One of the most exciting aspects of planning a child photoshoot is choosing the perfect outfits for your little one. The clothing you select can play a significant role in the overall look and feel of the photos. To help you achieve picture-perfect results, I've put together this guide on what to wear for your child's photoshoot. Whether you're opting for a classic portrait or a more casual, candid session, these tips will ensure your child looks their best and feels comfortable throughout the shoot.
Above all else, comfort is key when dressing your child for a photoshoot. Kids are more likely to be relaxed and happy if they're comfortable in their clothing. Avoid outfits with scratchy tags, tight elastics, or anything that may cause discomfort. Remember, a happy child equals genuine smiles and natural expressions in the photos.
Consider the style and theme of your photoshoot when choosing outfits. If you're going for a classic portrait, traditional, timeless clothing such as dresses, suits, or elegant outfits for your child can be a great choice. For a more casual, playful session, opt for everyday attire like jeans, T-shirts, and trainers - although I always suggest bare feet for a studio portrait - we want to see those tiny toes!
Coordinating outfits can make the photos visually appealing without being too matchy-matchy. Choose a colour scheme or a theme that complements your child's personality and the setting. Mix and match colours, textures, and patterns to add depth and interest to the photos. Avoid dressing everyone in identical outfits, as this can look unnatural. However, everyone in jeans and a pastel t-shirt would look great, as would jeans and darker toned t-shirt.
Busy patterns and logos can be distracting in photos and may take the focus away from your child's beautiful face and personality. Opt for clothing with simple, subtle patterns or solid colors. This helps keep the attention where it belongs – on your child. Less is more.
Layering adds depth and versatility to your child's outfits. Consider adding cardigans, vests, scarves, or hats that can be easily removed or adjusted during the shoot. Layers also allow you to create different looks without the need for a complete wardrobe change.
Accessories can be a fun way to add personality and style to your child's photos. Hats, bows, headbands, and belts can all be great additions if they suit your child's personality and the overall theme of the shoot. Just be mindful not to overdo it; less is nearly always more.
Accidents can happen, especially with children. It's a good idea to bring backup outfits, just in case. This way, you'll be prepared if there are any spills, stains, or wardrobe malfunctions during the photoshoot.
Make sure you bring a drink for your child and a snack that will not leave a messy face or stain clothing. Don't forget your changing bag if you use one!
Conclusion:
Choosing the right wardrobe for your child's photoshoot is all about striking a balance between style and comfort. Remember that your child's comfort and happiness are paramount, as they'll shine brightest when they feel at ease. By coordinating outfits, considering the theme, and keeping these tips in mind, you'll be well-prepared to capture beautiful, timeless moments with your child during the photoshoot.

You will have received an email with the date and time of your slot. Please make sure you are on time. I have multiple shoots running consecutively and if you miss your slot, you miss your photoshoot! You have up to one hour for your shoot.
I will take some classic portraits as well as the magical image. There will be 2 set ups for your shoot -
You are welcome to bring a change of outfit for your children or stay in the same outfit for both set ups. Go smart or casual, but avoid bold patterns and large logos to keep your images timeless and to keep the focus on faces rather than clothes.
For the magical image, you can choose Christmas pyjamas, preferably in a light colour, or borrow the white fluffy cardigan and blanket, as shown in the reindeer image above. These will completely cover whatever your child is wearing. I recommend Next or Asda for Christmas PJs, both of which have a click and collect facility in Andover. I love Zara for kids clothes, which may be worth a looksie!
Your session will be up to one hour, but may be quicker, as children don’t usually want to hang around posing, so I have to work fast! If you are happy to, bring some sweets or whatever works in case we need to bribe your children, but I’m confident that we’ll get some lovely smiles.
My studio is in our garden, so it’s a house you’ll be looking for. The address is Blacksmith’s Cottage, 8 Waterloo Terrace, Foundry Road, Anna Valley, SP11 7LY. We are diagonally opposite Greenfield Farm Shop and you can park on the road, but please don’t block the driveway. Please come through the side gate when you arrive and go straight on up to the studio, a lovely cosy log cabin, where I will be waiting to welcome you.
