I was FINALLY able to nail down a date for family photos w/ our photographer & I am finally pretty happy with our outfit choices! (I posted awhile back but still wasn't settled).
My dress is officially on the way (fingers crossed it fits) & all I gotta do is order DH's shirt, G's & my shoes, & DH's bracelets (which I may DIY instead). So excited!
These will be our first family photos since DH & I got MARRIED!
Any thoughts or changes to the outfit choices?

Im not too sure about the graphic onesie. Everything else is stripes or plaid ....?

@sera_87: Eek! I actually chose everything around P's outfit! Mainly colors... everything else just kinda ended up stripes/plaid b/c I couldn't find anything solid in the colors (her cardi is seriously hard to match.. lol) This is definitely not my department though (part of the reason we don't have pics). I know that when she's wearing it you can't really see the graphic... think that makes a difference?
ETA: P does also have her birthday dress that I guess she could always wear too if the onesie ends up clashing once we're all side by side. So atleast I have a fallback! lol

I love the colour choices! I agree that the onesie stands out a little, but I don't think that's a bad thing! Especially if the little cardigan covers up most of the design, it will just be a cute solid colour. Love it!

omg SOOO cute!! I adore your dress - where did you get it?
I love P's onesie - but I DO agree with others that maybe a striped onesie (black and white maybe?) would be a little cuter - but I actually love it as is!
You did a really great job!

@Mrs. Pen: Target! It's a junior size & all that was left was L & XL. I wasn't confident the M would fit anyways so I got the L. They also had a darling gray one & mint green one in this stye!
I think I will probably put P in her birthday outfit instead. I think then we'll all look a bit dressier but still not too formal since I'll be in flats, the boys will be in jeans, & P will probably be in her chucks (I just love them so much). =)

@runsyellowlites: I think there should always be one person in family photos that is "the wild card." They should be wearing a piece that matches but is either a bit brighter or a bolder pattern compared to the rest.
so, I think p's outfit is perfect and it will photograph really well.

@Rainbow Sprinkles: What a great blog post! It definitely makes me feel better about P's outfit!!!
@Mrs. Pen: @redsmarties: @sera_87: Ugh, unfortunately, we went to penney's to try on my shoes & take a look at DH's shirt & his shirt is a COMPLETELY different color irl! (They're having an online only sale so I wanted to check before ordering). We scoured the store & found him this dress shirt instead... It's a bit lighter in person but still clearly a dark/charcoal grey (which is what I was wanting so he'd match my sweater).
What do you ladies think?
Here's the online image
And then the irl pic we took

@HLK208: You think the new shirt works? I'm so upset about the first shirt not being the color it looked in the online image! =/

Here's the update board, so you ladies can see the new shirt for DH next to everything else.

@runsyellowlites: totally, it goes nicely with your shirt - but I'd probably have DS further away from DH since too much plaid can look busy

@HLK208: Hmm I definitely want them to go well together for shots of just them, maybe a solid shirt would be better for DH?

I love the photographic onesie! I think the pop of color is perfect for your littlest one and I love the matching accessories! I can't wait to see the pictures!

Eek! So cute! I didn't read all the responses, but I like the men's shirt in the middle of your collage the best.
