texas!

Tip 4: Always Try on Clothes Before Your Shoot
We repeat Ziem’s top tip here because it’s just that important. If you and your kids – ok, especially the kids – aren’t happy in your clothes, that will come across on camera. Austin family photographer Ziem loves working with clients on picking just the right outfits; please feel free to send her any questions as you plan your shoot’s look.
With these tips in mind, your holiday card will not only impress friends and family – the entire point, right? – but will also become treasured keepsakes in your home.
