ugh, it's christmas card photo shoot time
the hub is alllll about the matchy-matchy thing when it comes to what to wear in these annual shoots. and after rejecting pasadena city hall as our location this year, we're heading up to the mountains since our fabulous photographer is cool with it (other photogs we've used weren't willing to go up there).
we've done red, white, and cream tops in previous years. green is too freaking hard to match when you have a boy, a girl, a teen, and a bean to dress. we'd settled on brown, but that'll totally blend in with a forest background. blah. got any suggestions on what we can rock in our photos this year?
Warning
No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml

What about navy blue? I love the look of coordinating outfits, not necessarily matchy matchy which may go against what your husband wants.
Here's a family shoot that I've always liked:

ETA- unless it's a really cute leopard print dress.
Oooh this!!
I also think anything in the blue/green/teal family would work!
the hub was considering maybe just one of his light blue dress shirts that he wears to work and a pair of jeans. great for him, but the rest of us have zero light blue attire and i was trying to avoid having to spend cash on something to wear this year.
think light blue would be okay, or would we still blend into the background?
I like the whole coordinate-without-matching look as well.
Here is a photo of my sister's fam a couple of years ago. Lots of good earth tones.

What about browns and greens?

Honestly, I love the look of different greens for a photo shoot. My girlfriend did it with her family last year and it looked fab. If the greens matched TOO well it would look lame IMO. I'd try to see what you can find. You'd be surprised how great it would look.......especially with your families awesome dark hair!
Here's a shot with the different greens.
