Your Newborn Portrait session isn't just a chance to capture those beautiful newborn memories, it's also an opportunity for your first official family photo.
I often get asked 'what shall we wear?' Here are my top tips on what to wear for your family portrait and how to stay cool for the whole session, whether you have opted for a family photo or not.
Family portraits
This is your first official family photoshoot and it's important that your tiny newborn baby doesn't get lost in the photos. Wearing complimenting colours is a great way to make sure the focus is all on your family. Bright colour, busy patterns and logos can be really distracting and take the attention away from your new baby, so keep it soft and simple with a matching colour palette.
It's going to get very warm
We keep the photography studio temperature around 22 degrees which is perfect for a newborn baby, who may be unclothed for some photos, but a little warm for us adults. Wear layers that you can remove as you get warmer.
But I don't want to look sweaty in photos!
Don't worry you won't. We take sibling and family photos first when we are all fresh-faced and not too warm.
A change of clothes
Little accidents happen and, with a naked baby, I think it's safe to assume that we're all at risk of getting a little wee or poop on us. You may want to bring a change of clothes for your selves just in case.
See you for gorgeous newborn memories in our studio.
