For the love of all things neutral: natural, simple, timeless newborn boy color scheme.

Unique and Dreamy Baby Session Styling By Sarah Borchgrevink

Hi, there! When sweet JJ's mama booked his posed newborn session, she mentioned she loves neutral colors stemming from a tan color pallet. While tan is gorgeous, there are also other neutrals to consider that add warmth and simplicity to the stunning baby portraits I create. For example, a few colors to consider, if you're a fan of all things neutral, would be:

  • beige

  • bronze

  • brown

  • suntan

  • olive-brown

  • tawny

  • ecru

  • cream

  • buff

  • biscuit

  • khaki

These are also different hues of tan and make neutral lovers hearts' soar! For each newborn session I document, I send a styling questionnaire to parents filled with details so they may share their preferences. This way, the colors you love make their way into the session and the colors you dislike won't make an appearance. I love creating the Best Houston Newborn Photography and do so by treating my clients like individuals. 

Here are some stunning style options for all things his mama likes!

This style of newborn wrapping is absolutely a favorite of mine. It makes them look like a perfect little package and the tan color is pure, fresh, natural and rustic. I like to remove distracting props and do so in order to make sure baby is the star of the photos. His little feet and toes, oh my!

Unique newborn photography styling is a specialty of mine. Instead of using props you can find in your local home decor stores, I pull inspiration and items from vendors all across the world. :-) This crate was made in the UK and this farmhouse bowl came from a vendor in Poland. Even though I've been photographing newborns since 2013, I am still working on collecting the best props for your sessions.

Texture is an amazing way to style your neutral and natural newborn sessions! The layer under baby against the wooden bowl is a great contrast.

Potato sack pose, oh my goodness! Parents also chuckle at how perfectly round and precious baby is. This style of wrapping is truly a bundle of joy. This ecru textile is also the best organic way to wrap a baby because the fabric flows and is timeless. I also love adding adorable newborn accessories like this bonnet because it emphasises baby's features without detracting from who baby is as a person. :-)

Finally, this rustic galvanized bucket is such a dream and is often requested by parents. I originally bought this for my sitter 6 month milestone sessions, but overtime I have started using it with newborns, even though it is on the large size, haha!