I will edit your photos and create a private online gallery for you to view them and choose your package. You can then purchase your chosen package online, for immediate digital downloads. Your gallery will be ready for you within 2 weeks of the shoot and I will email you as soon as it is ready.
I hope this answers many of your questions. If you would like to discuss your session, please get in touch via my Contact Page.

A cake smash photoshoot is so much fun! Since little ones tire quickly, I work fast. The shoot will be around one hour long and I pack a lot into that time! Your little angel is guaranteed to be tired afterwards!
I always start with some classic portraits, so you have some nice, clean images before chaos unfolds. I love to keep my set ups really simple, often using a giant white balloon, little wooden ONE letters, a vintage wooden child's chair, or even the same bowl or little bed that we photographed your baby in when they came for their newborn photoshoot!
We then do a quick outfit change and bring out the cake. If your baby is not interested in touching or tasting the cake, I have a cute wooden spoon that they can play with, so I am always able to capture some great images with the cake. We end with a little bath in a vintage style tin bath, with lots of bubbles.
I have a wide selection of really cute, simple outfits that you are more than welcome to use, or you can bring your own. Take a look here at the outfits I can provide for you: Cake Smash Outfits
I provide the cake for you and this can either be a naked iced cake or a giant cupcake. I recommend keeping it simple with cream butter icing or a pastel colour of your choice. If you or your child have any allergies, please let me know in advance and I can provide a dairy free or gluten free cake if that's what you need. I have a pink and a clear glass cake stand or a wooden slice cake stand.
You are welcome to take the cake home with you afterwards, if it is still in good condition! I don't like waste and I do donate to the Andover Food Bank each month.
All you need to bring is your changing bag, a drink and snack for your child, a towel and possibly a change of clothes for yourself, as you might get messy too! I provide everything else - cake, outfits, props, balloons, bubbles...
Unfortunately, a family photoshoot requires a lot more work for me on the day (such as changing the lighting and backdrops) and in terms of more editing after the shoot. Therefore I can't include family photos as part of the cake smash shoot. Of course, you are more than welcome to book extra time with me to add on a family shoot, at an additional cost. Get in touch to discuss how this would work.
I hope I have answered all your questions, but if you need to talk to me, please get in touch!

Newborn photoshoots take place in my photography studio, a beautiful log cabin in the garden of our family home in Anna Valley, near Andover in Hampshire. The space is designed to be warm and comfortable. The room temperature will be set to around 21C and a small heater is used to heat the area where baby will be lying to 28C, so baby does not get cold when posed.
I want you and your baby to feel relaxed and comfortable so you will be able to feed on demand and change baby as needed. I will provide light refreshments, but you might like to bring lunch or snacks with you so you don’t get hungry. I will play white noise or relaxing music to help soothe baby throughout the session.
Your newborn photo session will take around 3 hours and the reason for this is your newborn will need feeding, cuddles and cleaning throughout the session which is baby led rather than photographer led. The actual taking of photos is only a small part of the experience!
In order to be able to provide you with certain posed images, I prefer baby to be curled up, sleeping for as long as possible during the session. I can of course take beautiful photos of your baby awake, but it is not easy to position baby in specific poses when they not asleep, unless well wrapped. In order to increase the likelihood of baby sleeping during the session, we start by making sure baby has a full tummy, a good winding and a clean nappy.
When you arrive and have settled down comfortably, I will ask you to feed your baby if they need feeding, to make sure they have a full tummy and will be more likely to fall into a deep sleep. I’ll then ask you to change baby's nappy, which will stay on for most if not all of the session. I'll handle baby most of the time, usually only passing them to you if they need a feed or a cuddle. This helps to keep baby settled, as they cannot smell milk on me! I may ask you to give baby extra little top-up feeds to help settle them during the session, if necessary.
So that I can capture your baby perfectly while they are still so brand new, for most of the session your baby will be in just their nappy or their birthday suit. Newborn clothes never fit correctly so we don’t get to see all those beautiful wrinkles and creases.
