The Blueprint for Effortless Family Style: No Stress, Just the Secret Recipe
What an absolute dream of a morning! This past weekend, we teamed up with House of Colour in their Billings West Location in Annafeld for our "Spilling the Tea on Styling" workshop, sipping fresh coffee from Maple Moose, diving deep into color palettes, and talking all things effortless family fashion.
If you weren’t able to join us this time around, don't worry—we had so much fun we are already looking forward to the next one!
THE POWER OF COLOR WITH HOUSE OF COLOUR
A huge highlight of the event was celebrating our collaboration with Kaitlyn from House of Colour. Kaitlyn provides life-changing color analysis and personal styling services designed to help you discover the exact palette that makes your skin glow, your eyes pop, and your confidence soar. Understanding your true seasonal colors is the ultimate foundation for building a wardrobe you love—and it makes choosing your photoshoot outfits completely foolproof!
WHAT WE COVERED
Beyond color, we broke down the true anatomy of an iconic photoshoot look. While finding your ideal color palette sets the foundational tone, mastering thoughtful coordination (saying goodbye to the "blob" look!), ensuring flattering fits, and layering in rich textures and details are what truly make your photos timeless. Seeing everyone bring their color fans and connect the dots with their seasons was the absolute highlight of the morning.
