What Your Baby Should Wear for the Photo Shoot (no need to get rattled about it…)

January 11, 2009 By Stephanie

rattled logoIn my last post, I explained that simple, bright-colored clothing is often the best choice for photo shoots involving babies and children.

Little ones don’t need bells and whistles, lace or buttons, brand names or busy patterns. Their gummy smiles and glittering eyes and baby soft skin will capture the camera just fine.

Instead of starched ties and scratchy tights, consider something comfortable and casual.

rattled organic baby clothingTake, for example, the simplicity of the pieces in the Rattled clothing line, a new brand that features solid-colored organic items for babies and tots (0-24 months) that can be easily mixed-and-matched with just about anything. Ranging in price from $12-$21, the collection includes hats, pants, short and long sleeve tees, and short and long sleeve onesies in 12 vibrant colors.

Rattled is an eco-friendly, mom-owned company that gives 10% of their annual profits to children in need. Thus, by shopping at Rattled, you’re supporting three great causes: our world, a hard-working mama, and wee ones in need. 

rattled long sleeve onesie pinkWIN IT! One winner will receive a long-sleeve onesie, pants, and a hat from the Rattled collection in the color/size of his/her choice. To enter, leave a comment on this post prior to Monday, January 19 at midnight (Don’t forget to follow the rules…all generic comments like “Enter me!,” “Love it,” and “Cool stuff!” will be disqualified.). * Winner must provide a U.S. mailing address.

*UPDATE* The winner is #25 Denise Montgomery. Congratulations!

    Very nice clothing and in such bright colors! I would buy all their purple clothing, haha. And maybe some red, too.

    I’m lovin’ that Deep Purple in size 18-24 months for the entire set. Great concept of mix and match. I’m just not brave enough to try the white even though it looks wonderful. I would have to be adding appliques over time to cover stubborn pasta stains I couldn’t get out.

  11. Lenae says

    January 19, 2009 at 8:03 pm

    I need to know the background of the photoshoot. Grey will work for most backgrounds. I bring several sticky backed designs to place on the clothes.

  12. Candie L says

    January 19, 2009 at 6:13 pm

    I like the simple colors and the fact that it is organic. I have been wanting to give organic outfits to my nephew.

    Thank you

    They have some very awesome bright colors.

    January 19, 2009 at 2:39 pm

    I had a hard time choosing between the Pink and Lime green… 2 of my favorite colors.

    I’ve never really heard of this brand before, but I love that it’s 100% organic cotton, and I love that they donate to children in need! Awesome company

  15. Marcy Strahan says

    January 19, 2009 at 1:12 pm

    I love the bright colors & they look very soft & confortable!

  16. Mary S. says

    January 19, 2009 at 12:41 pm

    The style & colors. I have my first grand daughter on the way. I can’t wait to dress her up in pretty bright colors.

  17. dorothy l says

    January 19, 2009 at 12:12 pm

    I love the style and colors I would probably pick something in the lime green wish they made ones to fit me

  18. Denise says

    January 19, 2009 at 10:53 am

    Too cute! I have a niece that could really use it.

  19. daniel says

    January 19, 2009 at 10:24 am

    These look really nice.

  20. Teresa P. says

    January 19, 2009 at 9:20 am

    These are really nice. My 7 month old would be super comfy hanging out in these duds. :) I like the fact that they are organic cotton and the colors are great…don’t know if I would mix and match or just do one color…something to think about. :) even though he is 7 (okay 8 months tomorrow) months old, we’d have to go the 12-18 month size. He’s taking after his older brother…his length is almost off the charts.

  21. Carol Drury says

    January 19, 2009 at 8:48 am

    love these – I like the turqoise and brown – either or for top and botrtom and like the long sleeve onsie and pants in size 6 – 12 months

  22. Jennifer Barr says

    January 19, 2009 at 8:33 am

    They have alot of unique colors for thier onsies! I love that shade of blue :)

  23. Leah says

    January 19, 2009 at 8:19 am

    This is a great collection of kids clothes. It is even extra special knowing that Rattled donates 10% of it’s profits to kids who need it the most!

