I’m a professional photographer, so I’m going to chime in. I think all of your options are a little too dark and too patterned (except for your LO’s white shirt, of course). Be careful about too many patterns and stripes in your outfits. Below is the Pinterest board I send my clients when they don’t know what to wear. Coordinate, but don’t match. Wear neutral colors and don’t wear too many patterns/graphics.

I would also suggest that if you want to wear boots, they should be taller boots. You don’t want them cutting your body off at the wrong height. A taller boot will elongate your body. Or, wear heals.

I like the grey plaid shirt on your son, but for you I would go with a plain shirt in a medium/light colour. I've found from family photo shoots that onesies are easier on little guys because the shirts don't bunch up in weird ways as they move around. Where is the shoot going to be - outside, or in a studio?
This is what we did for our most recent one - I put my younger son in a pattern because it was his birthday shoot and I wanted him to stand out a little, and went plain for the rest of us.

I think the grey striped shirt is the most flattering on you. Based on that shirt, I would pick the white shirt for your boy. And the boots are cute. I wore borrowed boots for my family pictures even though I never wear boots. I just thought it would be fun and special for the pictures. Have fun! Picking out clothes can be the most stressful part!
