Your baby’s newborn photo session is an occasion to celebrate this amazing little one who has just come into your family. While it’s standard for newborn photos to include some portraits of your baby only and some of you with your baby, some parents who have other kids ask if they should include their kids in the newborn photos too. As a Seattle area newborn photographer, I’m happy to share my insights and recommendations.

Your newborn photos are so much more than pictures of your cute baby. They should be sentimental heirlooms that bring your mind back to this amazing time in your life as well as stunning custom artwork that you’re eager to display in your home. As a photographer, what I provide is art as much as it is a service for your family. With that in mind, let’s talk about the color scheme for your newborn photos, why it matters, and how to find the perfect color scheme for your newborn photo shoot.
