So here is the first of those! These are my tips for what to wear for a newborn/baby portrait photo session.
It's all about co-ordinating and complementing!
A while ago I wrote a blog post with general advice on what to wear for a portrait photo session and I promised that I would write some more specific guides for the different types of session I offer. So here is the first of those! These are my tips for what to wear for a newborn/baby portrait photo session. It can often work well to keep your outfits really plain and neutral. This keeps the focus on the baby and the relationship between you. If you're after a clean, simple look for the portraits of your baby then it can work really well to simply wrap them in a blanket or muslin. If you want a brighter look to your pictures then you can use any colour of blanket that you like, just keep in mind where you might want to display your images when you make your choice! Another option for baby is to have them wear nothing at all! There's nothing quite like chubby baby wrists and podgy tummies and this gives a really natural feel to the images. If you're putting baby in a neutral colour then it's normally best if you keep your own clothes neutral too. You want to co-ordinate but not match. Look for clothes in colours that complement each other, like the soft creams and greys in the photo above. Of course, you're not obliged to go for a soft, neutral look. If you prefer colour then go for it! Just remember to think about co-ordinating everyone's outfits and the backgrounds you might be using - look at the way Hannah's babygro matches her blanket - perfect! And see how the clothes Kim, Andy and Teddy are wearing all complement each other, with the blue stripes on Teddy's top matching his Dad's t-shirt and co-ordinating with Mum's jeans. It's all about co-ordinating and complementing! I hope this gives you some inspiration when it comes to planning your newborn or baby photo session. Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think!