I have a wide selection of wraps in a variety of colours that you can choose from, along with little hats and headbands, artificial flowers and more. I have a range of props including little wooden beds, baskets and bowls. I will ask you or your partner to help when your baby's in a prop, to ensure their safety at all times.
One of the downsides of photographing baby undressed is that your baby is guaranteed to poop and/or pee on props, blankets, perhaps even me or you! This is just par for the course, something I’m used to dealing with and something I allow for. I have 2 children of my own after all! All of my blankets and props are washed in an eco non-biological detergent for sensitive skin or are sanitised after each session. I have plenty of cloths, wipes, towels and sanitiser to hand.
You may have some particularly special items of clothing or toys that you would like to be included in the photos. Please remember to bring these along to the session if you would like to.
I always include some photos with parents and siblings during my newborn sessions, at no additional cost. Please wear plain clothing to the session yourself, as patterns and contrasting colours can be distracting in the final image. Other family members or friends being photographed should also wear plain coloured clothing and it is a good idea to try to coordinate, such as by all wearing pastel shades or earthy tones. I'll choose either a light or dark backdrop for family photos, depending on your choice of clothing.
It might surprise you to know that the newborn photography industry in the UK is completely unregulated. Photographers like me, who take safety seriously, have to take it upon ourselves to be trained and educated on how to ensure the beautiful images we create, are done safely. I am fully trained in newborn photography and I undergo regular safety and first aid training. I am fully insured with Policy Bee.
I work without an assistant, but at times I may ask you to be hands on, to help with positioning if necessary for safety purposes. However, for the most part I would like you to be able to relax and watch the session take place, use the wifi or do whatever you feel most comfortable doing!
Around one week after your shoot, I will invite you back to my studio for your viewing session, where you will choose which images you’d like to keep forever. I have a choice of packages plus wall art - framed prints, canvases, unique ways of displaying your beautiful photos, including bespoke hand made albums and more. I’ll take payment at the viewing session and your photos will be with you as soon as possible - digital downloads on the day! View pricing info here.
I hope this answers many of your questions. If you would like me to arrange a phone or Zoom consultation to discuss your session, or if you would like to visit the studio in person, please get in touch.

Kids are big part of your family and most likely the reason you want these photos, so involve them in the entire experience. If they want to bring their favourite cuddly toy along to the session, let them. These are details that reflect their personality and mark this time in their life; you want those captured.
Get them excited about the shoot far in advance. Plan a surprise or a special treat like ice cream or mini golf after the shoot, so that they look forward to the entire day. You don’t want your kids to think of the photo shoot as something scary, or worse, a chore.
You are paying good money for these photos so don’t look as though you have just come home from the school run in the rain. You don’t have to look like you are off to the races, but look your best, smart or casual.
Don’t show up to a photo shoot on an empty stomach. I meet many families who come to a photo session with dinner or a picnic scheduled at the end. If this is your plan, great, but please be sure to give everyone a healthy snack before the photo shoot.
Photos aren’t something we normally have done once a month on a professional level...so make sure you’re adequately prepared for this special event. Buy a new outfit, do some extra styling with your child’s hair or incorporate fun props like hats or scarves.
For a photo that stands the test of time, opt for clothes that are classic rather than super trendy. Try to avoid large logos, bold patterns and styles that might be outdated in a year.
When picking out your clothes for the session, err on the side of comfort. You want to be confident in your clothing styles, but choose something flattering and timeless that will make you want to keep that family portrait up for years to come.
What do your dream family photos look like? If they are soft and elegant? Choose neutral colours with soft, flowing fabrics.... think creams, very soft pastels, oatmeal, light browns, tans, greys, and slate blues. We can even discuss a highly stylised shoot.
Coordinate your wardrobe, but not too much. There is a fine line between coordinating and too matchy matchy. Selecting complimentary patterns, or colours (think pastels or varying shades of the same colour) are a great way to go. You do not have to match. In fact, it looks better when you don’t.
