Newborn/Family/Maternity Outfit Inspiration & Ideas
Now that you've booked your maternity, newborn, or family photoshoot, you may be asking, "What should I wear?" Clothing ideas can seem daunting as new parents have many things to plan for, such as their baby shower, nursery, perhaps car-shopping, touring hospitals, interviewing nannies, and more! Have no fear: our client closet is here.
We have 7 rules when shopping for our studio wardrobe. Here’s how we decide what parents should wear for a professional photoshoot at Sarah Borchgrevink Photography:
Textures and soft fabrics
Timeless and classic
Belts and wrap dresses offering flexible sizing
Fitted options for mothers seeking more intimate or sexy cuts
Solid colors without distracting labels
Soft, dainty, feminine prints
Variety to fit many different silhouettes, body types, skin tones, and session types.
Ethereal, light, flowy, airy, and timeless pieces accent your session beautifully
When shopping for our client closet, we offer the following options:
Motherhood
Big Sister (2t - 8t)
Baby Milestone (3 months - 18 months)
A small Father section
Our client wardrobe is included for all sessions, no matter the type. We are excited to help style your images, so they reflect our timeless, light, bright, and airy studio branding. While you’re always welcome to use clothing from home, we love to assist, so you have a curated closet from which to select.
Expect to see various tones, textures, and fabrics, all of which are curated to photograph beautifully. We offer diverse options such as, but not limited to, neutrals, grey, ivory, creams, whites, and muted colors and nudes, although there are colorful options. Jewel tones and classic black make an appearance, too.
What size of gowns are offered?
Gowns are available in sizes extra small - extra large. However, keep in mind that if you adore a dress, we can usually pin or clamp the gown to fit many different silhouettes. For instance, when shopping for clients, we select curated vendors, both local and national, who offer high-quality items that photograph very well. Because the dresses are designed for photoshoots and not daily wear, the sizing is very flexible.
Stylish, comfortable, and perfectly classic
All dresses we purchase for client use are simple, elegant, and complement many different silhouettes. We also carefully select soft, often stretchy fabrics and designed to be comfortable yet also compliment maternity, newborn, family, or motherhood photoshoots. Lightweight materials also ensure you may easily move during your photoshoot as we pose and direct you.
Complimentary gown fittings are welcome
The studio booking calendar offers complimentary gown fittings. We set aside 1/2 hour so you may browse dresses in advance. Moreover, if you see a dress you like on our Instagram or Facebook feed, we're happy to set it aside for you!
