Black and white, neutrals, bright colors…what’s your preference when it comes to newborn pictures? For Waylon’s newborn session, we chose to work with lots of neutrals. These work beautifully as home décor—especially when you’re planning to give framed photos to grandparents and other family members as gifts. Since grays, whites, and creams generally go with just about any color scheme, colors like these make it easy for the recipient to find a place on their walls where the new baby picture looks perfect!

Just because most of our session focused on neutrals though, didn’t mean we couldn’t incorporate a few brighter colors too. For our brothers portraits we picked out some nice autumn tones. Big brother was a little young to hold the new baby on his own, so we created some shots of the two of them next to each other instead. I’m sure they’re going to be best buddies!

Waylon had the best little nose! I had to get some closeup black and white shots of all those perfect details.

Baby boy did great, and even gave us some smiles while Mom and Dad were holding him for our family pics.

And he loved being swaddled, so we did plenty of wrapped poses to keep him calm and happy!

What a sweet little family!
