What to wear for family photo??

[meira]

Please help.
I am agonizing about our first family photo. I am wearing this http://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/Womens-Dresses/Below-Knee-Dresses/WH269-DBL/Womens-Blueberry-Tropical-Maxi-Dress.html My husband will just wear jeans or khakis and a polo to coordinate.
We have three DDs ages 5, 3.5 and almost 2.
The pictures will be taken outside.
I am not against the girls matching, but would really like coordinating instead.
Looked at these for the girls http://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/Girls-Dresses/33157-WHT/Girls-White-Broderie-Summer-Dress.html but I also really like the Tea Collection catalog that came today.
(Sorry I don't know how to include the pictures)

Thanks in advance for your help. I am feeling very overwhelmed.

If it's outdoors just keep it solid and similar tones for everyone. It doesn't have to be the same color (that's starting to look dated already with everyone in khakis and white shirts) but you want the faces to stand out, not the clothes. A flattering color that blends with the others will be great. Don't stress - you'll only ever see the faces and hairdos.

I think denim dresses are really cute.

I think those boden dress you linked are cute! How about one in each color? Then you dh in jeans and a red polo?

Our most recent outdoor photos look great, imo, and we all just wore jeans and solid colored knit shirts in jewel tones. I wore a bluish purple, dh wore navy, ds1 wore gray and ds2 wore green. The similar cuts of the shirts helped to keep attention off of any individual's clothes- you weren't noticing a collar on one person, not on the other. All that said, I'd find something simple and solid but not matching. Like pp said, that Boden dress in every color could be cute.
