What to Wear: Newborns

In continuation of my What to Wear Blog Series. I thought I would go from Maternity to talking about newly born newborn’s sessions. This is one of my favorite sessions to do! Yes, they take longer and require more patience, but definitely the most rewarding. I just love newborn images….who doesn’t???

I like to photograph newborns before they are 2 weeks old. Actually, the earlier we can do the session….the better. It can be crazy with getting out of the hospital and doctor’s visits….but, if you wait too long newborns lose their natural curl and want to stretch out. Most of the images that parents want are the newborns all cuddled up and sleeping….best if captured before they are 2 weeks old. Typically I do newborn sessions around a week old.

What to Wear for Newborn Sessions is quite easy in fact. NOTHING. LOL! Well, for the newborn that is. Yes, I have been peed and pooped on. But, it’s still worth it. I do recommend that parents bring a long a black long sleeved shirt and jeans for family shots. Plus, I do a lot of shots with parents holding the baby and those are best with dark long sleeved clothing as well. So, the What to Wear for this session is elementary….with everything that new parents have to handle….isn’t that a relief????
