Rediscovery | Fairfax County Newborn Baby Photographer

I was cleaning up the other day (picking up all the legos that had migrated to my son's room) and came across one of our family photo albums. I hadn't look at it in awhile so I took a few minutes to sit with it and look the pages. Some of the photos are my very favorites and I clearly remember. While others seemed almost brand new to me since I hadn't looked at them in awhile.

And I just sat there looking at them. And me being me, I got teary eyed thinking back and remembering. I am always proud of my son, my family, the life that my husband and I have built. But somehow seeing it laid out in front of me, I just felt it that much more.

I made my husband look at a few of them too (and he laughed at me for being so sentimental), and then back on the shelf the album went. Waiting to be re-discovered another day by someone else.

If I'm lucky, maybe it will be me again.

What colors should you incorporate in your newborn session?

One of the questions I always ask clients before newborn sessions is about what colors they would like to use for their session.

Having a cohesive color palette goes such a long way to creating creating beautiful images and artwork and I want to make sure to include colors that speak to you the most. I work exclusively with neutral, natural color palettes: whites, grays, browns, tans, and pale pink (for my baby girls). But neutrals are far from boring or routine. I use different textures and shades to bring interest to images without being distracting, and to ensure that your images are as unique as your family.

I always use white in my newborn sessions. It’s a signature of mine, and white is a classic timeless choice that photographs well for every baby. And it provides a perfect transition between family portraits, which are done on a white background, and newborn portraits.

What you select next it up to you though. Here are some of my favorite combinations:

For boys:

- white & dark gray
- white & light gray
- white & brown

For girls:

- white & light gray
- white & and pink
- all white

Ultimately, you can't go wrong with any color combination that you pick. When making your selection, I recommend choosing the colors that speak to you most. Because they are generally all neutrals, any wall art that you select is likely to go well in any nursery or room in your home. And when in doubt, you always have the option for "artist's choice" - in which I make the selections for you.
