Xp: matching clothes vs coordinating clothes for family photo shoot

We are doing a 1 year photoshoot for ds at a state park in July. Most of the shots will be of ds but I wanted a few with the 3 of us and some of just ds and I and ds and dh. I have 4 looks for ds. Khaki cargo shorts with a teal polo, same shorts with a blue tee; the same shorts and blue tee with a white linen button up; same shorts and tee with a beach looking pull over. I think dh will be wearing a cool blue plad button up and cargos. I was thinking of wearing a white linen button dress from gap. Would that be too matchy or should I just avoid taking pics with ds when he is in the white button up?

    Honestly, I would reconsider four outfits. If it's a two hour shoot, which is pretty standard, that's an outfit change every 30 minutes.  Considering that a good chunk of the time is spent moving around, getting the shot set up, trying to get the kid to smile, etc, it's probably more like 15 or 20 minutes of actual shooting before it's time to change outfits (and either going back to the car to change or lugging around a bag with all the clothes - pain in the butt!).  Especially if it's at a park and not a studio - you'll be moving around a lot to different locations (I assume).  If you're really wanting an outfit change, I'd pick two. 

     

    You are right. Te more I thought about it I ended up deciding on 2 outfits for ds. The polo and the button up. What do you think for my dress? Is the white linen too matchy?

    I think the white linen is fine IMO.  I agree on no more than 1 change of clothes.

    This exactly.  I'm glad you thought it over.  I like both matching and coordinating outfits.  I don't like when everyone has the same printed tshirt, but when it's "all jeans and white shirts" I think it looks really clean.

    IMHO, bright colors look better in an outdoor setting than white does.
