Family Pictures | What to Wear

Time is flying by so fast and it occurred to me that our family pictures are coming up, FAST!  I started brainstorming on the feel that I wanted them to have, and I wanted them to be different than our normal pictures that are usually taken at a park.

This year I want an urban background.  We're going to Ft. Lauderdale to take some pictures with a city feel.  So, since I want a city feel I figured why not channel my inner Carrie Bradshaw and wear my pink tulle skirt?!  Here's the vision I have:


As far as clothes go, this is what I have in mind for us:


For me:



I'm not sure whether to go for a sequins shirt and tulle shirt or keep it simpler with a striped shirt and the shirt.  What do you think?  Is sequins and tulle together too much? The shoes will vary depending on which way I decide to go with the shirt.  As will the accessories.



 For E:



I ordered the dress for her yesterday on Nordstrom and I am obsessed with it.  I think she's going to look so cute in it and I like how her and I are matching, she's a big fan of matching with her mama!



For Hubby:


My husband's style is crazy simple.  He goes for comfort at all times and his idea of dressing up is a polo shirt and jeans or dress pants.  So, he'll be in a polo, jeans and his boots.  Easy... and predictable ;)


For J:



He'll be in this button down gray and white shirt that I ordered for him and jeans with casual shoes.


I wish boy clothes were more exciting, there's never anything that wows me!  But he's a handsome little guy so he'll look adorable, I'm sure.




What do you guys think of my vision for the pictures?

Great ideas! I love the pink tulle skirt and the kate spade shoes. The Charles David ones are great too.
Good luck with your family shoot. I know it's not an east thing to accomplish.

I love the theme and the city in the background! I feel like you're going to need to see the top with the skirt before you make a final decision. I'm SO in love with E's dress!!!
