A Love Letter

motherhood

Let’s romanticize this season of life.

Wardrobe

I don’t want you to stress AT ALL about this session.

But I do know you’re wondering what to wear.

So here’s a few ideas to help you decide your vibe.

Four images of beige and cream-colored baby and adult clothing: a beige knit sweater and pants, a close-up of beige knit fabric, a cream-colored baby cardigan with small embroidered details, and a cream-colored baby bonnet.

I want you to feel comfortable.

You deserve these photos and the moments with your babies.

If you are ever unsure about what to wear, I am always happy to help. This session is not about perfection. It is about presence, comfort, and allowing yourself to be held in the frame exactly as you are.

The clothing for this session should feel like an extension of the experience. Soft, comfortable, and effortless. Nothing stiff, nothing trendy, nothing that pulls focus away from connection.

Think texture over pattern. Movement over structure. Pieces that feel lived in and gentle on the body.

Colour Palette

Soft pastels and warm neutrals photograph beautifully and keep the focus on emotion rather than clothing.

Creams
Ivory
Soft beige
Warm taupe
Blush
Muted sage
Soft oatmeal
Warm clay tones

If you are unsure, neutrals are always a safe and timeless choice.

For Mothers

Flowy dresses with movement photograph beautifully and allow space for natural connection. Dresses that skim the body rather than cling tend to feel the most comfortable and flattering.

If dresses are not your preference, soft knitwear paired with relaxed trousers or skirts works just as well.

Look for
Lightweight fabrics
Soft knits
Natural fibres
Pieces that allow you to move easily

Comfort always comes first.

For Babies and Children

Simple, neutral pieces work best. Soft textures like knits, linen, or cotton add warmth without distraction.

Rompers
Simple knits
Overalls
Bare feet or soft socks

Avoid logos, bold graphics, or busy patterns. The goal is softness and simplicity.

What to Avoid

Bright or saturated colours
Large patterns or logos
Stiff or structured fabrics
Matching outfits that feel overly styled

These tend to pull attention away from the connection we are creating.
