Mila Brooke | 4 weeks | Cincinnati Lifestyle Newborn Photographer

[cs_content][cs_section parallax=”false” style=”margin: 0px;padding: 15px 0px;”][cs_row inner_container=”true” marginless_columns=”false” style=”margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;”][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/1″ style=”padding: 0px;”][cs_text]There’s just something about a lifestyle newborn session. Being able to come into your home and capture you as you are in those first few weeks together is so special to me. I wish I had done photographs of my new babes in our home. To remember us as we were, comfortable and cuddly. Lifestyle sessions are a great way to capture your beautiful new family together.

Miss Mila is an absolute doll baby. Can we just talk about her squishy cheeks and her amazing hair?! GAHHHH I’m in love. Usually, I have the hardest time refraining from kissing newborn cheeks. It’s just a natural reaction for me. Thankfully, Sergio and Leah are good friends so I got to smooch those cheeks without restraint. Thanks for letting me cuddle your sweet girl.

What to Wear Guide | Cincinnati Photographer

I get asked all the time from my wonderful clients how they should dress. So, I decided to put together this little guide along with some examples that will hopefully help ease your stress about the details of your upcoming session. Feel free to e-mail me if you still have questions or want to send along outfit options for my opinion.

Avoid: Matching. The whole white shirt and khakis thing is so 1994.

Instead: Try coordinating! Pick a few colors or even a whole pallet of coordinating colors and fill in the rest with neutrals. Think Jewel tones or spring colors!

Avoid: Big clothing, especially for kids. Our tendency, as mothers, it to buy clothing a little big so it will fit longer.

Instead: Buy your kiddos clothes even a little smaller than you normally would so they don’t look baggy in your photographs.

Avoid: Lots of black or white. And neon. Just say no to neon!!

Instead
: Try something a little less extreme. Cream or navy are great options! Even better, add in a pop of color.

Avoid: Small patterns, especially pinstripes. They end up making your shirt look almost wavy.

Instead: Try plaids, florals, or animal prints.

Avoid: Solid, plain outfits.

Instead: Add layers and texture. Corduroy, flannel, lace, cable knit, and denim are fabulous examples of texture!


Avoid
: Panicking about outfit choices!!!

Instead: Let one person (AKA the outfit picker, herself) find something she feels beautiful in and then chose the other outfits from there.

Here are a few of my very favorite places to shop for great, photo-worthy outfits.

www.oldnavy.com – $$ – great for layering basics!
www.hm.com – $$ – Great for the whole family! If you’ve got a regular to slim guy their guys clothes are on trend and super great! And their boys section is MY FAVORITE!!
www.tjmaxx.com – $$ – If you’re an in-person, deal finder like me this is my go-to store for my personal closet.
www.target.com – $$ – I mean, have you guys seen the kids cat + jack line? Gimme!!!

www.modcloth.com – $$$ – I promise you you won’t regret checking this site out. Women of all ages can find amazing dresses.
www.gap.com – $$$ – I mean, duh.
www.hannaandersson.com – $$$ – The little girls in your life NEED a dress from Hanna Anderson.
www.anthropologie.com – $$$$ – Mom’s, a family photo session is the perfect time to Treat Yo’ Self and what better way than Anthro? While you’re in there grab a Capri Blue candle (you can thank me later for the tip).
