Family Picture Ideas

Since we're going on a cruise this month I thought it would be a great time to get family pictures taken.  My sister-in-law has already agreed to take them for us (since she's going too)!  I spent a few minutes last night looking for poses and dress options that I like.

Originally I was thinking of dressing us all in bright colors (pink, blue, orange and green), but then I noticed that in every picture I liked, the people were dressed in white.  So, tomorrow I am off to the store to find clearance white summer clothes. 

Do you guys like these poses?  What do you think about color vs. white?

  2. Well, I like the white colored clothes idea too.

    (Though I personally don't have coloring to carry it off)

    Yup, yup, looking forward to seeing them too!

  3. I like the white pictures the best also. For some reason I like the back poses people are doing now.

    These are great examples.

  4. I like the white and the one with the white shirts and jeans that seems like it would fit a young family. Have fun! Laura Cottage and Broome

  5. Timeless and classic, I always vote for white at the beach! I've seen a cute Christmas card where they wrote Merry Christmas in the sand in front of them. Have fun!

  8. Cute poses! I've always been told by two of my family members who are professional photographers that groups shouldn't wear all the same colors because you can too often just appear to be a big blob of one color and everyone just blends together. Solid colors and earthy tones or grays are the best.

  9. White looks very nice on the beach. I also think it would look great if you threw in a bright sheer scarf or a pop of color somewhere. I just like the contrast a bright color brings to a picture. Have fun for all of us!!
