Help needed immediately!!!

Tomorrow we go for Avalynne's first ever photo shoot, and we are getting some family photos done as well. I have decided on what I'm wearing and what Ava is going to wear, but now I can't decide what DH is wearing. I want to co-ordinate but not look like twins, lol!

We are both wearing jeans of the same color, and Ava is wearing a cream colored cotton ruffly dress. I have a cream colored shirt with 3/4 length sleeves. I have a cream shirt for DH but its really white compared to mine AND it has charcoal short sleeves. When I put them all side by side, his looks too white and I don't really like the charcoal mixed in with the cream and blue.

He has a really nice plain t-shirt with cream stitching across the chest that is brown (like chocolate milk brown) and when I put them all side by side I think it looks nice.

Here are the 2 options:
A) With the cream shirts. Like I said, his shirt is way whiter than mine, and I don't care for the charcoal sleeves compared to my solid cream.

B) With the soft brown shirt (I think this looks better, but will it be nice in photos??)

Please help!!! What do you like better? Any photographers out there with an opinion? Would it look too matchy matchy if we all wore cream & jeans?? Personally I'm thinking the brown is the one, but I just need confirmation that it won't look dumb, lol!

Do you have a brown shirt too? I loved Meeeeeeegans family pics and they all had on brown..

Unfortunately, I have no brown shirts :(... not that fit or are solid anyways, lol!

I am a photographer and I'd go with B (of course, you could always bring along both and talk to your photographer about it, too.).

Oh, I could do that!! Once we are in the studio in the actual light, they may look different or closer together. I think I'll do that!

You and dh should match. If he wears a different color, he will be the one to stand out, but if its Avalynne wearing a different colors, she will stand out, which is what most people want.

LOL! That WOULD solve a lot of problems wouldn't it?? Problem is, I bought that ivory/cream shirt to match DH and Avalynne... but now it doesn't work so well, lol!

Photo shoots are stressful!! Not to mention I have to hope my hair co-operates AND I have to put make-up on (which I hate) AND hope that Ava doesn't have a nap-strike today. Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!

I had a photo shoot with all 3 boys in an old broken down barn...they all wore white t-shirts and jeans...oh they are still my favorite pics of all time...it looked wonderful together!! I have seen lots of other shoots with white or cream shirts with jeans...and they have looked great!

I think they all should be same...so can you go get dh a new plain shirt?

I really like the all cream idea too, but I did chose brown for what was shown.
