You've booked your Sweet Dreams Mini Session—yay! Now comes the fun part: choosing what your little star will wear for their dreamy, cloud-filled photo shoot. The right outfit can elevate the magic and help your images feel timeless, cozy, and full of wonder. So here are a few helpful tips to make sure your child looks picture-perfect (while still feeling comfy and confident).

🌙 Think Soft, Dreamy, and Whimsical

This isn’t your average setup—our Sweet Dreams Minis are filled with clouds, stars, and a soft, starlit vibe. Lean into outfits that feel gentle and magical.

Color Palette Ideas:

  • Ivory, cream, soft beige

  • Blush, dusty rose

  • Pale blues, soft greys

  • Light pastels or muted tones

These colors will photograph beautifully against the cloud-inspired set and help keep the focus on your little one’s sweet expressions.

Pajamas, Nightgowns, or Dreamy Outfits

Yes, pajamas are totally encouraged! This setup is inspired by the quiet wonder of bedtime dreams—so outfits like soft cotton pajamas, ruffled nightgowns, or cozy loungewear are perfect.

Outfit Inspiration:

  • Two-piece pajama sets in neutral or pastel tones

  • Long flowing nightgowns for a whimsical, vintage feel

  • Soft robes or oversized sweaters

  • Barefoot is encouraged for that sweet, cozy look!

Bonus: Pajamas are also comfy, so your child can move and play without feeling stiff or restricted.

Keep It Simple with Accessories

A delicate headband, a bow, or even a plush stuffed animal can add a sweet, personal touch. But avoid anything too busy or loud—simple is best in this soft, dreamy environment.


Optional Props to Bring:

  • A favorite bedtime storybook

  • A cuddly blanket or lovey

  • A tiny stuffed animal (if it’s special to your child)

Just make sure anything you bring fits the dreamy, neutral aesthetic.


💡 A Few Extra Tips:

  • Avoid logos, bright colors, or characters—they distract from the peaceful mood of the set.

  • Try on the outfit ahead of time to check for fit, comfort, and any wrinkles or tags.

  • Don’t forget to brush hair or add a soft curl—a little grooming goes a long way on camera!


We want these photos to feel like a page out of a bedtime story—peaceful, soft, and full of childhood wonder. If you’re unsure what to bring, feel free to reach out! We’re happy to help you pick the perfect look.
