Despite the insanely hot weekend we just experienced here in Los Angeles, our brains are slowly starting to wrap themselves around the idea that the holidays are kinda sorta around the corner. We’ve been seeing a lot of photographers announce openings for fall photo sessions, so we thought today would be a perfect day to remind you what a great idea it is to take family photos during the fall to use as your holiday photo cards!

This session from Connection Photography is inspiring us on so many levels.

Mama’s pretty lace number is from Free People.

Those teepee’s are from B.E Little You and Me and Moozle.

Those flower crowns by Chelish Moore Flowers are amazing, right?

Let’s talk about Avery’s tiny, sparkly outfit. Her moccasins are from Shop Mini Moxie, the feather headband is from A Tiny Arrow, and her dress was designed and handmade by her mama.

We’ve got another sweet (and sparkly) photoshoot coming up later today to inspire all of you soon-to-be mamas, so keep an eye out for that!
