Not sure what to wear for newborn photos?!

My top 5 tips on what to wear (and avoid) for newborn photos…

What to wear for newborn photos

  1. Avoid Busy Patterns and Logos
    Steer clear of busy patterns, bold prints, neon colors and large logos as they can take attention away from your baby. Instead, opt for solid colors or subtle textures that add depth without overwhelming the photo.
  2. Comfortable and Soft Fabrics 
    Choose clothing made from soft and comfortable fabrics to ensure your baby’s delicate skin remains comfortable throughout the session is always a recommendation for what to wear for newborn photos. Avoid scratchy, stiff materials that might cause discomfort or things that don’t wrinkle easily.
  3. Layers and Textures
    Incorporate layers and textures to add depth and visual interest to the photos. Consider using blankets, wraps, or textured clothing to create dimension and a cozy atmosphere.
  4. Avoid Distracting Accessories
    Keep accessories minimal to maintain focus on your newborn. Avoid large, noisy, or distracting accessories that could overwhelm the photo. Simple headbands, hats, or small pieces of jewelry can add a touch of charm without being overpowering.
  5. Solid Colors or Subtle Patterns
    Solid colors or subtle patterns like small florals or stripes work well for newborn photos. They keep the focus on your baby while adding visual interest to the images.
