Client Request: Jill’s Newborn Photos
First round! Let’s start with narrowing down what you want to wear, and then I’ll provide options for your husband and of course baby! I included a variety of price points, and also included some Amazon finds for fast shipping. The ShopBop dresses also have the same shipping options (Amazon Prime) so you could give that a try! As always, send me your feedback :)
And check out these Blue and White outfits I did for a family last year:
Look 1: Sweater Theme
Look 2: More formal (I think the lace dress is on major sale - if you’re thinking about Baptism, might be good to buy now)
Look 3: More preppy (Same as above - since this is older, there will be sale items)
Newborn dresses for mom
Left to right
Toile print dress (reminds me of a ginger jar!) - I would recommend not wearing the belt for newborn photos, then add the belt as you wear throughout the spring/summer. I know you said you don’t love off-the-shoulder, but this would be another option if you like the print!
Blue Gingham Dress - this is one of my favorites, but I’d recommend ensuring you have the appropriate bra and/or a tank top to wear underneath. Here’s another option for sizes
Gingham Sleeveless Dress - in case you want something sleeveless or if you think you’ll be hot (and you could also add a cardigan easily!). Act quickly on this one as the sizes are going fast! Another option that you could belt down the road too :)
Sheer Sleeve Dress - You will be BEAUTIFUL postpartum, but I know you mentioned distracting the eye from the tummy - puff sleeves will add volume and balance
Second Row
Textured Caftan - Okay, this is a splurge… but check it out on Instagram - photographs SO well, and there’s actually very high re-sale value if you’re interested in parting with it afterwards
Smocked top dress - beautiful print and the smocking makes the fit flexible! Another wear now and again option
Blue Print Wrap Dress - pretty pattern and length! The quality of the fabric won’t be like the other options, but it will still photograph well
Blue wrap dress with asymmetric hem - a nice midi length! Same comment on fabric
Smocked waist dress - nice and flexible in the waist, which definitely makes for easy “pull down” for breastfeeding
