family picture

so this year for a christmas pic i would like to do a very casual shot.. the kids no longer "allow" me to dress them up.. at least the 3 big ones don't.. i was thinking black shirts with blue jeans.. what do you think.. and what kind of background would go with that??? thanks!

Re: family picture

I would do a red background.

Re: family picture

I think black shirts might not be a great idea. It's hard to distinguish where one starts/ends in black. We just did one all in white shirts with black pants. Cream colored worked too.

Or you can do them all in different colors. If you celebrate Christmas one in red, one in green, one in white, or something like that. Or you can do blue, white, silver. Khakis look real good in pictures too!!!!

Re: family picture

I vote for matching outfits for the whole family maybe red xmas jammies lolololololololol come on we suffered through it as kids!

Re: family picture

Is there any shirt they have with a color/theme running through it?

Like this photo, they're not all wearing the same color but all fall colors.

If not, I would put the 2 girls in the same color & the boys in black to at least break up the colors.

Re: family picture

to be honest, a lot of photographers at these places like to do the whole black shirt theme, bc then they choose a black background, and it makes everyones faces really pop in the pic....so its tough- im sure whatever u decided will be fine....maybe u can bring 2 shirts?! do a black themed one, and then something else...?
