Living in Manhasset, I am spoiled with the amount of shopping we have in a one-mile radius. All year long, I look for newborn, children and maternity clothing to feature in my Long Island studio. My client closet has every type of clothing you can think of - traditional, modern, boho, colorful, neutral...you truly could not ask me for something I don't already have. I like to say I was drawn to family photography so I could fuel my online shopping addiction!
With the onset of online shopping, it's so easy to find really beautiful organic and sustainable clothing for your children delivered right to your door. However, there's something special about browsing a shop to find a really special gift or outfit.
As a family photographer with many of my client sessions happening before your child turns 3 years old, you can rest assured that your children will be outfitted accordingly based on our set and your wishes for the photo session. However, for your own big events, small events, or even just every day attire, you can be sure that one of the stores on this list will be perfect for you!
Here are some of my absolute favorite baby and children boutiques in Nassau County.
ANB Baby, Wantagh - ANB Baby began in 2006 in a storefront in Brooklyn. Having lived in Queens for years, I shopped at ANB for tons of gifts for my friends and colleagues. No one was more thrilled than me when ANB opened in Wantagh making my move to the suburbs absolutely complete. They carry well known large brands as well as cool and unique designer brands. Their mission is to bring high-quality products to parents and caregivers and to help make decisions easy!
Caroline and Laura, Cedarhurst - As a woman-owned children's clothing boutique, you know there will be plenty of unique finds at Caroline and Laura. I have been lucky enough to travel all across Europe for most of the last 15 years and I'm always finding small European brands that I love. Caroline and Laura is one of the few clothing stores that carries many of them. From Dutch favorite Sanetta to Italy's own Fracomina and to one of my favorites Tutto Piccolo from Miami!
Tutti, Greenvale - Tutti is a family-owned and operated business with over 30 years of experience in children's fashion. The family previously owned Tutti Bambini locations in NYC (used to love this shop!), the Hamptons and Greenwich. I love that this is a store with a second generation clothing store owner and is always so on-trend. I love their baby clothes and best of all, they have a really wonderful boy's clothing selection. I can't tell you how many moms tell me they wish boys had more stylish clothes. You'll find them here!
Koukla Children's Boutique, Bellmore - I love that this children's boutique doesn't have a strong online presence with online shopping. Browsing this store is one of my favorite pastimes. Located on the south shore of Long Island, they specialize in clothing and accessories unique and trendy for babies and children alike. They offer an exclusive and eclectic mix of American and European brands. I love that you can find an every day outfit as well as an outfit for a special event all in one place.
Feel free to drop me a message if you have shopped at any of these boutiques above or any that you're interested in checking out! If you're not ready to commit to a special outfit of your own, perhaps you're ready to take a spin in my client closet! Reach out for a consultation to book a family session of your own!
