Selecting the perfect colours for your newborn session is an exciting yet crucial decision. This will set the tone for your photographs. As a newborn photographer, I understand the importance of choosing colors that not only complement your baby’s skin tone but also evoke the desired mood and aesthetic. Here’s a guide to help you navigate the process of selecting the ideal color scheme for your newborn session.
First and foremost, consider the overall vibe you want to achieve with your photos. Are you envisioning a soft and delicate look with lighter tones? Or do you prefer a more vibrant and playful palette? Understanding your aesthetic preferences will guide you in choosing the right colors for your session.
Next, take into account your baby’s gender and nursery decor. While traditional pink and blue are popular choices for baby girls and boys respectively, don’t feel limited by gender stereotypes. Colors like green, purple, cream, tan, grey, and yellow offer versatility and can be beautifully incorporated into your session regardless of gender.
When selecting colors, it’s essential to choose hues that complement each other harmoniously. Opt for a combination of two colors that work well together and create visual interest without overwhelming the scene. For example, pairing soft pink with cream creates a timeless and feminine look, while combining grey and yellow lends a modern and cheerful vibe. I always recommend choosing 1 neutral colour (cream, grey, tan) and one colour (pink, purple, yellow, blue, green).
Additionally, consider the season and time of year when scheduling your newborn session. Lighter colours can be perfect for springtime sessions. While deeper jewel tones like purple and green can be well-suited for fall and winter sessions.
Ultimately, the key to choosing the perfect colors for your newborn session is to select hues that resonate with you and reflect your personal style. Whether you prefer soft and subtle tones or bold and vibrant colors, trust your instincts and choose colors that make you feel happy and inspired. With the right color scheme, your newborn session will be a stunning reflection of your family’s unique personality and style.