Bring a change of clothes if you want more than one look, or in case your child has a potty accident, etc.
Photos of kids with bare feet look awesome, as do girls in cream or pastel coloured floaty dresses and boys in smart shorts, shirt and a waistcoat.
Idea: Pick a single colour tone to each member of the family to wear. This use of a single colour can be as small as adding a red hair band to a girl’s ponytail, or as large as a father wearing a similar colour shirt as his daughter’s hair band. Utilise the same or similar colour throughout the family. The acts to subconsciously strengthen their bond with the photo. Accessories, such as scarves, necklaces, over shirts, hairpieces, shoes, and hats are just a few of the ways to add an accent colour to a family member.
Most of all, bring your patience!
Letting go of expectations will take a little bit of the pressure off and help everyone to relax and just enjoy the time together as a family. Be realistic, the whole point of the session is to capture your family. You won’t look like the family in the department store adverts because they are not real!
The perfect family photo may not necessarily be the one you envision. Open your mind, relax, have fun with it & the photos will reflect a lovely memory of time spent together. If you are relaxed, your children will be too.
Step back, and allow me as photographer to naturally interact and talk with your children. This will result in natural, gorgeous smiles. Help me to capture the true essence of your child’s personality by talking with and coaxing out those smiles.
Always touching: be sure that you’re always touching someone. Whether it’s a hug or snuggle, or just a tender hand on the shoulder. Make contact with your family. This shows connections and love.
My studio is a beautiful log cabin in our garden. The address is rear of Blacksmith’s Cottage, 8 Waterloo Terrace, Foundry Road, Anna Valley, SP11 7LY. The house is diagonally opposite Greenfield Farm Shop and there is plenty of free on street parking outside our house, where I will be waiting to greet you. Find directions on my contact page.
Your photoshoot will not take more than an hour and could take as little as 20 minutes. This all depends on whether you have children with you and how they respond to being photographed. I am quietly confident that I will get genuine smiles and capture the personality of your family members, but some families take longer than others! I will do my best not to keep you longer than necessary and when working with very small children, I work fast as they get bored fast!
Around 3 weeks after your photoshoot, I will be in touch with details of how to book your viewing session, where you’ll come back to my studio to view and choose your photos. I have three print & digital packages to choose from, then you can add framed prints, albums and wall art if you wish. There is no obligation to buy any more than the basic package. If you have been given a gift voucher, a specific package or item may have been chosen for you, but you will have the option to add to this if you wish.
Any queries about any aspect of your photoshoot, please contact me. If you’d like to book a pre-shoot consultation via phone or Zoom, please let me know.
I look forward to seeing you at your photoshoot! Helen x
Congratulations on your pregnancy and thank you for choosing me to capture this incredibly special time in your lives. I'm really looking forward to creating some beautiful images and treasured memories for you. Imagine how thrilled your child will be to see these special photos too!
At a maternity photoshoot, I aim to provide you with a set of beautiful, flattering photographs, documenting this amazing stage of your life.
I will use a variety of outfits and set ups to provide a good range of images for you to choose from.
A Mini Maternity shoot includes 2 set ups - one light and one dark, including 2 different outfits. This shoot will last around 3o minutes.
A Full Maternity shoot includes more variety in set ups and outfits and will last 1-2 hours. This option is for those wanting a more creative maternity photo gallery, or perhaps boudoir maternity images.
Yes! You are more than welcome to bring family members and even your pet dog. Family members should wear cool and comfortable clothing, as the studio will be nice and warm. Neutral colours and tones always photograph well. Please avoid logos and patterns on clothing, as these will date.
Simple, plain items of clothing will give your photos are more timeless feel. Try to dress family members in similar colours or tones, for example, all in white t-shirts, or all in navy tops.
If you are bringing family members to a Mini Maternity shoot, bear in mind that this will leave a bit less time for me to photograph you on your own. If you want more, you might like to upgrade to a Full Maternity shoot.
I provide a variety of flattering maternity dresses and fabrics to make you look awesome. It is entirely up to you what to wear and there is no pressure to show off a bare bump. Some dresses are sheer, some have a split down the front to reveal your bump and some provide full coverage.
