What to Wear for Newborn Photos

Newborn Photo Session Style Guide

What should I wear for newborn session? Light neutrals (whites, creams, tan, light gray) and muted colors always photograph well with my bright and airy style of photography. I recommend timeless pieces and staying away from loud, busy patterns, logos, and dark colors. I love for the focus to be on you and your family versus what you wore.

For baby, start with a simple onesie or one piece and swaddle. I have a few swaddles I bring to your session as well. Ribbed or henley one pieces or bodysuits are the perfect option for baby. Light colored dresses work best for mom, light colored henley or button downs work for dads and the bo ys, and sweet and simple timeless dresses for big sisters. For baby girls, I love these bows from amazon.

For lifestyle newborn sessions, I like to remind my clients to look at the colors of your home and the rooms we will be photographing in - it works well if your clothing colors and patterns complement each other. More ideas on what to wear.
