Choosing what to wear for your session shouldn’t feel stressful — it should feel exciting.
One of the most common questions I get before maternity, newborn, or family sessions is: “What should I wear?” That’s exactly why I offer a thoughtfully curated client closet here at Katie Leavine Photography in upstate NY.
My goal is to make your session feel effortless from start to finish — and that includes helping you look and feel beautiful without running out to buy something new.
What Is a Client Closet?
A client closet is a collection of hand-selected wardrobe pieces available for my clients to borrow for their session.
These aren’t just random dresses on a rack. Every piece has been chosen intentionally to photograph beautifully in my light-filled, clean, and airy style. They complement my studio tones, flatter a variety of body types, and photograph timelessly so your images won’t feel trendy or dated years from now.
The closet primarily includes:
- Flowing maternity gowns
- Soft, neutral dresses for moms
- Select newborn wraps and simple baby pieces
- Coordinated pieces that pair beautifully for family sessions
Everything is designed to make styling simple and cohesive.
Why I Offer a Client Closet
I know you have a lot on your plate — especially during pregnancy or those early newborn days.
The last thing I want is for you to feel overwhelmed trying to piece together outfits that coordinate, photograph well, and still feel like you. My client closet takes that pressure off.
It Creates a Cohesive, Timeless Look
Because I carefully select each piece, everything works beautifully with my studio light, neutral backdrops, and natural editing style. The result? Soft, organic images that feel connected and elevated.
It Saves You Time and Money
There’s no need to invest in a dress you may only wear once. You can simply borrow something stunning that’s already been chosen with photography in mind.
It Helps You Feel Confident
The pieces in my closet are flattering, flow beautifully, and move gently — which is especially important for maternity sessions. When you feel comfortable and confident, it shows in every single image.
Client Closet for Maternity Sessions
Maternity sessions are such a special time. Your body is doing something incredible, and you deserve to feel beautiful.
The gowns in my client closet are:
- Neutral and soft-toned
- Flowing and bump-friendly
- Designed to photograph beautifully in both studio and outdoor sessions
- Elegant but still natural
Whether you prefer something fitted and romantic or loose and airy, we’ll choose something that aligns with your comfort level and personal style.
Client Closet for Newborn Sessions
For newborn sessions, I keep things simple — just like my approach.
I offer:
- Soft wraps
- Neutral swaddles
- Simple textures
- Minimal, timeless pieces
My newborn style is baby-led with very little prop use, so everything in the closet supports that natural, organic feel. The focus stays on your baby — not on busy outfits or distracting accessories.
Coordinating the Whole Family
One of the best parts of the client closet is how easily it allows us to coordinate everyone.
Once we select a dress for mom, I help guide the rest of the family’s wardrobe around that piece. I’ll suggest neutral tones, soft textures, and simple layers that photograph beautifully together.
You never have to figure it out alone — I walk you through it step by step.
How the Client Closet Process Works
- After booking, you’ll receive styling guidance.
- We’ll discuss your preferences, session location, and overall vision.
- You can view available pieces and select your favorite.
- I help coordinate the rest of the family’s outfits around your selection.
It’s simple, stress-free, and designed to make you feel supported.
A Stress-Free Experience from Start to Finish
My goal is always the same: to create a calm, guided experience where you feel taken care of.
The client closet is just one more way I serve you.
You don’t need to worry about trends, overthinking styling, or purchase something new.
You simply show up, settle in, and let me take care of the rest.
If you’re planning a maternity, newborn, or family session in upstate NY and would love a wardrobe experience that feels effortless and elevated, I would love to connect with you.
