Fall family photograph outfits

[karinothing]

We are going to a pumpkin patch/apple farm for DS 1 year pictures. I was hoping you ladies would have some great suggestions.

I think I want to wear dark skinny jeans w/brown boots but that is about as as far as I have gotten. Oh, I also want something with 3/4 sleeves or long sleeves so my arms don't look huge.

Any suggestions?

As far as colors to go with the orange of the pumpkin patch, and possibly leaves on the ground, I think navy, crimson red, or burgundy would be a nice color scheme, with maybe gray as a neutral.

Oh, I like this idea a lot. For the 6 month pictures we did blue and orange, which I guess sounds odd but I think it works. I started with the baby's oufit and designed around that.

I think I want him in dark jeans and some kind of brown/burgundy sweater. But I can't find the right sweater yet.

ETA: Gap does have this one, but I was thinking something with stripes for him? www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=8777&vid=1&pid=914771002

I love that sweater. I think that would be a striking color.

We didn't do a pumpkin patch for our pictures last fall but I did the kids in sapphire blue. DS wore a striped blue/white dress shirt and black chords. He has blue eyes so his eyes stood out big time. DH & I were in grey shirts with blue jeans.




ETA: have you talked to the photographer? We talked about outfits prior to our session for clothing ideas.

We did ours a few weeks ago and while we weren't at a pumpkin patch, we were on a trail in the woods with fall colors. We went the navy/white/blue/denim route. I'll attempt to post a pic...

A lot of photographers will put together suggested color schemes. I found some in Google images www.google.com/search?q=fall+family+photo+clothing+ideas&hl=en&prmd=imvns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=7uNqUMGmBIiu9AS224GYAw&ved=0CB0QsAQ&biw=1680&bih=869

Me again...we also did fall pics last year and the boys both wore cheap long sleeve orange t-shirts from Target and they turned out great. Another pic...

bri - I love the idea of a blazer for me. That one is super cute! I am still kind of self-concious about the post baby bod and I think a blazer would help with that (plus the right one gives me good waist definition).

You guys all have such cute kids! I like the idea of orange but I wonder if it will be too much with the pumpkin patch (plus we did bright orange/blue for the last pictures) so I want something different.

I feel like so many of the 12 month sweaters look Christmasy, which sucks.

Kari -- I got the blazer at Target for like $20! I wear it all the time and also like to hide my baby-pooch! Orange might be a lot at the pumpkin patch -- I agree. And I also LOVE the little cable knit sweater...I might have to pick one up for my little one for Christmas pics!

Good thing I work next door to Target. Lunch trip!
