Wardrobe is very important. I have full maternity wardrobe for maternity sessions and full wardrobe for Mom & Baby for the newborn session. If you would like to wear your own. A variety of different colors, or keeping it very simple with neutral, whites, cream ,  tans  and /or earth tones is what I prefer.  I ask my clients to please contact me first to discuss what you and your family will be wearing before the session.  . For maternity, I would suggest you wear something fitted with not to many patterns.  You will receive a link to my gowns once booked. We will go over this on our consult call or meeting.
