You guys, my Christmas cards are all ready to hit the mail!! Check that one off the holiday list! I continue to use Minted every year. In my opinion, they have the highest quality card stock and picture quality. Plus, I love their card designs! We went with a velum overlay card this year and I just love how they turned out! There are so many cool new styles – I also love the letterpress and foil cards!

A huge time saver is the ability to pre-print addresses from your address book. We also added the printed return addresses and custom stamps. Aaron helped me in a little assembly line and we were done in under 30 minutes! I plan to mail them out the first week of December and am excited to start receiving cards in the mail!

We used one of our favorite local photographers, Stacie Kinney, to capture these adorable shots. She has a classic style and my favorite shots are always the portraits she gets of the kids. Her white indoor studio lends the perfect backdrop. And how perfect are those green velvet chairs?! Check out more of her work here!

Do you guys take family pictures? They are always so much work, but so worth it in the end! We have done outdoor pictures the last couple years, and I love the holiday colored outfits in the studio to change it up! These feel a little more timeless to me! Our outfits are all linked in case you need ideas!

XO, Brooke
