Picture clothing help...plz!

For family pics....mid October. 

Should we do all solid colors?  same family (like all blues)? pick two  (like one for the boys, one for the girls?  

I had already bought shirts from Gap, several months ago, for the kids....the Dk denim shirts for girls (and khaki capris/pants) and White LS polo (is a cotton knit, not pique, with dk jeans for the boys).  Then was going to do like a dark teal with Jeans for me, and maybe a plaid (teal/tan/white small plaid) for DH with khakis.  Now I just don' know. 

Any thoughts/advice?  I also found a mustard-ish shirt I like for me..so maybe a yellow/blue white plaid for DH?  

DH is pretty dark, so I need to keep his clothing lighter, right?

 

 ETA: it will be outside...late morning. probably in a park (lots of trees) or big flower garden area.

I'm a fan of solid colors for pictures.  I think the less busy the clothing, the better.

We are doing a family photo this weekend including the four of us, my parents and my brother and his family.  We've gone back and forth so many times.  I think the final decision is white tops and denim bottoms for everyone.  Boring.  Pictures will be outside in a park.  I hope it works because I'm sick of debating it with my mom and my SIL!

I usually prefer solids as well,but I saw the outfit below and had to buy it for Casey to wear for our outdoor fall pics.  I figure he is small so a pattern won't be too much.  The rest of us are wearing jeans andthen sweaters using the colors in Casey's outfit (me- the orange, DH- the cream, and Carter the dark blue).

 I would have your DHs match either your shirt color (in a solid print) or the boys.  I think the yellow would look better than teal with what the kids are wearing.

We might be doing family photos in October too. I have no idea for outfits yet. I'd like to do solids for adults and maybe some sort of simple pattern for the kids, all coordinating. I really just posted here so I could come back and read replies.

I like to start by finding something fun for the kids that coordinates, and then figure out mom and dad from there.  Here's a pic of what we're wearing for our photos (minus the sweater for Cohen because I don't love it IRL).  I picked up that shirt for Cohen on clearance last fall because I loved the color scheme, and there were lots of colors to pull out from there.

Anyway, I like to get a little more adventurous that solid colors because, well, that's not us.

Fall outside, I would go with causl solids.  Jeans or khakis for pants and solids on top.  I would do something that would look nice with the fall colors so the brown or red families.  The mustard color you mention could also be great.  I would skip the blues for outside and same with white - white seems to summery for fall outside pictures.  I don't think everyone needs to be in the same color exactly but the same family of colors.
