how should I dress my baby for newborn portraits

Simple clothing is best for newborns

Clothing plays a big part in beautiful newborn portraits and that’s why I suggest dressing your baby in clothing that is minimal and not fussy. It’s easy with little ones, especially newborns, for them to get lost in loads of fabric.
I recommend light colored onesies that won’t overwhelm your baby with color. White or pale pastels is a perfect choice.

I have everything we’ll need

I’ve been photographing newborns and infants for many years and often the portraits parents end up loving the most are ones with their tiny newborn wearing nothing more than a little white onesie or maybe just a diaper cover.
This is such a popular choice that I have a selection of onesies and diaper covers in the studio so you don’t have to go shopping for them. I also have the white swaddles that so many parents love to see their baby wrapped in.
You bring the baby—I have everything else we need to get great portraits.

Neutrals look best on parents and siblings

Adding a new baby to the family is a BIG DEAL and I love to celebrate it by photographing the entire family together. Neutral, light-colored clothing will look great in your family’s newborn portraits and they won’t draw attention away from your newest family member. Small checks, delicate florals, light solids will all look terrific in portraits. If you’re not sure what to wear bring a couple of options and I can help you decide.
