Clothing ideas for family photos?

[SunnyRain]

You said you're really pale, so don't do dark colours.

we have a pixiphoto family shot. Dh and I wore jeans (different colour denim). I wore a medium-tone olive green shirt with sleeves, dh wore a more beige toned shirt. Ds was 8 months, he wore beige corduroy pants and a dusty blue sweater with a light blue shirt collar.

All the colours were sort of muted, medium tones that were neither too dark nor too light. All those colours were complimentary to our skin tones.

We didn't look like a ridiculous family all dressed in matching costumes, but the overall theme of jeans, shirts and muted tones was very harmonious and looked excellent against a white backdrop.

I would recommend you all wear the same style and colour tones/shades. However if you all wear the same colour (eg. all in black or white) your bodies will blend together, so I would avoid that.

I always find dressing to suit your house helps too. For example if you plan on putting the photos in the lounge room and your colour palette in the lounge room is black and silver, then I would wear shades of grey, black and white. IYKWIM. You wouldn't want everyone in pink, it would look out of place.

As someone mentioned above blue's are great. Especially when mixed with white and little red.

Thanks for all the ideas everyone! We have two sets of outfits for the family shots picked out. A navy/red theme and a "shades of blue" theme. Both worn with jeans for all of us - except DS2 in the navy/red theme. We are going to take both and see how they go. I put some pics in an album here They aren't great pics (and I forgot to rotate ) but you get the general idea. My DH thinks the navy/red is a bit "cheesy" so we'll see how it looks in the pics?

I'll be happy if we get one good family shot, one good sibling shot and two or three of DS2
