Outfits for 4 in under $110.

Family portraits are essential!  They transform a house into a home, put the people you hold most dear to your heart on your walls, create conversation between guests at dinner parties or family gatherings and MOST importantly, they tell the story of your family in the moment that you were captured by the camera.

Your family portraits are a very important investment!  Careful planning should go into what each person will wear for the big event.  In the spirit of this, I wanted to challenge myself to see if I could dress an imaginary family of four for less than $100.  You might ask why I would be inclined to do so.  First of all, yes, I did like paper dolls when I was little and this experience brought me back to the fun I used to have in playing them.  But, in all honesty, I would rather see your family's hard earned "moola" used to order the perfect prints, canvases and frames to illustrate the experience you had caught on camera, than a receipt or two from your shopping trip showing outrageous prices.

The bad news...I came in $5.45 over budget.  The good news... there are affordable clothes out there and it doesn't take a whole lot of looking!
