What should parents wear for a newborn photoshoot?

Parents often ask for guidance when it comes to their outfits at the newborn photoshoot, so here are 5 tips to consider when selecting what to wear:

Newborn photoshoot with mum wearing a grey jumper and dad in a black jumper, baby in a brown wrap
Newborn baby shoot with parents wearing pastel colours
Newborn photoshoot with dad wearing a navy dark top and num wearing a beige brown dress

  1. Stick to solid colours or small prints that won't steal the limelight. Neutral colours like white, cream, blues, black, and pastels are always a good choice.

  2. Avoid clothes with words or logos on them, as they can be distracting in the photos, especially if the branding goes from left to right across the chest.

  3. Shoes are not usually necessary for the photoshoot, so don't worry too much about them.

  4. Dress for the cosy studio environment, as it can get quite warm during a newborn photoshoot so consider wearing light layers that you can easily remove if you get too hot.

  5. Also it’s probably best to avoid clothes that require constant adjusting or have loose straps or buttons that could cause wardrobe malfunctions!

By following these steps, you'll be enhancing your images while clearly showing that your baby is the hero of the shoot. However, the most important thing is to feel comfortable and confident in what you're wearing. Your photoshoot is all about capturing precious moments with your new baby, so don't stress too much about the details, as I can help you with that, just enjoy the experience!

Best wishes,
