If you’ve just brought a beautiful new baby into the world, one of the best ways to commemorate this special time is with a family photo shoot. Before you meet at the photography studio, your family will need to decide what to wear to look their best on camera. Here are a few tips to keep in mind.

How to Dress for Newborn Family Photos

1. Keep It Comfortable

Babies can be sensitive to rough textures. Therefore, not only should you dress them in soft materials, but also choose comfort for yourself, especially if you will be cradling the baby for the photo shoot. Wearing loose and maneuverable clothing will also help you to pose more naturally. 

2. Wear Similar Colors

When taking family pictures, having everyone wear a similar color scheme can help the overall composition of the photo and add to the air of togetherness. However, rather than having everyone in identically matching shirts, choose a shade like blue, white, or spring green and ask everyone to wear at least one article of clothing in these colors. Ask them to avoid bold patterns and bright hues that might make one person stand out too much from the rest.

3. Pack Extra Clothes

Put together and pack at least one extra set of clothes for each family member. If someone, especially the baby, gets a stain on their clothing or if you want to experiment with more than one theme, this allows you to change at the photography studio easily. Bringing a comb and other accessories for freshening up is also recommended.
