What Does the Fox Say? Woodlands Creatures Nursery is the Cutest Theme!

Woodlands & Animal Decor Makes for Unique and Whimsical Baby Portraits by Sarah Borchgrevink

Good morning, friends! Today’s blog post is super cute because what is more darling, precious, and basically amazing than a newborn baby who is styled to reflect adorable Woodlands creatures? First things first: this is a really cute theme that works well for both boys or girls. I have found that many parents enjoy selecting this theme, even if they’re not finding out Baby’s gender, because it’s natural yet truly fun!

Cameron’s Nursery Inspiration

Precious baby girl, Cameron, was an absolute dream to photograph in my Houston Newborn Baby Portrait Studio! She visited at just over a week old and her parents were super fun to hang out with for the morning. Not only did she rock her session, we had a lot of fun together because her session was all about adventure! You see, even though Cameron is a girl, it’s totally okay to stray from the typical girl colors, such as pink and white. Instead, there are also many options for parents who are looking for unique images of their brand new infant. For example, Cameron’s Daddy, Simon, relayed he would like to evoke a sense of wonder and the greater outdoors in his little one. This adorable nursery theme truly is the cutest!

Her parents sent me the following images from their home:

Cooper & Wildlife Animal Friends

Cooper’s sweet Mama, Rachel, booked a full newborn collection with me and was kind enough to share an image of his bedroom which is inspired by all things neutral, trendy, and Woodlands creatures. For instance, colors in his bedroom are taupe, tan, grey, onyx, charcoal, and all things rustic and timeless, just like my own newborn brand, ha!

Creative Approach and Influence

When designing a posed newborn session, each set up should reflect things that make you happy! I like to see images of your baby’s nursery because it relays many important facts to me such as the style you like, colors, the textures that pique your interest, and also tells me if you’re more classic or trendy, both of which make for a wonderful session! This in mind, you’re sent a newborn styling questionnaire, but the rest is up to me. All props and styling is provided for you; just bring Baby and leave the rest to me. For example, an adorable bear bonnet + the super cute matching teddy bear makes my heart so happy. Plus, you may be interested in knowing that these classic teddy bear bonnets are the top requested prop by parents!

For example, part of creating the Best Houston Newborn Photography, a few must have items are: texture, interest, amazing light, gorgeous vintage-inspired props, and of course stunning styling. To elaborate, these items come together to create a wonderful portrait of the light in your life: your baby! When Jessica, who is the fantastic Mama to Quinn, featured above, shared her vision with me, she relayed she really likes neutrals. This in mind, I chose an adorable wooden stump bucket that I’ve been saving for the perfect baby. We used a chocolate brown knit hat, and a taupe layer to add a dreamy accent to baby’s bucket image.

Babies in floor props are always a favorite part of my time in studio. I love when their little hands are folded perfectly. These are examples of how to incorporate nursery themes, such as Woodlands creatures and animals, into your newborn session while also remaining timeless and true to my newborn branding.
