Light, organic colours are perfect for studio maternity & newborn photos in my warm and modern home studio.
Your Maternity Session
Choosing the right outfits can really take your maternity photos can really take your maternity photos to the next level.
I have a small, but totally gorgeous wardrobe of beautiful dresses that you will be able to borrow for your session. These include a variety of options for romance, boho, rustic and classic style lovers.
We’ll have a Zoom planning call before your session to discuss and plan the style of photos you would like and which dresses will work best for this. At this planning session, we’ll also go over Dad and any siblings will wear as well.
Most of my clients will opt for very organic and natural colour palettes (think whites, tans, mocha, sage, rust, dusky pinks) and my dresses all work beautifully with this scheme.
If you have chosen an indoor session, then we usually do two outfits for these. One set of images is in your own outfit and I recommend something a little closer fitting so we can create beautiful silhouettes.
Then the second look is usually in one of the beautiful dresses I have in my client wardrobe.
Before your session I will send you a full Session Prep Guide with photos of the dresses and you are welcome to book a try-on session before your portraits if you’d like to see which one you like best.
Your Newborn Session
I completely understand that after you have had baby, the first week or two can be tough with all those sleepless nights. A lot of the photos I do for newborns will feature baby in your arms and I am an expert at guiding you through the session to you feel relaxed and confident. We’ll be focusing on connection and capturing the love you have for your baby as opposed to full body, everyone staring awkwardly at the camera type photos.
For newborn sessions, many of my Mums choose to wear the same dress they chose for their maternity session, so we can create collage frames or an album that includes images from both sessions. These look stunning and the dress choice creates a lovely sense of cohesion between the two sessions.
I have 3 or 4 dresses with beautiful shoulder and necklines which are perfect for your newborn session. They are flattering and comfortable for you in the early days after baby arrives.
If you prefer to wear something a little more casual, then I suggest lighter tones of browns, creams, tans and whites for your newborn session. This way we avoid strong colour casts from strong blues or greens on baby’s skin.
Final thoughts
Booking your maternity and newborn photography sessions at the right time and choosing the right outfits can make a world of difference to your final images.
I’ll guide you through the whole process though and my goal is to make it a stress-free experience you enjoy and capture some beautiful memories for you of this special time in your lives.