  24. Brooke Timms says

    January 19, 2009 at 6:39 am

    I’d loved Rattled clothing ever since it was started, but I’ve never really had a reason to buy anything from the collection. After recently finding out that I am almost 8 weeks pregnant with our first child, I cannot wait to own lots of Rattled mix and match pieces!

  25. Rosanne says

    January 18, 2009 at 10:31 pm

    I like the pink long sleeved shirt, the black pants in 18-24 months and the grey hat in large

  26. Kerry says

    January 18, 2009 at 10:03 pm

    I love that you can mix and match outfits. The bright colors are fantastic, I really like the green and blue

  27. Chrysa says

    January 18, 2009 at 10:02 pm

    January 18, 2009 at 9:18 pm

    The kid in the advertisement is precious.
    My 5 month old would look so cute in an all orange outfit from them. (waterprincess812@aol.com)

    January 18, 2009 at 8:53 pm

    I always try to have the grandkids dressed in solid, bright colors if I know I am going to try to get portrait type photos. Now if I could just get Mom and Dad to STOP telling them to say “Cheese”! Cute clothes on the site!

  30. LissaL says

    January 18, 2009 at 7:40 pm

    I was not aware that bright colors make for better photos. I just always try to find something that matches-needless to say we have a lot of pics with blue & white in them. I love the Rattled line & am extremely drawn to the bright colors especially the green & purple! Thanks for a great giveaway.

  31. Veronica L. says

    January 18, 2009 at 6:53 pm

    I just love the simplicity of their clothes, plain & simple yet still vibrant with colors. Thanks for a great giveaway :)

  32. Lisa C says

    January 18, 2009 at 6:33 pm

  33. Vicki Wurgler says

    January 18, 2009 at 5:33 pm

  34. elizabeth wazio says

    January 18, 2009 at 5:17 am

    My husband has been alarmed by all the pink clothes we’ve received for our little girl, it would be nice to offer him some alternatives, browns and blues and yellows….

  41. Martha P says

    This would be great to win. Our little one is running out of clothes that fit to wear and I love the simplicity and cuteness of these onesies
    thanks

  49. NGS says

    January 17, 2009 at 9:50 am

    I would totally get a combo of brown and orange (our college colors – go Bowling Green Falcons!). I would give them to my best friend who has a sixteen month old!!

  50. Debbie Criss says

    January 17, 2009 at 12:52 am

    Looks very nice

  52. Belinda A. says

    January 16, 2009 at 6:27 pm

    I agree, I like dressing my daughter in bright solids for photo shoots, I find that too fussy patterns or too many props tend to clutter up the photo and detract from the beautiful subject:)

  53. Barbara J says

    January 16, 2009 at 5:06 pm

    Cutsey patterns, graphics, and sayings have their place but these saturated colors are so timeless. Just like a woman’s classic pieces, these clothes will never go out of style. Thanks for bringing them to my attention.

  54. carol says

    January 16, 2009 at 4:54 pm

  55. Emily says

    January 16, 2009 at 3:41 pm

  56. Amanda Chapman says

  63. Elisa H. says

    January 13, 2009 at 9:32 pm

    I just found this site and I’m loving it. I have been trying to figure out what to take my little girls 18 month pictures in. I really like the idea of doing them in solid colors. You are right babies and toddlers have so much personality that they don’t need anything but simple. Thank you for the great idea.

  64. Carol W says

    January 13, 2009 at 6:08 pm

    I love the look and comfort of these clothes. My 5 month old granddaughter has red hair and sensitive skin. These organics should be so comfortable for her. All colors look good on her but I think I like purple best. So glad I found you. Her mother will be too!

  65. Jennifer W. says

    January 13, 2009 at 5:38 pm

    The Aqua Blue is my favorite color!

  66. Jenna Metherell says

    January 13, 2009 at 5:17 pm

    I’m so Rattled about this site I cant stand it! Cash, my 7 month old son, has a personality of his own (helped by Mommy) already…too many patterns out there, keep it colorful, keep it soft and keep it simple! So proud of my Greenville girl. Love, Jenna and Cash

  71. AJacobsen says

    January 13, 2009 at 2:40 pm

    I love the red and the gray for my little guy, but really LOVE the pink and purple. I’d love it if they made the shirts and pants in larger sizes so my older children could wear them as well. They look so soft and comfy!

