What to Wear - Newborn

For newborn sessions, two key wardrobe questions significantly affect your resulting images. First, what will the baby wear? And second, what will we wear? That’s right, mom and dad . . . you’ll be in some of the photos as well, even if just as a “backdrop” to the star of the show.

Newborns are absolute perfection when they wear nothing at all! For variety and some fun pops of color, Evelyn also likes to use the swaddling blankets or knit hats that you have at home--that also gives the images a personal touch. Plus, we'll bring a box full of our own.

There are few things as stunning as skin-on-skin shots of a newborn and the proud parents. Dad can be shirtless for some shots, as can Mom, or she could wear a strapless bra or tank top. Images for this type of shot are generally closely cropped. Also, long-sleeved black shirts for Mom and Dad are a MUST and provide a sophisticated, dramatic “backdrop.” Finally, nice causal clothes work well for "lifestyle" family portraits with the new family.
