If you’re prepping for lifestyle newborn photos and wondering about what colors will look best, let me give away a major tip. Neutral colors for family pictures are magic for these sessions!
As a newborn photographer, I’m all about capturing those sweet, fleeting moments when your little one first arrives, and choosing the right colors will play a huge role in making those photos truly shine.
Think soft, dreamy shades like creamy whites, gentle grays, warm beiges, and the palest of pastels.
Just check out the neutral colors in the photos of the Treen family featured in this post! Gosh, I love these photos SOOOO much!
Why neutral colors? Well, first of all, these colors are timeless. They will look amazing on your walls in frames or canvases! And they won’t clash with your home decor or look dated in a few years as trends change. When you look back at these precious photos decades from now – those neutral tones will still look just as beautiful as the day they were taken!
Another reason I love neutral colors for family pictures is that they keep the focus right where it should be: on your newborn and the beautiful connection you share. They won’t distract the eye like bright colors or bold patterns will. Instead, they create a calm and peaceful vibe for your lifestyle newborn photos (regardless of whether you’ve actually experienced calm and peace with a new baby at home!).
In addition, neutral colors are quite versatile! Whether the studio (or your home for in-home sessions) is light and airy or cozy and intimate, neutrals work beautifully in any setting.
And let’s be honest, neutral colors are just easy. They complement everyone’s skin tones and make choosing outfits a breeze. I love that there’s no need to stress about clashing colors or busy patterns! A simple, neutral wardrobe allows the genuine emotions and precious details of your lifestyle newborn photos to truly stand out. So, when you’re planning your session, think neutral – you won’t regret it! These colors will help create stunning, timeless images you’ll cherish forever.
As always, I’m here to help every family with styling outfits for their photo session. Part of my service offerings as a full-service newborn photographer in Greensboro and surrounding Triad area is helping clients choose what to wear. I even have a client closet from which you can borrow outfits!
