What to wear for your Family & Newborn Portrait session

Family and newborn portrait sessions are a fantastic way to capture the unique personality and the special bond you all share. But what should everyone wear to ensure the photos turn out as amazing as the memories they represent? From choosing the right colors to understanding current trends, here's a bit of a guide to help you dress your best for your next photo shoot!

COLOR COORDINATION: The Secret to Harmonious Photos

Soot backdrop. Notice the contrasting black/white colors. This couple decided to wear similar color outfits which compliment the dark grey/black background beautifully. This brings the subject forward to capture your attention and highlight their contrast.

Choosing the right colors can set the tone for your portrait session. Before you dig through your closet or hit the shopping mall, consider this:

For a timeless natural look; Neutrals are best

• Neutral Tones: Colors like beige, gray, white, and navy are timeless and versatile. They provide a classic look and ensure that the focus remains on your family and newborn rather than on what you’re wearing.

• Soft Pastels: Soft pastels such as blush pink, mint green, and lavender offer a gentle, harmonious vibe. These colors work beautifully in natural light and add a touch of warmth to your photos.

• Bold Accents: If you’re feeling adventurous, add a pop of color with accessories or one statement piece. Rich jewel tones like emerald green, deep blue, or ruby red can add a striking contrast without overwhelming the picture.

Avoid Neon and Bright Colors: These can be overly distracting and may not photograph well. Stick to colors that complement your skin tones and the setting

TEXTURES: Adding Depth and Dimension

Backlight white backdrop. Look at their clothes, each subject has a different texture outfit but they blend together seamlessly.

Comfort is key for selecting textures, especially for families with kids

Textures play a crucial role in adding depth and interest to your family and newborn portraits. Here’s how to incorporate them effectively:

• Soft Fabrics: Fabrics like knits, corduroy, and cashmere create a cozy, inviting look. These textures can add a layer of warmth and comfort to your photos.

• Layers and Patterns: Incorporate layers such as cardigans, scarves, or jackets to introduce different textures. Patterns can be subtle, like fine stripes or small checks, which add dimension without being overwhelming.

Avoid Overly Shiny, Reflective, and Striped Materials. These can create unwanted glare and draw attention away from your faces. Stick to matte or soft finishes for a more balanced look.

OUTFIT CHOICES: Balancing Style and Comfort

Beige Backdrop. These outfits are comfortable, classic, and timeless which ensures a natural and authentic look to their photos.

The best outfit is the one that makes you feel beautiful and confident

Choosing outfits that balance style with comfort ensures that everyone looks and feels great. These are some groups of outfit choices that we’ve photographed and recommend:

• Classic and Timeless: Opt for classic pieces like button-down shirts, blouses, and simple dresses. These never go out of style and keep the focus on your family rather than fleeting trends.

• Fit and Comfort: Ensure that everyone’s outfits fit well and are comfortable. You want to avoid any last-minute adjustments or discomfort that might affect your natural expressions.

• Mix and Match: Instead of everyone wearing identical outfits, mix and match different pieces that complement each other. For example, one person might wear a patterned dress, while others wear coordinating solid colors.

• Footwear Matters: Choose footwear that complements the overall look but is also practical for the location of your shoot. For a natural look don’t wear shoes, but for a formal look, wear shoes. No sneakers or crocs/beach sandals though!

STLYE TRENDS: Keeping It Fresh and Current

Gentle rose pink backdrop. This family mix and matched their color palette with pink, blue and white with either cotton or jean textures, creating a beautiful modern look to their photos.

For a urban look; think about adding modern clothes and textures

Incorporating current trends can give your portrait session a modern touch, but be careful not to go overboard:

• Subtle Trends: Integrate subtle trends like puff sleeves or high-waisted pants that won’t date your photos too quickly. These elements can add a contemporary feel without overwhelming the classic look.

• Seasonal Trends: Consider the season when choosing outfits. For example, earthy tones and chunky knits are great for fall, while light, breezy fabrics work well in summer.

Avoid Over-Trendy Looks: While it’s fun to incorporate a bit of current style, avoid trends that might look outdated in a few years. Stick with trends that enhance rather than dominate the photo.

5 Ways to prepare for your Newborn Session

Welcoming a newborn into your family is such a special moment filled with joy and wonder. Capturing these fleeting early days through professional newborn photography can create timeless memories that you'll cherish forever. To ensure your session goes smoothly and you get the most out of it, here are five essential tips to prepare for a newborn photography session:

Booking in Advance

Newborns are best photographed within the first two weeks of life when they are still very sleepy and easily poseable. It's ideal to schedule your session during this period to capture those adorable curled-up poses and serene expressions. Be sure to book your photographer in advance to secure a slot around your due date, as newborn photographers often have limited availability. By scheduling early you can ensure a successful and enjoyable session that captures the essence of your newborn's early days and you can embrace this magical time of pregnancy.

Creating a safe environment

We create a comfortable and warm environment for your baby during the session. Keep the room temperature slightly higher than usual (around 75-80°F or 24-27°C) to ensure your newborn stays cozy and comfortable while being photographed in their adorable outfits and props. We also have a portable heater available to keep your little one toasty warm. A calm and quiet atmosphere always helps keep the baby relaxed and sleepy, which is perfect for achieving those precious, peaceful shots.

Planning Outfits and Props

Discuss with your photographer beforehand about the style and theme you prefer for the session. We provide a variety of props, wraps, and outfits, but you might also want to incorporate personal items such as a favorite blanket or a special toy. Simple, timeless outfits usually work best, as they keep the focus on your baby's natural beauty without overwhelming the photos.

What to bring with you

During the session, your baby is in control. We allow time for breaks to feed and comfort your baby as needed. A well-fed and content newborn is more likely to stay calm and relaxed throughout the session, allowing us to capture those precious moments. Bring along extra diapers, wipes, baby bottles, pacifier, hairbrush, burp clothe, blanket and any other essentials your baby may need to ensure they stay comfortable throughout the shoot.

Relax and enjoy the session

While it's natural to want everything to be perfect, remember that newborn photography sessions are also about capturing the authentic moments of this special time in your family's life. Trust your photographer's expertise and relax into the session. Your baby can sense your mood, so staying calm and positive will help create a relaxed atmosphere for everyone involved.

Preparing for a newborn photography session can be daunting but don’t worry, we’re here to take care of it all for you and the effort is well worth the beautiful memories that will be captured. All you have to do is relax and enjoy the beautiful experience.

We would love to be your newborn photographer, and with over 12 years experience in the industry, we’re more than capable to create timeless photos of your little one to cherish forever!
