What to Wear for Your Maternity, Newborn & Family Photos: South Florida Style Guide

What to Wear for Your Maternity, Newborn & Family Photos: South Florida Style Guide

One of the most common questions I get from clients—especially busy moms in Broward County and surrounding areas like Boca Raton, Parkland, and Pompano Beach—is:“What should we wear for our photos?”

The answer? You don’t have to stress. At Jennifer Ubinas Photography, I offer full wardrobe support, styling advice, and even access to beautiful couture gowns and baby outfits, so you look and feel amazing during every session.

Here’s your complete guide on what to wear for your maternity, newborn, family, or cake smash session—with a signature South Florida twist.

Maternity Session Style Tips

✨ Fabrics that flow – Think silk, chiffon, or tulle gowns that catch the breeze at outdoor locations like Delray Beach or Fort Lauderdale.✨ Earthy tones or neutrals – These photograph beautifully and create a timeless look.✨ Couture statement gowns – I offer a curated collection of gowns designed to flatter all baby bumps. From minimalist to editorial glam, I’ve got you covered.

Mamas from Parkland, Sunrise, and Coconut Creek love using my client closet—it saves time and guarantees a magazine-worthy look.

Newborn Session Wardrobe Tips

🍼 For baby – Soft, breathable fabrics like knits and wraps in whites, creams, blush, or sage photograph best. I provide all wraps, headbands, and bonnets.

🤍 For parents – Keep it simple. Think cozy textures, neutral tones, and no logos. Soft whites, taupes, and light greys are perfect for studio newborn sessions in Deerfield Beach.

Pro Tip: Moms, choose a robe or soft dress that allows for easy cuddling while feeling beautiful.

Family Photo & Cake Smash Style Tips

🎂 For cake smash – Coordinating (not matching) outfits for family, with baby in a fun, photo-friendly romper or onesie. If baby is the star, keep your tones muted so they pop.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 For families – Stick to a 2-3 color palette. Think beachy tones in Boca Raton, coastal blues for Fort Lauderdale, or desert neutrals for an earthy vibe in Pompano Beach.

I send every client a style guide tailored to the session and location—whether you're doing an outdoor golden hour shoot in Delray Beach, or a clean and modern studio look in Deerfield Beach.

Outfit Don’ts (Trust Me on These!)
