Family Photo Dreamspiration

BREAKING NEWS ALERT: Our first family photo shoot is happening.  In three days.

We have the subjects, location and photographer.

We have NO IDEA what to wear.

That’s where you come in.  More on that in a minute…

First, check out this handsome couple:

Yeah, that would be from our wedding day – January 20, 2008.

We seriously lucked out in the wedding photograph category.  In fact, I would show you more, but I don’t have them saved on this computer because there are approximately 5,000 (not exaggerating).  We’ve always envisioned our fantastic photographer – Jennifer Radack of O’Grace Photography – taking our family portrait.  Now, we’ve got the family and she’s graciously squeezed us into her crazy schedule.

Jennifer also suggested the perfect urban-yet-somewhat-southwest setting.  We just have to figure out what to wear.  Because we are wearing something.

This is a crucial moment in time…  Our first family portrait, which will grace the Dream’s walls for decades (crazy, right?) – AND be on our 2011 Christmas card, the first card with Kenton.  We’ve already blogged about how much we love doing Christmas cards every year – here’s one of our past images that turned out kinda fun:

My parents are also crashing the photo session.

I took this picture. I was trying to be artsy. Aren't they all cute and lovey?

Because everybody wants a picture with Mr. Popular here:

(Wish the Original Dreamers were here and could join us too!).

Two Grandparents.

Two Parents.

One Baby.

No Doggies.

And none of this…

just say "No" to matchy-matchy

Which is the perfect segue back to my original question… WHAT TO WEAR?!

I’ve been perusing Pinterest for inspiration (I even dedicated a whole board to it) and here’s what I’ve found…

original photo sources can be found here

I’m leaning towards the gray/blue/brown palette, but am open to suggestions… So… Suggest.  PLEASE.

PS – Speaking of Pinterest – our nursery ideas are getting pinned over and over and over again.  So exciting!
