Smart/casual for a family photo - a month post-partum

I have 3wk old baby and dh in his wisdom has booked a photo shoot for next week. Bless him, it is lovely but now I am in a mild panic as to what to wear.
They have said to avoid white or too much pattern. I suit bold colours more than pale colours as I am quite pale with blonde hair and my boobs are mahoosive at the moment. I'm quite happy that the rest of my body has gone back to pre-pregnancy size 12 that isn't even a stealth boast, I am amazed and delighted by this but the boobs look like they would need a separate passport! Confused
Dd1 is going to wear grey and bubblegum pink dress - can't find a link, dd2 is going to wear a duck egg blue dress. Dh says he will wear a grey shirt with no tie.
I have no idea what to wear.
I don't want to look at the photo in years to come and cringe at the fashion, I want to look smart/casual.
If anyone has any ideas, I'd be very grateful.

Does bright pink or turquoise suit you?

Turquoise is probably better but raspberry pink quite suits me too. Bold colours better than pale.

One last chance! I really don't want to go in my bra - blinking maternity soft cup useless thing!

Can you just pop on a normal bra, in the relevant size, just for the photos so you feel better?

I went for a newborn shoot when baby was 9 days old. I wore a black wrap nursing dress. Was feeding but wore a minimiser bra and spanx so I felt good. I got a blow dry and make up too for it.

Black came up well in the photos but have you looked at the seraphine dresses, they are besutiful ! I love the purple one, also a beautiful green one.

I'd go with raspberry pink/fuschia and put your dd2 in pink of some kind.
