My turn for family photo outfits

[mrshandy]

It's not bad, but I think a different color dress would look better.

Or maybe some jeggings for your DD instead of the pink pants.

I don't feel like the pink & grey of your DD's dress goes well with what you have picked out for you & YH. Here it all is together:

How attached are you to these outfits? I think you could easily change out your DD's dress & keep the other outfits.

[aspentosh]

While I think they'd be ok, it doesn't look cohesive. I'd try and do a dress for your DD with maroon in it.

[justjen]

I just bought L a dress for our pics that I think would go well. It's target but I can't find it on the website. I'll try to take a pic at home later

Your DH is pretty neutral so I['m not too worried about that. But I agree about the color of your dress vs the pink in your DDs outfit. They don't look horrible together but they aren't that cohesive either.

[D2M]

I like it. Not matchy-matchy, but complementary. How do you feel in the dress? That's the most important part. If you feel awesome, wear it. Toddler will look adorable no matter what. How your H feels, that's just gravy.

I should have mentioned that the purple of my dress matches the purple of DD's dress IRL. I could go with a different grey for MH.

Oh, if that's the case, then I think it would be very cute.  I really wouldn't worry about matching the greys, though.  That, for me, puts you into the TOO matchy-match world.

It's the bright pink that's throwing me off. 

[aspentosh]

Oh, if the colors in her dress match yours that helps. Could she do purple/maroon/plum (what is that color?!) leggings to match the dress? Or maybe black? I think it's the bright pink in the leggings that is throwing me off.

But I am far from an expert and not so fashionable

[cincodemayo]

Ditto the others, I like the 2 dresses but change the leggings.

[aspentosh]

Which color is more true in the pictures? Your dress or the purple in her dress?

Maybe I can find leggings/tights.

I really like your outfits for you and your DD. Maybe something different for your DH? I feel it's kind of dark. Maybe a lighter gray or tan?

[Ashley&Scott]

I agree with aspentosh - purple tights or leggings for DD. And zarapipe is right, YH's sweater is too dark. I lighter grey would look great. What do you think of this? I added in a button down with purple under his sweater.

I adore your DD's dress. I would try to find darker leggings but I think its fine with pink. I agree with PP that I would do a lighter grey for DH.

I cant wait to see your pics.

[cilantro]

Haha well I'm doing something extremely similar, right down to same color sweater. So I vote that it will look fantastic. You using NS again?

Haha, I'm actually using KT from our knot days, a mini session.  I love NS but I couldn't stomach the cost again this year.  

Ugh yeah.  I'm trying to justify it by the fact that I scored free newborn pics.  In some alternate universe, this justification works out.

NB pics are expensive!  I think you're justified.  Plus, L is little now and that time is fleeting.  You can spend less when he's older and changing less rapidly.  

You're good at this!

I like the dress a lot.  I also have this, which might read more purple in photos:

I like the first dress better, personally.  Also, now that I read PP's suggestions, I like the idea of cream tights for your DD.  But honestly, I think it's a good combo overall.  When you all look and feel great, it doesn't matter if the colors aren't perfectly matchy-matchy.  We did shades of blue/turquoise in our recent (summery) family pics and they came out really well, although I bet if I posted our outfits beforehand, MMM would have had a conniption.

I think we might be at the same mini session, haha. 11/7?

Anyway, as promised, here's the target dress I think would look really good with your outfits. This is what L will be wearing

[holly116]

Honestly, I think what you had originally is fine. It doesn't have to be absolutely matchy matchy, kwim. I usually do exactly what you did, get a cute outfit for the kid and then pull a color out for myself and have DH in something kind of complimentary. I might add a touch of pattern, like a scarf or a button down under the sweater for either you or your DH because a good portion of the photos are b/w and I like a bit of texture in those.

Can't wait to see them! I'm sure you'll all look great!
