  I would totally go for the jeans with white shirts look if you're going to be outdoors.  It's timeless and you won't look back in years and go WTF was I wearing?

  I have to disagree, white can really wash you out unless you have darker/olive skin.  But I would go with solid colors, no patterns that might date.  I saw one recently that was really cute, you wear red, DH wears blue, and LO wears purple.  So if you wear a red top, put DH in a bright blue polo, and LO in a purple dress.  Like, blue and red make purple?

  For instance:

  Okay, so in this instance, it's blue, pink, purple, but you get the idea.

  Ditto PP - solid colors, no patterns.  As far as colors themselves, that's just a personal preference.  I prefer family pictures where there are a couple/few colors (or shades of the same color) so it's not too matchy-matchy. 

  We're having family pictures taken next Wednesday and I'm still mulling over what to wear.  DS is wearing his birthday outfit (navy blue gingham romper with an embroidered bear), and I think I'm going to bring jeans or denim overalls with a plain shirt.  I still have no idea what DH and I are going to wear, other than that we're thinking jeans and solid color shirts.  It might be easiest to go with navy or white for both of us, but I don't want to be too matchy-matchy.
