Choosing the right outfits for your newborn photoshoot can make a big difference in the final images. The goal is to create timeless, beautiful portraits that highlight your baby and family without distractions. Here’s a helpful guide on what to wear for your newborn photography session.
For Baby: Keep It Simple
I have this part covered! I provide a selection of baby outfits, wraps and accessories for your little one so you don't have to worry! You are welcome to bring family heirlooms or accessories if you would like.
If you would like to bring your own outfit for baby I recommend
Neutral and Soft Colours: Creams, whites, soft pastels, and muted earth tones work beautifully.
Simple Onesies or Wraps: Avoid clothing with logos, bright colors, or busy patterns.
Accessorize Minimally: If you’d like a special headband or hat, keep it delicate and simple.
For Parents: Coordinating Without Matching
Your outfit choices should complement the soft and neutral tones of the session while keeping the focus on your baby. Here’s how to plan your look:
Stick to Neutrals and Pastels: Soft tones like beige, gray, white, and blush create a warm and timeless feel.
Avoid Bold Patterns and Logos: Solid colours or subtle textures photograph best.
Comfort is Key: Choose outfits that make you feel comfortable and confident.
Flowy Dresses for Moms: Soft, flowy dresses look beautiful and elegant in photos.
Simple, Well-Fitted Shirts for Dads: A neutral button-up or a simple, fitted tee works great.
For Siblings: Soft and Coordinated
If siblings are joining the session, their outfits should complement yours:
Keep it Simple: Solid colors and soft fabrics work best.
Avoid Busy Prints and Bright Colours: These can be distracting in photos.
Comfortable Clothing: Make sure kids wear something they can move in and feel good about.
Additional Tips:
Stick to timeless styles over trendy fashion to keep your photos classic.
Lay out your outfits together beforehand to see how they coordinate.
