The weather has definitely changed (it snowed this week here in Seattle!) and I feel like it went from fall to winter real quick. I’m happy that I stocked up on some winter pieces for me and my girls so that we were prepped for the cold!

We still have a bit of fall hanging around as you can see from the leaves in the photos but the chill in the air is here which is why I love puffer coats!

It is that time of year again for Spring pictures! My family and I take photos every year during the Spring as well as the Holiday season and I am always so happy to have the beautiful memories to look back on.
If you are planning to take photos this season as well, I’ve rounded up tons of ideas and inspiration on what to wear for Spring pictures.
Whether you have a big family or are taking photos by yourself, this post will be helpful to you! You want to make sure that you feel your best in what you’re wearing for pictures as that confidence comes through in the photos.
Check out my tips for taking pictures and my outfit ideas below. These are all great ideas for the spring when the weather warms up and also great ideas for some adorable mommy and me easter outfits too!
Pin the above photo to your fave Pinterest board to refer back to when you are prepping for your next spring pictures!
Key Details to Consider Before Planning Outfits for Photos
Season – Time of year plays a roll in the weather and of course you want all outfits to be weather appropriate, especially if you are outside
Location – The location of your photos is important for multiple reasons. Will you be inside or outside? Outfits will differ depending on this detail. Also, what will your “backdrop” look like? You want to stand out and not blend in to the background, but also wear something appropriate to fit the style and theme of the place
Occasion – Are you mailing out themed holiday cards, or planning to frame these in your home? Keep this in mind while planning your outfits so it feels appropriate
Color Palette – The color scheme is also important for many reasons and different factors will alter this. Be sure to consider your backdrop/location and the season/occasion. Whether it be neutral tones, bright colors or soft pastels, you of course will want the colors/hues that flatter all of the members of your family, and that coordinate well together
If you are taking Spring family photos, these outfit ideas can work great for the whole family! When it comes to taking a family portrait and coordinating multiple family members, my advice is always to make sure that everyones personal style still comes through even if you are very coordinated via a matching color/theme.
spring family photo outfits
As you can see in the photo above, we are all wearing different outfits but the colors compliment each other and my daughters dresses have the same silhouette – little details like this can help to bring all different looks together into one cohesive feel.
Where to buy spring family photo outfits
Here are some great stores that carry outfits for the whole family so you can do some one stop shopping!
H&M – trendy & affordable pieces from casual to dressy
Old Navy – Great for basics and they even carry shoes!
Buddy Love – not a huge selection but their family matching section has the cutest prints and styles
Amazon – If you search for “family matching outfits” you will get a ton of cute and affordable options
Target – Always great styles and options however, shop early in the season as I find things sell out so fast!
Walmart – Walmart has quickly become one of my favorite spots for finding affordable and cute clothing options for the entire family. You can find some things in store but I find a ton more online!
8 Outfit Theme Ideas to Wear for Spring Pictures:
My girls and I take photos all of the time, so I rounded up some of my favorites of all of our Spring themed looks to share a bunch of ideas and inspiration for outfit themes for your next Spring pictures. Keep in mind that these outfits can work no matter how many people are in your group.
For Spring pictures especially, I love to focus on fun colors and that compliment gorgeous nature scenes in the background. The Spring season is the best time to get outside and as the temperatures rise it is the perfect time to embrace the new season.
#1 All One Color
A really popular theme for family pictures is to coordinate the color scheme and all wear one color! This is a great choice if you have lots of family members to coordinate as it makes it easy and instantly gives a cohesive feel.
lavender outfit ideas
As you can see below, my girls and I did a Spring photoshoot and all wore lavender. This is a color we all love and feels festive and appropriate for the Spring season. Choose whatever color that you &/or your family loves and work around that! It is totally okay if the shades are slightly off, it will still look great all together in the photos.
#2 Mixed Prints
A great way to highlight individual family members personalities is to go for a mixed print theme! As seen below, I wore florals and my daughters wore polka dots. Because their dresses were multi-colored and mine was mostly pink, they still complimented each other even though we did not match perfectly.
mixing prints outfit ideas
My best advice if you want to try the mixed prints route, is to find prints that don’t compete with each other but compliment each other. You can do this by mixing different textures, finding colors that compliment each other and not having too many different contrasting colors in one group.
