As a Seattle-based photographer, I've had the joy of capturing countless newborn lifestyle sessions.
One of the keys to a successful session is having the right essentials. Here are a few items you'll want to have on hand:
- A plain colored onesie or sleeper (white, gray, beige, or soft pastels work well) - this helps keep the focus on your baby's sweet face and tiny details
- A few blankets or wraps in neutral colors (think soft whites, creams, and grays) - these add texture and coziness to the photos
- A hat or headband (optional, but adorable!) - go for neutral colors or soft textures
- Sibling outfits in coordinating colors (no need to match, just complement each other) - think soft pastels, earth tones, or neutral colors
- Personal items like pacifiers, favorite toys, or special blankets - these add a touch of personality to the photos
Some things to keep in mind:
- Avoid bold patterns or bright colors, as they can distract from your baby's face
- Stick to simple, timeless pieces that won't go out of style
- Don't worry too much about matching outfits - the focus is on your baby, not a perfectly coordinated look
By having these essentials on hand, you'll be all set for a beautiful and relaxed newborn lifestyle session.
