This Columbus newborn session was the definition of cozy. We had gorgeous light streaming in, as well as playful kids who were ready to love on their new brother. Mom put together their outfits with such intention, and it resulted in photos that truly represent this family of 5.

HOW TO DRESS MOM FOR A NEWBORN SESSION

Take into account how you want to feel after recently having a baby. Obviously, you want to feel put together, but let’s dig deeper than that. Do you envision wanting to live in something soft + stretchy? An elevated loungewear set would be the perfect fit for you. Do you want to feel a bit more like your pre-pregnancy self in a pair of jeans? Stick with a pair that is loose, and add a flowy top for added comfort. Whatever you all wear, start by picking an outfit for you, and work on everyone else’s outfit from there.

MIX TEXTURES

Textures scream cozy. And everyone wants their newborn session to feel cozy. Consider outfits that are knit or ribbed to add visual interest to your gallery. Dainty patterns can sometimes also work like visual texture, so keep an eye out for options like that when you are shopping.