#3 Bright Colors
In my mind, Spring = bright and fun happy colors! A good pop of color always comes across great on film, and is perfectly festive for the Spring season. Bright colors add life to the photo and give a great focal point. They also look fantastic against natural elements, such as trees/florals if you are outside!
bright colors for family pictures
As seen below, my girls and I rocked bright pinks and their dresses featured rainbow colors. You could do this same idea with a pastel palette as well which would be gorgeous for a Spring theme. Whether you prefer warmer tones or lighter colors, focusing on mixing colors that compliment each other is the best way to get that cohesive look and bring together the entire family.
#4 Spring Florals
Florals for Spring are a timeless feel that are always so fun. My girls and I actually wore matching floral dresses in our photo below which I really loved, but you don’t have to be exactly matching to do this outfit theme!
As much as I love matching mommy and me outfits, you could mix and match different florals that have similar color palettes, and for the men in your life you could do floral printed boy’s shirts to keep the theme going.
floral print dresses for mommy and me
When it comes to florals, I like to focus on prints that feel soft and pretty as opposed to looking too busy or bold. The florals should add an element to the overall theme but not overtake it. This is one of my top tips when it comes to wearing a matching print for the whole family.
#5 Casually Coordinated
I love our casual photo shoots just as much as our dressed up ones, as we are typically in casual wear and these photoshoots always seem to capture us in our natural element. For spring photos and a casual spring themed outfit, denim and feminine detailed tees are the perfect go to! My girls wore little button front skirts with ruffled sleeved tops in light colors, and I wore my favorite distressed denim and puffed sleeved tee. These elevated basics are perfect for the Spring season and all look great together even though they are not exactly the same.
#6 Gingham
Gingham is a very popular print for Spring and I absolutely love the way it looks it photographs. We did a yellow gingham theme as shown below and they are truly some of our favorite photos we have! I love the visual interest that this print brings and that is feels so classic and timeless. This is also an easy print for everyone in the family to wear. Whether its a fully printed dress, or just a printed pocket square in dads blazer – this print can be sprinkled throughout the group to create a cohesive feel.
#7 Dressed Up + Denim
My go to outfit in the Spring is a pretty Spring dress + a denim jacket. It’s the perfect layer for the season, and makes sense for almost every occasion. Take this approach to your next family photo session and you have the perfect effortlessly stylish spring pictures outfit.
As seen below, my daughter and I wore pleated pink skirts, t-shirts and denim jackets in our family photoshoot. I loved that we were fully matching – even down to our purse! You could create this same look with a flowy dress, or cute wide leg pants and a tank with a denim jacket on top.
When it comes to Spring pictures, don’t stress and just have fun with it! Creating these memories is the most important thing and all you truly need is your smile – AKA your best accessory.
If you recreate any of these looks please tag me on instagram @tiffanyish so I can see them! Happy Spring.

Back to school shopping can be a bit stressful and I try to make it easy by doing all my shopping at Walmart. I not only stock up on all the school supplies we need but also the cutest outfits for back to school.
This post is in partnership with Walmart. All opinions are my own.
I have been continually impressed with the styles and quality of clothes from Walmart and am always checking out their site for new styles!
Casual and fun fall outfit idea
Layla is a girly girl and would much rather wear skirts and dresses over jeans. I loved this tutu dress (that comes in 4 colors) and added a jean jacket for a fun casual look.
I had to get some fun accessories like these shoes and backpack to add to her outfit! She just loves the rainbow colors and especially the big bow on her shoes.
Sparkles for fall
Layla is never afraid to wear sparkle so when I spotted this sequin jacket, I knew we had to have it! It’s adorable and so affordable! I want to get the other colors now! It paired well with her tutu dress and made it fun to change up her look even with the same outfit.
Trendy Kid’s Outfit Idea
A pleated skirt is a cute fall outfit idea and it’s so comfy! Layla just loved this sweatshirt and skirt combo and didn’t want to take it off!
I just love the pairing of the polka dots and the skirt, it’s such a cute combo and perfect for fall! The sweatshirt comes in 4 colors and is under $12!
I couldn’t help but join Layla and a little matching mommy and me outfit.
