What to Wear for an In-Home Newborn Session

Congratulations on the arrival of your precious bundle of joy! As you prepare to capture those heartwarming moments in the comfort of your home, choosing the perfect attire for your in-home newborn session becomes an essential part of the planning process. Here are some tips to ensure you and your family look effortlessly stylish while focusing on the star of the show – your newborn baby.

1. Soft and Cozy Fabrics:

Opt for soft and comfortable fabrics that allow ease of movement. Cotton, linen, and jersey materials are not only gentle on your baby's delicate skin but also provide a relaxed and cozy feel for everyone involved.

2. Neutral Tones:

Neutral tones create a timeless and soothing aesthetic, putting the focus on your baby's adorable features. Creams, beiges, and greys work beautifully and contribute to a serene and intimate atmosphere.

3. Coordinate, Don't Match:

Coordinate outfits among family members without going for a matchy-matchy look. Consider a color palette that complements each other, creating a visually cohesive and harmonious appearance in your photos.

Two older sisters smile and snuggle their newborn baby sister as they all are wearing neutral beige tones and laying on a bed of layered beige and white blankets.

4. Textures and Layers:

Incorporate textures and layers for added visual interest. This could be a chunky knit sweater, a cozy cardigan, or a textured blanket for the baby. These elements add depth to your photos.

5. Timeless Classics:

Choose classic, timeless pieces that won't look outdated in a few years. Avoid overly trendy or busy patterns that may distract from the main focus – your adorable newborn. Simple attire ensures the focus remains on the love and connection within your family.

6. Consider the Setting:

Think about the color scheme of your home and the room where the majority of the photos will be taken. Coordinating with your home's decor can create a seamless and aesthetically pleasing visual narrative, especially if you plan to hang any of your photos in your home!

7. Comfortable Footwear:

Opt for comfortable footwear, if any. No shoes is a favorite look of mine for in-home sessions.

8. Personal Touches:

Feel free to incorporate personal touches, such as sentimental jewelry or accessories. These items can add a meaningful layer to your photos and tell a more personalized story.

Remember, the most important aspect of your in-home newborn session is the genuine love and connection within your family. Choose clothing that allows you to feel comfortable and confident, enabling you to focus on creating timeless memories with your newest family member. Enjoy every moment of this special time!
