I have a secret for moms out there with small children when taking family photos. Wear jeans! You will be bending over, swinging, squatting, lifting and playing. You will be doing a lot of sitting...sitting on beds, sitting on blankets, sitting on chairs, sitting on benches. You get it, lots of sitting! Unless you're wearing a long dress or shorts, I've found that jeans are the easiest for photos. Or if you hate jeans, pants are an option. The darker the pants/jeans the more slimming they will be. Instead of worrying about flashing the camera, you can worry about wrangling your children to smile for a dang photo. Check out more tips about family photo outfits below!
