I actually had this “dress code” for my wedding. Not just the wedding party, the guests too. The wedding was in a treehouse, and it looked really cool, all these people in khaki and white against the green backdrops. Everybody has something in the closet they could wear, and everyone was was comfy in the May heat. We have lots of great photos, but nothing group-y like this- that would have been creepy.
“I’d like to call this family photo meeting to order! Thank you. We’ve got a lot on our plate for today – personal family photo session, then a Gap ad at 2. Before we hit those, we’re going to grab a quick bit of lunch. Now, will everyone please stand for the pledge of allegiance?”
It looks like they’re a family of servers. I can just imagine the conversations with the little ones. “Now Jenny, I know you want to be a police officer, but we’re a family of servers and you’ll shame us if you leave”.

Would this family’s surname be ” White ” by any chance ?
It’s the BLAND family!
Well they must really like white shirts. In choir we used to have to wear white shirts and dark skirts or pants.
“I’m….dreaming of a White Christmas…”
Don’t you hate it when you show up for a photoshoot and someone else shows up dressed just like you? What are that odds of that happening?
Nobody wanted to sit next to the couple on the couch? Nobody?
the pillows needed to be showcased, they went to all the trouble of matching too!
DON’T DRINK THE KOOL – AID!!
I really wish they’d standardized the shoe colors. I mean, the tan shoes in the front row are really distracting.
They go out after this picture for a bit of the ultra-viloent.
Thanksgiving was real horrorshow this year (cue Wendy Carlos soundtrack).
left guy bulge and turtle neck lol
It was all just swell, until young Timmy (pictured centre) dropped his red socks in the wash….
Is it just a trick of perspective, or do they have all the tall people on the left?
This reminds me of the Modern Family episode where they dress in white for their family picture.
I find the different hair colors very distracting. They should have worn matching hats.

yep, that would have been creepy…. (backs away slowly)
(Snicker snicker)
yeah..would’ve been…
Can you find the polar bear in the snowstorm?
I work in a maximum security prison, guess what the inmates wear……(you guessed it–white shirts, khaki pants!)
AH so that’s where they are!!
NO! Seriously?

LOVE it, HeatherW!!!
This reminds me of Modern Family!!
Is this Heaven’s waiting room?
This is so thaki!
As Elmer Fudd would say “It’s hard to know white fwom wong”
Maybe very dark pants with white shirts would look kind of okay, but khakis? Was it an everyone “dress to go with the sofas and pillows” photo theme??
Darn! An eye peeking out from that lopsided sofa cushion would have made this picture complete!
Dear lord, I thought I had buried that sight/memory forever. Thanks for the revival of my PTSD. *Shudder*
LOL I was just thinking the same thing. Especially if the eye was wearing a red shirt!
It’s The Polyphonic Spree!!!!
ahhh I love them so much!!!!! Even got the robes for my kids.
Sort of makes you wish you had a large capacity super soaker filled with red wine.
Amy Misto has one in the trunk of her car. Perhaps she’ll let you borrow it when she’s done. Bwah haa haa!
HA, was just teaching my students about mass culture.
LOVE the pillows stacked in the right hand corner.
I think I’ve gone snowblind.
don’t worry, Tony can help you
HaHa!!!! Tony to the rescue…or at least to the camera!
Gaa! I’m blind! Where are my sunglasses?!
mr. turtleneck looks mighty comfy…
I like the stack of pillows from the couch in the right corner. Even they are following the color-scheme protocol.
It looks like they’re a family of servers. I can just imagine the conversations with the little ones. “Now Jenny, I know you want to be a police officer, but we’re a family of servers and you’ll shame us if you leave”.
You’re so beige, you probably think this photo’s about you.
Awesome!!!!
Winner!
FTW!
HA!
i think this is a result of Marney’s follow up letter on how to dress for her nazi Thanksgiving.
LOVE it!
Yep, Marney planned this family portrait.
Why do I get the feeling Marney is somehow behind this?
Khakis really never look flattering on anyone. They were the current harem pant fiasco of the 90′s.
I see a yellow shirt in there.
WWMD?
What would Marney do?
Duct tape, rope and a shovel? Photos are forever, you know. Nobody messes with Marney’s portraits! lol
she would not have this problem……the family “regulation” uniforms would have already been reviewed and approved before the photo session.
LOL! I bet the lady in cream brought off-brand ice cream, too.
Maybe she’s Amy Misto.
I want a glass of red kool-aid now
LOL
…or a bottle of red wine.
Don’t forget the chocolate cake!
Who made them dress to match the new livingroom?
Merry Christmas from the Dockers family!
The lady is cream is the rebel.
yeah, I think she’s with the guy in the (gasp!) brown pants
This reminds us why no sports teams have tan and white as their official colors.
nice. sleep inducing for sure!
They would be the perfect spokes-family for tide bleach or cheer.
and the girl in the off white shirt can be the poor soul who used generic bleach.
Now, John, he’s the one in the khaki pants and white shirt, right??
No, he’s the one in the white shirt and khaki pants.
: laugh :
Ha!
family/ catering company
I love the girl on the left couch who is wearing an OFF-WHITE shirt. What a rebel. I bet everyone else was pissed.
The eye goes straight to her. She wins!
Maybe she didn’t use Oxy-Clean
Apparently so did their furniture.
and the whole house!
I see one guy didn’t get the “khakis” memo.
and the poor girl that wore “cream”…. she must be on the hit list!
What’s really awkward is this was taken after Labor Day.
Beat me to it Tim
The memo clearly specified REGULATION Khaki and White. Some people just won’t do as they’re told…
