Dressing Your Newborn for A Photo Session

Newborn babies are so tiny and snuggly. They love to curl up and then stretch out, and keeping them comfortable can be a big part of making sure they’re happy during a photo session and . It’s also important to remember that they generally do not like being disturbed for outfit changes, we recommend for our clients 1-2 outfits.

Some families will choose one outfit for baby to wear, and then we will also do photos of baby swaddled/wrapped to keep them happy and snug. Huey Family Photography favorite baby outfits are usually rompers or matching sets. We also love keeping the hands and feet exposed so we can capture sweet detail shots of their tiny fingers and toes.

Another very popular age to schedule baby photos is around 6 to 9 months old we recommend when they generally will be able to sit up on their own. When babies reach this age they are more interactive, smiling, and so sweet. They often will have chubby arms and legs, so I recommend leaving either arms, legs, or both exposed to show off those rolls. I often photograph this age in my studio, where lighter, softer colors look just stunning. If you prefer pattern, a soft floral or stripe is perfect.

We love to also photograph sitters in just a diaper cover to really capture that precious chunk and capture detail shots. We have a few diaper covers in the studio or any bloomers/short shorts will work! Any of these outfits would also work for one year old studio sessions which is another popular time for photographing babies.
