Dressing Your Baby for a Milestone Photoshoot
Dressing your Baby for a Milestone Photoshoot | A helpful guide to choosing the perfect baby milestone outfit for your photography session
The first year of your baby’s life is filled with heartwarming moments, laughs and memories. As your little one approaches their first birthday, a Milestone photoshoot is a wonderful way to commemorate this special occasion.
Yet, choosing the perfect outfit for this photo session can be both exciting and a bit overwhelming. You want something that’s casual yet polished, capturing the joy of the moment while ensuring your baby looks adorable and comfortable. Here’s a guide to help you choose the perfect attire for your baby’s one-year photoshoot!
Opt for Classic Comfort
Comfort is key when it comes to dressing a one-year-old. At this age, babies are on the move and their clothing needs to accommodate their active nature. Choose fabrics that are soft and breathable, such as cotton or a cotton blend. Avoid anything too tight or restrictive, as this can make your baby fussy and less likely to enjoy the photoshoot.
Try to choose clothes that fit your baby well. Not too big or small, and is free of wrinkles or stains.
Go for Timeless Styles
For a timeless look, consider classic styles that won’t look dated as time goes by. Simple, elegant pieces often work best. A well-fitted onesie paired with soft pants or a cute romper can be both charming and comfortable.
If you prefer a more formal touch, a smocked dress or a button-up shirt with soft, elastic-waist trousers can add a polished appearance without compromising comfort.
Choose Soft, Neutral Colors
Neutral colors and soft pastels often photograph beautifully and complement various backgrounds and settings. Colors like light grey, beige, soft blue, or pale pink are versatile choices that highlight your baby’s natural features without overwhelming the image.
Avoid overly bright or neon colors as they can be distracting and less flattering in photographs. Some subtle bright color patterns is okay but be sure to think about the overall look of your outfit choice and the photoshoot when making this decision.
Incorporate Gentle Patterns
If you prefer patterns, opt for gentle designs like small polka dots, subtle stripes, or delicate florals. Busy patterns can be visually overwhelming and detract attention from your baby’s adorable expressions. Keep patterns minimal to ensure the focus remains on your little one.
Loud and bold patterns are also harder to retouch and edit. Plus, the setups for one-year milestones are often detailed and extravagant and if the outfit is too bold, it will take away from your beautiful baby’s special moment.
Accessorize with Care
Lastly, while accessories can enhance an outfit, it’s important to keep them simple. A cute, soft headband or a small bow tie can add a charming touch without being too distracting. Avoid anything that might cause discomfort or be a choking hazard. For footwear, soft, flexible shoes are perfect for completing the look while keeping your baby’s feet comfortable.
If you wanted to incorporate any special or sentimental items then please let your photographer know you would like to incorporate it into the session.
Clothes matter, but it’s not something we expect you to figure out all on your own! At PRISCILLA GREEN PHOTOGRAPHY, we communicate with you before your session to understand your vision for the photos and help guide you to the perfect outfits choices.
Each Milestone photoshoot is beautifully unique and your baby’s clothes are no different! This is no one perfect outfit, and we want to encourage your baby’s attire matches their cute personality.
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

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

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.