Walmart has such fun styles for back to school. It’s such a great place to shop, especially with kids growing so fast, to have affordable options and so many cute and trendy pieces!
We are doing a lot of back to school prep and clothes shopping always makes me realize how big my oldest is getting as she basically jumps up to the next size which I’m just not ready for!
Layla loves to dress herself but we always shop together for her outfits and I’ve been loving the selection at Walmart. I’ve been able to find not only lots of basics but a great variety of trendy styles that Layla loves. And I’m loving the quality and price point! Everything is so affordable so I’ve been picking up everything from her clothes, shoes and accessories from Walmart!
This post is in partnership with Walmart. All opinions are my own.
When I was shopping for Layla I couldn’t resist to add a few things for myself! I’m loving so many cute styles and how affordable everything is!
Casual and cute for back to school
These off the shoulder tops are not only cute and trendy but so comfy too! And of course, we are all still obsessed with tie dye which is why we love these tops so much.
A tie dye top, slim jeans and fun sneakers is the perfect outfit for school, and don’t forget about the fun backpack too!
Tie Dye tops for Moms and Girls
Recess Ready Dresses
My daughter prefers to wear dresses most days of the week so I’m always looking out for dresses that she can run and play in. I love these stretchy lightweight dresses that she can wear and feel comfy all day.
When the weather cools down it will be so cute with a jean jacket and some knee high socks. I always have to mention how much I love her fun silver sneakers! Not only are they so cute and go with all her outfits, she has been loving wearing them everywhere!
I also found a bunch of fun tops for myself! I just love these trendy pieces and everything is under $20!
We are so excited to get ready for back to school even if it might look a little different this year, however shopping for new school clothes is always a fun and exciting thing to do together!
Matching pajamas are so cute but what’s even cuter are mommy and me Valentine’s pajamas!
It’s always such a fun surprise for the girls when I can match with them. I just love creating these memories of all the ways we celebrate Valentine’s Day together. Plus, it is so fun to look back through all of our photos from our holiday mornings and remembering these special moments.
Here you will find a round up of fun and festive pajama sets I found not only for your girls, but for moms too!
These would make great gifts for the lovely ladies in your life, or just to treat yourself and your minis for the day. Check them out below.
How cute are these heart print pjs?! The colors are so fun and they are really great quality. Layla was so excited when she saw these pajamas and I know we will get a ton of use out of them even after Valentine’s Day.
I just love when I can find matching sets that work for both of my girls. I am taking full advantage of them matching (and even matching with me) while I can!
Where to buy matching Valentine’s Pajamas for mommy and me:
Amazon is my go-to for many things like mommy and me outfits! And you can find a ton of mommy and me pajamas options. Here are some of my favorites. Your little one can even getting matching pajamas for their dolls!
Nordstrom is another store I get a lot of my pajamas from. Prices can be a bit higher, but the quality is always really nice and lasts through many washes. You can find the cutest matching mommy and me slippers too!
Hanna Andersson is always a favorite for matching family pajamas. They usually have new ones for each holiday. Their valentine pajamas have cute heart prints that come in different colors.
In my opinion, they make some of the best quality pajamas for kids! The colors never fade and they never shrink, no matter how many times I wash them! They also have some of the best family holiday pajamas! I get matching pajamas for all of us every year.
Primary is very similar to Hanna Andersson in quality and color, but way more affordable! I get a lot of my girls basics (tees, leggings and pajamas) there and I love their family matching pajamas too!
A few other favorite places for mom and kids pajamas are:
Zulily – Their selection is huge but changes pretty much daily as they have limited time sales. I recommend downloading the Zulily app or checking in on the website daily to make sure you don’t miss out on the good deals!
Nordstrom Rack – They have such great deals! And a huge selection for both women and kids. You can find a lot of great brands that you find at Nordstrom but for a much better price.
Target – truth be told, I’m kind of obsessed with Target’s loungwear sets but they also have a lot of cute pajamas, especially for Valentine’s day. I will say to shop them early though as the women and the kids pajamas sell out fast!
You don’t really need to find exact matching pajama sets, it’s actually more fun to mix and match with your kids! You can find cute Valentine pajamas at all so many of your favorite stores! I just like to keep an eye out on certain patterns or colors and then get them for me and my kids.
