I. Embrace Simplicity
When it comes to newborn photography, simplicity reigns supreme. Opt for attire that is understated and timeless, allowing the focus to remain on your precious bundle of joy. Solid colors or subtle patterns work wonders, ensuring that the attention is where it belongs—on your little one's adorable features. Always dress mom first and use her dress's colors to coordinate (not match) with dad and baby/siblings.
II. Delight in Texture
Texture adds depth and dimension to your photos, elevating them from ordinary to extraordinary. Embrace the tactile beauty of soft knits, flowing fabrics, and delicate lace, infusing your images with warmth and intimacy.
III. Timeless Palette
Choosing an undersaturated color palette and sticking to timeless silhouettes will ensure your portraits are timeless and treasured for generations to come. Avoid all logos and bright colors as these distract and affect editing.

Undersaturated Neutrals
Soft Pastels
Swaddles
I always bring two simple stretchy swaddles, a white one and a cream one. So never fear if you cannot find the perfect outfit for your newborn. Sometimes having them bundled up is enough.
