Paulus

Is there anything more darling than bow ties and ruffles on your sweet littles? We are obsessed with the styling of the sweet Paulus family - mama did a fabulous job coordinating their outfits in a formal and fabulous way. Here are our favorite tips for how to style your kids head-to-toe for holiday portraits…

Incorporate youthful elements to their formal attire. The big beautiful bows on the girls and the barefoot choice for the baby are adorable details paired with their overall chic vibe.

Understand that kids will be kids. One of the cutest aspects of the Paulus kiddos’ portraits is the juxtaposition of a little man in a bowtie laying happily on his tummy and a sweet girl jumping for joy. So grown up, and yet so adorably tiny. Letting kids act their age results in a beautiful moment frozen in time that you will always cherish!

Embrace the chaos. Listen, family portraits are magical…but sometimes along the way, there’s a hint of joyful chaos that we lean into because to us, there’s nothing more precious than documenting your family as you are in this season. So we embrace the smiles, the snuggles, the jumping for joy, the running between sets, the happy shrieks, the tickle parties, and the occasional bubbly for mom + dad ;)
