What to wear to mommy and me session

If you’re just tuning in, I’ve been doing a little mommy and me mini series. Catch up here:

And now onto the next step – what to wear to your mommy and me session.

I love the tender feel that mommy and me sessions tend to yield. So when you’re getting ready and choosing an outfit, choose something that will make you feel beautiful.

When choosing an outfit, I always tend to advise to stick to neutrals or light colors such as peach, pale pink, dusty blues. These help the photographs remain timeless. I love long flowy dresses, white blouses and skirts. Lace and other delicate fabrics photograph beautifully.

As for the littles, same rules apply! Delicate fabrics in light or neutral colors work best. Little girls in rompers or dresses, boys in jeans and a t-shirt is just so cute. Simple button downs work well for boys.

Skip shoes. Treat yourself to a pedicure before the session and let your babies be barefoot as well.

Here are some of my favorites from the world of Pinterest.

I love how neutral these are. Mom’s dress is super flowy and will photograph beautifully. Little rompers for boys and dresses for girls – can’t go wrong.

Tulle skirts are always a great choice. Have I mentioned how much I adore rompers on babies and toddlers?

First of all, bow ties are always a yes for me 🙂 As are suspenders. I also love the way the fabric on these dresses is just so light and airy!
