Getting family photos done ... what shall we wear?

I know, a crazy question!

For the two boys, it'll be jeans and tops. Should I get some done with them in a shirt as well as something more casual. The girls have no end of lovely clothes, so they're not a problem. Me ... do I go jeans and a top (if so, what would be nice - shirt, cardigan, layers - please can I have some suggestions) and maybe leggings, tunic and cardigan with boots as my second option? DH is a disaster ... he'll be in jeans and his Christmas shirt and jumper .

Do we try to co-ordinate at all or just do our own thing? The photographer is coming to the house for a morning and will photograph the children playing inside and out. We're not going for the studio/white background look so I don't think a fully co-ordinately (jeans and white t-shirts) approach will look right.

I'd love some suggestions - links for me please maybe to nice layering pieces which i can put with skinny jeans and boots and just some guidance on what will look smart and trendy for the boys (6 and 8 yrs)

Thanks!!

We all did jeans and t shirt combos. Ds in red and grey stripes, dh in green me in White and blue nautical stripes. It looked great in colour and black and White - I'd stick to simple patterns and contrasting rather than coordinating colours.
Hope they turn out lovely. We spent a fortune on ours!

watching with interest as we are doing the same soon and have no idea what I should wear

We had ours all in jeans of various shades of blue and the three boys wore again varying colour blue t shirts. DH wore a blue polo shirt and I wore a pretty whit top. The boys pics are on my profile page actualy. These were done in a studio though so the photographer sent us a little advice letter befor hand. Good luck and enjoy oh and the boys had bare feet .

Thanks. I had a lady do some photos at my house when I was pg with ds4 and she used a big black back drop and I wore dark blue trousers and one pic made me look like a pg torso floating in the air
