A newborn photo session is a beautiful way to preserve memories of your first days with your baby within gorgeous portraits that you’ll be able to enjoy more and more as your child grows with each passing year. But a newborn photo session doesn’t feel complete if we don’t create portraits of your little one with the people who mean the most to them: you, their adoring parents. What should you wear for newborn portraits with your baby?

There are two reasons why, in every newborn photo session, my goal is to get the baby to sleep for most of the session.

The first reason is the portraits. We all love those precious sleeping baby portraits! These newborn photos capture just how tiny and new your little one is, and for most parents, those sleepy photos are the dream.