  72. Kate says

    January 13, 2009 at 2:40 pm

    These would be great for my youngest. The hard part would be picking the color for him. I like the orange, the brown, the navy, the black … can’t beat 100% Super-soft organic cotton

  73. Julia Magrath says

    January 13, 2009 at 2:40 pm

    I’m torn between the purple and the orange. These clothes look so comfy, I wish they came in my size :)

  74. Eloise C says

    January 13, 2009 at 1:59 pm

    These clothes are really neat and I love that they are all organic. I love both the purple and pink onesie with the matching pants and hats. Really wonderful styles, thanks so much for such a great opportunity, this would look great on my little darling!

  80. Laura says

    January 13, 2009 at 11:39 am

    This is awesome. The one thing we do try to do for family ‘photo shoots’ (posed, with a paid photographer) is dress in similar colors with simple styled clothes. We’ll pick 3 colors (brown, white and jeans for example) and everyone can mix and match within those colors, as they like. Works well.

  81. tina says

    January 13, 2009 at 11:22 am

    new grandchild on the way, would love to try this line of clothes

  83. simone says

    January 13, 2009 at 9:51 am

    I love all the bright colors this brand offers. I typically outfit Maxwell in BabySoy brand clothing which are the softest clothes I have come across, but I am always willing to try out new organics. Its nice to have separates to mix and match. Thanks!

  84. Alexandra says

    January 13, 2009 at 9:17 am

    Always looking for simple yet beautiful clothes that will get you through a few weeks before showing wear. Organic is important as well due to the high turnover we have in clothing items. Having something that can be worn again and again would be a comfort. I like the lime green one the best – so bright!

  85. Diana says

    January 13, 2009 at 8:44 am

    these seem like wonderful sturdy clothes. I love that they are organic and simple, so they can easily be paired with other clothes or by themselves. thanks!

  98. Maureen says

    January 12, 2009 at 6:45 pm

    My sister is very into organic. Especially the items which will be touching the skin of her children. She has a 3 yr old, a 2 yr old and a 4 week old. She was so excited to receive a sweater that I had knit out of organic cotton. Since the Rattled clothing is organic I am going to let my sister know of the site. She will be thrilled. I love the pants because the legs can be so tender. The colors are perfect for youngsters too.

    January 12, 2009 at 6:22 pm

  111. Pam says

    January 12, 2009 at 9:37 am

    I agree with your comments on photo shoots. I think that the best pictures are of little ones dressed all in white. They look very angelic.

  112. Erica says

    January 12, 2009 at 9:33 am

    Cheeks just got a bunch of new clothes for Christmas, but we can always use more. Such a drooler she is! I don’t think I’ve ever felt organic clothing before, either; is it softer or stiffer than “regular” clothes?

  113. Stacy says

    January 12, 2009 at 9:20 am

    This would be nice to have for our first greatgrandchild. Thanks so much!

  114. Jennifer says

    January 12, 2009 at 9:13 am

    I have never heard of this brand before. I love that it is organic and beautiful vibrant colors. The colors would be great for the photo sessions that we were given for my daughter as a baby shower gift!

    I never seem to have such simple clothes laying around, and I often regret that, when it comes time for photos. I love the colors that are offered by Rattled. I think I’d have a hard time choosing, really, but it would be so fun to win! (I just wish they had clothes for bigger people, too, to make it *perfect* for sibling photos!)

    My dad is setting up a photography studio and I can imagine my baby wearing one of these red onesies for a Christmas 09 photo shoot!

    Love the simplicity of the clothes.~The orange is great! Most of all, I like that they started the company with the idea of giving to those children who are in need.

    this is a great line–how simple, yet all that babies really need! i like the long sleeve t-shirt…onesies are nice, but i like dressing my daughter in leggings and a shirt–couldn’t be easier! i am planning on making her an outfit for her first birthday and have been searching for the perfect long sleeved t-shirt–i just may have found it thanks to you! i like the green, orange, pink and am fond of the blue color especially.

    The Rattled clothing looks really nice and comfortable (it reminds me of hospital scrubs). I like the basic colors as well as the brights.

    I’ve never heard of this brand before, but I love the simplicity! I’d have a hard time choosing between the brown and the orange. And gray too! Love them all.
