You’ve booked your Motherhood Mini Session in the Garden Studio, now what should you wear?
Don’t worry Mama – I’ve got you! Below are 21 dresses for your studio session, plus a few bonus outfit ideas for your littles to help bring your whole look together beautifully.
Here are a few things to remember when choosing your outfit for a Studio Session:
✔ Soft, Flowy Fabrics are Your Best Friend
Movement adds so much beauty to portraits. Flowy sleeves, long skirts, and gauzy fabrics create a soft, dreamy look and photograph beautifully in natural light.
✔ Stick with Neutrals or Soft Earth Tones
Colors like ivory, blush, muted sage, dusty lavender, soft blue, and warm beige work perfectly in the Garden Studio. These tones complement your skin, your children, and the overall natural vibe of the space.
✔ Less is More
Simple silhouettes, minimal patterns, and subtle textures allow the connection between you and your child to shine. Avoid loud prints or anything overly trendy.
✔ Comfort is Key
Choose a dress that lets you snuggle, sit, and move freely with your little one. Studio sessions are relaxed and intimate—you should feel at ease and like yourself.
Below are some great examples of what to wear – plus each photo is clickable to shop online!

What About Your Littles? Here Are a Few Outfit Ideas:
Pair your dress with complementary, neutral outfits for your kids. Think soft textures and colors that won’t compete with your look:
Baby Girl:
- Muslin romper in blush or ivory
- Cotton dress with bloomers
- Bonnet and knit booties for added charm
Toddler Girl:
- Linen pinafore over a flutter sleeve top
- Soft tulle skirt and ribbed top combo
- Neutral cotton dress with ruffle details
Toddler Boy:
- Knit romper in beige or oatmeal
- Henley tee with muslin pants
- Linen suspender shorts & a simple tee
Add bows, simple hair clips, or soft headbands for girls—and keep shoes neutral or go barefoot in the studio for that clean, natural look.
Final Tips for Styling Your Studio Session
✨ Choose coordinating tones rather than matching outfits.
