One of the most exciting parts of planning your newborn session is choosing the color scheme that will bring the entire experience together. It’s about more than just picking a few favorite shades—it’s about thinking of how the photos will fit in with your home decor, your family’s aesthetic, and ultimately, the memories you’ll treasure for years to come. Here are a few tips to help guide you through the process:

1. Consider the Room Where Photos Will Be Displayed

When selecting a color scheme, think about where you’ll display the photos in your home. Will they go in the nursery, living room, or maybe a hallway gallery wall? Matching the color scheme to the décor of that room is a great way to create harmony between the images and your home’s overall style.

Nursery Colors

The nursery is often the first room you decorate for your baby, so it holds a lot of sentimental value. If you’ve gone with a specific theme or color palette in the nursery, consider continuing that theme in your newborn session. This will create a cohesive look between the room and the photos, making them the perfect complement to your baby’s space.

2. Incorporate Your Favorite Colors

What colors make you happy? Your newborn session is a reflection of your family’s style, and choosing colors you genuinely love will make these photos even more meaningful. Think about colors that you naturally gravitate towards when decorating your home or picking out clothes.

If you have a favorite hue that you always find yourself incorporating into your decor or wardrobe, it’s a great option to include in your baby’s session.

Overall Aesthetic

Is your home decor modern, rustic, or maybe a bit bohemian? Your overall aesthetic can serve as inspiration for the color scheme. If you love clean, minimalistic vibes, neutral tones with pops of color can give your newborn session that modern edge. On the other hand, if your style is more natural and earthy, shades of green, brown, and cream might be the way to go.