You are welcome to pose with a bare bump if you'd like to, or even completely naked. I will of course maintain your decency at all times. Your images can remain completely private or you can choose to share them - it's your body!
I don’t provide hair and make-up, so you can either arrange to have that done professionally before you come, do that yourself, or come as you are!
You’re welcome to bring your own outfits too if you like.
Please wear skin coloured underwear with no VPL, if you can. You’re welcome to bring a change of underwear if you like, for example if you want to be photographed in a particular set of lingerie, for a maternity boudoir photoshoot.
Bring a drink and snack with you, especially if you have children coming along too.
Your session will take place in my garden photography studio, a beautiful cabin in the garden of our family home, near Andover.
With a full maternity shoot, there is the option for either a studio or an outdoor maternity shoot. Ask for further information.
That's OK. I will help to position every part of your body and I use studio lighting to ensure your photos are beautifully flattering. I am a very relaxed, down to earth person and the whole experience will be calm and enjoyable. Read my reviews!
I am an experienced and qualified photographer, so you can be assured that I will be taking photos to the best of my ability. I have a Licentiateship qualification with the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers here in the UK, details online here.
If you have any reservations about any particular part of your body, let me know before or during the photoshoot and I will be sure to avoid including anything that you know you will not want to see in your final images, or will use my Photoshop skills to remove elements in the photo, such as a tattoo that you are having removed.
If you have booked a Mini Maternity shoot with your Newborn shoot, 1-2 weeks after the shoot at my photography studio near Andover, I will share a private online gallery of 5 images for you to choose from. You can purchase these for £20 per photo, for immediate digital download.
If you have booked a Full Maternity shoot, 1-2 weeks after the photoshoot I will share a private online gallery for 20 images for you to choose from and purchase, for immediate digital download, selecting one of my photo packages, as shown on my pricing page. I can also provide bespoke wall art for you to show off your amazing body in your home, mini albums to showcase more intimate images and much more.
If you have any questions about your maternity photoshoot, please get in touch. You can contact me via phone, text, email or via my contact page.
We can even arrange a free Zoom consultation, so you can see my studio and maternity outfits before you visit.
I look forward to meeting you very soon!

Happy New Year to you all! I hope you have all had a restful and healthy Christmas and that 2022 brings you bucketfuls of happiness.
It is sad to see the cases of COVID escalating so rapidly at the moment. My photo studio is fully open but I am now taking additional precautions, to try to reduce the spread of Omicron. I am now asking all clients to take a lateral flow test on the morning of their photoshoot and I am taking one too. All being well, the results will be negative and the photoshoot will be able to go ahead. Obviously, if either of us gets a positive result, we'll need to isolate. In this situation, I will do my best to reschedule your photo shoot for as soon as possible.
During your photo shoot, I will be wearing a mask and using hand sanitiser regularly and will ask that you do the same. Of course, you don't need to wear a mask having your photo taken, but at all other times I will ask you to wear one. I am continuing to sanitise my photo studio before and after each photoshoot and I have the NHS App for you to check in on arrival.
I am starting to get booked up, so would thoroughly recommend that those looking to book a maternity photoshoot, newborn baby photoshoot, sitter session, cake smash photoshoot, fine art child portrait or family portrait, to book in as soon as possible. I am also selling lots of gift vouchers, which make wonderful gifts for friends and family.
I am offering a free Zoom consultation for anyone already booked in, or looking to book a photoshoot. Just get in touch via my Contact Page if you'd like to schedule a call.
I am starting 2022 by continuing my very popular offer of a free mini maternity photoshoot when a newborn photoshoot is booked. This session is best held around 7-8 months into the pregnancy. The session will be held at my photo studio in Anna Valley, near Andover. During this 30 minute session, I offer 2 set ups and one outfit change, with or without family members. Your photos will be available to view and choose at the viewing session following your newborn photoshoot.
Please feel free to drop me a message via my Contact Page any time, with any queries. I'd love to hear from you.
