As a Ft Worth Newborn Baby photographer and a boy mom, I know the struggle is real for those of you searching for cute baby boy outfits. The pressure is really on when you start searching for the perfect outfit for your little baby’s upcoming photo session. Planning out your child’s milestone sitter or first birthday session can be quite the task. Add in that boys simply have fewer choices for clothing than girls, and you’ve got yourself an issue. In fact, “What should my baby wear?” is pretty much the most common question I field as a Ft Worth newborn baby photographer.
Being a boy mom comes with so many awesome built-in perks (umm…can I get an ‘amen’ over never having to learn to braid hair properly). However, I do admit to feeling forlorn when I pass by those precious girl clothes at Target.
While I often find it difficult to shop in physical stores for the boys, the good news is that online offerings have really started to expand at pretty much every major retailer. The only problem is, who the heck has time to go through 5 or 6 sites trying to decipher it all?? Not most moms, that’s for sure.
If that sounds like you, then you’re in luck, because as a fellow boy mom who has been there, done that (and a “momtographer”) I have taken the time to make a list of my current favorite winter boy items (basically a ‘what to wear to your baby boy’s photo session wardrobe checklist!’) You’re welcome my friends.
My main focus was to find baby and toddler clothes that are timeless, classic and (above all) photograph well. Since I know that boys value comfort, I tried to hone in on items that could be worn in everyday life too. I know when I buy something special for my children’s portraits I don’t want it to just sit in their closet afterward. I also considered affordability and ease of online ordering (good return policies, lots of coupons and discounts available). I value newborn and baby photography as an important investment, but I also know that we all have a budget, so if you can dress your kids for a decent price then why not?? So many things on this list are on sale too–seriously, everyone is doing their winter close-outs and it is a fantastic time to be purchasing photo-worthy outfits for your baby boy. Act quick or else I’m gonna buy everything up for my own Baby J and take a million photos of his precious face. He doesn’t want me to do this, so save the baby please.
