Capturing Emotions, Not Colors: Wearing Neutral Clothing for Newborn Photography – Indianapolis Newborn Photography

This newborn session delivered a plethora of wonderful family moments. Big brother stole the show with his incredible cooperation and genuine excitement about his new baby brother. What made it even more special? The smart choice of clothing by the clients.

I always stress the importance of neutral tones to my clients, and these ones nailed it with creams – a timeless choice. Whether it’s cream, white, peach, soft grey, or subtle tones of green, pink, or blue, neutral colors create a canvas for people and skin-tones to shine. Personally, my top pick is always cream or white; it lets emotions and expressions take center stage, without distractions from vibrant clothing colors.

Need Help Picking an Outfit?

For those struggling with outfit decisions, I offer a handy “what to wear” tool. It takes the guesswork out of coordinating outfits for your newborn photography session.

What to Shop Local?

I get it, sometimes you just want to try things on and see it in person. There are lots of great shops in the Indianapolis area but here are a few of my favorites.

When it comes to outfitting siblings, Hey Little Diddle is a gem in Carmel, IN. Their entire store is a treasure trove of neutral-colored clothing, making it a perfect spot to find coordinating outfits for your little ones.

For moms looking to enhance their style, Vintage Charm Zionsville is a must-visit. This boutique boasts trendy outfits in various tones, with a recommendation to lean towards neutrals for that timeless look. And if you don’t find the perfect ensemble at Vintage Charm, downtown Zionsville has three other adorable shops just steps away, ensuring you have a range of options to explore and discover the ideal attire for your newborn photo session.

What should baby wear?

And here’s a little secret: you don’t need to worry about bringing a wardrobe for your precious newborn. In my studio, simplicity is key, and the timeless beauty of your baby’s birthday suit or snug wraps takes center stage. I provide a selection of wraps, ensuring your newborn is not only comfortable but also beautifully adorned. This minimalist approach allows the focus to remain on the pure essence of your newborn, capturing the innocence and tenderness that only those early days bring.
