Your Guide to Newborn Photoshoot Outfits
Yay! You are looking for what to dress your newborn baby in for their photoshoot, so, that means that a baby is either on the way or already here, congratulations! Below you will find essential tips and ideas on how to dress your newborn for their first photography session!
We have all seen our friends' posts of their newborns in those tiny little, adorable outfits, but where do they come from?
How do you choose the right option for your newborn's photoshoot? I am here to help! Read on!
Newborn outfits that are best for photos
The ones that fit well! Newborns, one-month and smaller, typically are too big for their 0–3-month outfits. And even those outfits are not designed to be used for photography, but more for, well warmth and skin protection. So, they may not photograph as well as newborn outfits made for photography.
The newborn outfits that are best for photos are the ones that are designed specifically for newborn photography. These outfits are made to be worn for the short period of time that your newborn is being photographed. They are made of super soft fabrics, yarn, etc. to make sure they keep baby comfy and are easy to stretch to remove and put on baby easily. Typically, these are provided by most professional, newborn photographers. I would definitely reach out to the newborn photographer near you and check to see what they specifically offer.
Now, maybe you want to purchase this outfit for a friend. Or maybe you want a specific outfit that you just love for your newborn's first photoshoot. I have client's purchase their own outfits all the time and I love to use what they fell in love with. Below are some of my favorites - from some of my favorite shops.
Newborn Photography Outfits for Baby Boys
Newborn Photoshoot Outfits for Baby Girls
Your newborn photoshoot could include both swaddled baby poses and newborn outfit options, so I have provided some direct links to make your life easier (I am not an affiliate or anything, I just want to help moms find options easily).
If you are working with a professional newborn photographer, they will most likely provide a plethora of different wrap options that are best for wrapping baby for the photo session. The ones that we use during the photoshoot, often would not be a wrap that would serve as functional in your everyday life. If you really enjoy having your own items or if your photographer does not provide what you are looking for, here are some great places to find your own.
Photoshoot specific newborn outfit ideas:
I highly recommend Customphotoprops.com They offer quality newborn wrap options (and other cute things too).
Yellow Ruffle Accent Layer or Baby Wrap | Camero (customphotoprops.com) This yellow one pictures below is adorable, isn't it! I am feeling all summery, so I think I might just have to order it myself when I am finished up here! This yellow, dainty detailed, wrap looks marvelous on this perfect newborn baby girl below!
This store has a variety of options for photoshoots for babies of all ages. ADORABLE! They offer quick shipping and good communication as well. I love this store! They have a ton of variety, so don't lost in the rabbit hole and trust your gut when you choose your favorite!
This is a smaller shop and I absolutely adore the shop owner. She is extremely kind and has helped me out when I was in a bit of a rush to receive something. I personally have a few of these amazing footed rompers from her. The quality is exceptional. Check out the footed romper set below! What I also love about this store is that you can purchase everything separately.
Okay, ya'll, don't forget to check out Sheepcantknit | Etsy First off, the most adorable store name ever! "Sheep Can't Knit?" Get out! Too clever! I have ordered both patterns and actual outfits from this store and it has been a total delight during every shopping experience. The knitting is top notch and adorably delicate.
Personalized and functional Newborn Photo Outfit Ideas:
newborn | H&M US (hm.com) – H&M now offers a “conscious” choice, which is the step in the right direction and an option for those who prefer a brick and mortar. I have found a couple of cute newborn and baby milestone outfits in-store, but it’s really about luck to have the newborn size in your local store.
In my searches, I came across Personalized Baby Swaddles – Dashing Fox – adorable little shop with a ton of options for personalized swaddles and blankets and more! It seems to be independently owned, which I love to support small businesses, especially when they have great reviews, like Dashing Fox does. You can also find them on Etsy!
