Congratulations! You’ve scheduled your newborn session for your the new addition to your family, and now you’re wondering what to wear for your newborn photos. But first, you need to find the perfect outfit for your little one – one that will make them look as adorable and be as comfortable as possible. Don’t worry; I’ve got you covered. Here are our top picks for stylish and comfortable baby outfits that are perfect for any newborn photoshoot!
First up, the classic onesie. A soft and cozy onesie is one of my favorite ways to photograph your precious baby at their newborn photo session! Don’t go cheap here. My favorite is the Kimono style. And for the perfect finishing touch, don’t forget to add a cute little bow to the outfit! My selection of 1inch bows to use during your session includes white, pink and blue.

Next, you can’t go wrong with a comfy knit outfit. Whether you opt for pastel colors or neutral a knit outfit will always look super cute and keep baby warm and cozy. I especially love a 2 piece footless outfit that allows me easy access to their feet and belly buttons.

Finally, if you’re going for something more casual but still warm consider a simple, cotton gown or outfit.

You can’t go wrong with a diaper cover and wrap. First, newborns, often, want to be wrapped for most of their session. Secondly, this is the best way to capture all of their tiny details without having to disturb them.

From classic onesies to tutu dresses and graphic tees, there are so many adorable options out there – just pick whichever one makes your heart melt!
