What should we wear for our Brisbane newborn, maternity or family photoshoot?

Ah yes, the great wardrobe dilemma — also known as the “I’ve got nothing to wear” panic.

Don’t stress. I’ve got you!

When it comes to planning outfits for your Brisbane maternity or family photography session, the key is to keep things soft, simple and coordinated… without going full Von Trapp Family Singers in matching denim.

For maternity sessions, flowy dresses are your best friend and the studio wardrobe is stocked with gowns for you to wear during your session.

They show off that gorgeous bump and move beautifully in photos.

Soft neutrals, warm earthy tones, and pastel colours photograph beautifully against the Brisbane bush and golden light. And yes, I’ve got a whole studio wardrobe filled with bump-friendly options you’re welcome to borrow — because let's be real, buying a whole new outfit at 36 weeks pregnant? No thanks.

For newborn and baby sessions, I always recommend keeping it comfy and timeless.

Think soft textures, natural fibres, and colours that complement your home — especially if you're planning to print your photos (which you absolutely should!).

As your friendly neighbourhood Brisbane newborn photographer, I’ve seen it all, and I promise: the simpler, the better. I’ll help style the whole family so no one turns up in a bright orange hoodie (looking at you, Dad).
