Help me with our family pictures!!

[cookiemonster80]

I'm having trouble finding something I feel good in for our family pictures that matches everyone else. ETA- the black things are darkwash jeans and a navy pullover for DH

I'm by far most comfortable in the first picture with the grey blue sweater and feel like I look best in it-but am not sure it goes with the 2 blues in the girls dresses- does it??

I don't have to be matchy matchy but does need to blend well.

The other 2 I feel equally about. Give me your thoughts and opinions!http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161019/4edd347051cb7ea83dd47a262f91ea9b.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161019/bfe99595a31c030c68f384850f1442a5.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161019/e3894664f1dd9c733ca57d4131b87c98.jpg

The 3rd looks the best color wide bc of the pink but I think the black is what's throwing me most as I think navy would look better. Actually, jeans could do too especially a dark wash.

They are darkwash jeans and the pullover on the top is also navy

I think the 3rd pic looks most coordinated. But, I don't think the first option looks bad or clashes, if it's what you feel best in. You will likely take a better pic if you feel comfortable [emoji4]

I think 3 looks the most coordinated. But with #1 if you added a scarf or statement necklace w/ the red or bright blue, and if your DH had just a peak of color under the zipped pullover, then I think that would work too. As it is, the 2 kids outfits will pop and yours will fade to the background.

Also think about how you might be posed. The typical family pose always places the kids seated in front the parents so you don't see very much of the parents' outfits. However, if you are doing a pose where you will all be side by side (like walking holding hands) then you'll be seeing a lot/all of your outfits.

[twowhat?]

Go with the first. You feel best in that outfit and that will come across in the pictures. The combination looks nice (it's actually my favorite of the 3 options)!

[mom2binsd]

I like the first, although what about a denim shirt and khaki colored pants for your DH. My problem with the third is the tan blazer, they don't always photograph well, and add bulk.

[baymom]

The first is my favorite. I agree with PP that adding a pop of blue or red with a statement necklace or scarf would pull it things in nicely. Especially if you had one color and your DH wore the other peaking through under his pullover.

[elbenn]

I have the same impressions as everyone else--that #3 looks best coordinated, but that #1 is fine and if you vastly prefer the top in #1, wear what you like.

Ok- what about adding the striped tights from picture 2/3 to picture 1 instead of the pink leggings. Then add a denim/light blue shirt under your husband's pullover.

[bigsis]

I like the 3rd one :)

I thought about that but thought perhaps the tights where too bright blue and might make my grey blue sweater look more out of place- yes or no??

And yes I was going to do light blue- his shirts are so easy I was just going to get everyone else sorted first. But someone recommended that he wear khakis which i do think would be better than the jeans i has in mind.

[WitMom]

Can you re-post a picture of outfit 1, with his sweater and shirt together, and then the blue/white striped tights? Just for a visual.

[mom2binsd]

Maybe add a scarf or statement necklace in the red/pink color that is in the girls outfits to your sweater?

I wouldn't have him layer a denim shirt and the pullover, again too much bulk. If he does a denim shirt or blue shirt definitely khaki or tan pants, as jeans and a denim top don't always look right.

[cookiemonster80]

Ok- outfit 1 with a few shirt options for under the pullover- I'm not worried about adding bulk- he weighs 140lbs...

I also put a closeup of the 2 statement necklaces i think would work best. I'm not a scarf person but can find some sort of necklace if these don't work. That is a good idea http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161020/7411b5a7dc267558a1f5a7671ddf0181.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161020/4d047e8aeeb37da7490ec40d980aca16.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161020/f3a71b80502e632c89c8b3f0e56007c3.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161020/945458ddc9a7334459de50a7ecabd87c.jpg


Thank you everyone for your suggestions!!!! Keep them coming!!

[WitMom]

The necklace and your husbands shirt(s) help pull it all together!!!!I think I like the all pink necklace, and no real preference for your husband's shirt. I do think I might switch out the striped tights for plain cream or white- whatever your other daughter is wearing. And then I think you have a winner.

[gamma]

I prefer the sweater with the statement necklace better for you. I find that jackets don't hang right during seated poses. I like the colors that you chose.

[KpbS]

Pink necklace for you and lighter blue shirt for DH. I like PP suggestion of cream tights for both DDs. More unifying for the blues you have going on. Like it.

[mom2binsd]

Pink necklace, the other one won't show up much in the pics and the pink pulls in the girls outfits!

Do you have black booties? I'm wondering if the tan ones with the black pants and the grey sweater looks a little choppy! I really like that sweater of yours!

I do have black booties but the pants are actually darkwash jeans- they do look black in these pictures though

Looks great with the necklace!

[wendibird22]

Looks great with the solid colored necklace. I like either the small/light stripe shirt or the lighter solid blue shirt for your DH.

[mom2binsd]

I think the black booties would be better.
