Are there Dresses and Props for the parents?

If parents decide to be in the shoot they can use our Props and Sceneries. Moms can wear our Dresses. We have around 100 haute couture dresses in our studio in different sizes, colors and styles. There are many dresses to match your baby's clothes, your expectations and wishes. Furthermore there are high heels, accessories, jewellery, hats and many more to wear.

Dads need to take their own clothes to the studio. We advise to take 2-3 sets in order to be able to change/match their clothes with the sceneries, baby's and mom's dresses. Dads' clothes should be smart casual, casual elegant. The best colors are: black, white, brown, dark blue. Avoid bright colors and large logos on your clothes.
