After three girls, this sweet Cypress family finally welcomed a baby boy—and the love and laughter were off the charts. His big sisters were absolutely obsessed, and I had the best time documenting their first days together at home. They were in all-new territory, and watching them fawn over their tiny baby brother was such a joy.
This colorful newborn session is the perfect example of how vibrant newborn photography can feel when you embrace your unique style. Instead of overly posed images, we focused on real connection—those little moments of joy, chaos, giggles, and snuggles that make up the newborn days. Fewer stiff shots, more life. It’s what I love most about lifestyle newborn photography. This colorful newborn session jumped off the computer screen as I edited it, and I was just dying to share it.
One thing that made this session stand out? The space. This family’s home was filled with soft neutrals and bold pops of color—think deep blues, sunshine yellow, and lively green accents. It was starkly different from the typical “light and airy” sessions you usually see on your feed, but so refreshing. It made the entire gallery feel bright, unique, and fun.
And honestly, it wasn’t just the home—it was the people. The colorful spirit of this family matched the aesthetic perfectly. Their energy, their playfulness, their vibe—it was all reflected in the environment around them. I especially loved their built-in bookshelves, which were organized by color (yes, please!) with bold pillows and a cute little frame on top. It created the perfect nook to smoosh all four siblings together for some of the most heart-melting photos. That’s the kind of storytelling that makes lifestyle newborn photography so personal and meaningful.
Creating a colorful newborn session is definitely a bold choice—and it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. But if you’re the type of person who loves to sprinkle color into everything you do, I say go for it! You probably already know your way around coordinating colors in your home or wardrobe, so don’t be afraid to let that shine in your photos.
Adding color is such a great way to make your session feel like you. Not every newborn gallery has to be minimalist beige or pure white. Color can bring warmth, personality, and depth to your images in a way that reflects your everyday life. Want to add personality to your newborn photos? Start here:
Before we begin, I always take a few minutes to walk around your home and scout out the best storytelling spots. Every home has its own rhythm, and I want your newborn session to feel like a true reflection of that.
Whether it’s the cozy corner where you rock your baby to sleep, the bookshelf stacked with bedtime stories, or the couch where your toddlers climb all over you—those are the places where the real moments happen. And that’s exactly what I aim to capture. Your gallery should feel warm, lived-in, and uniquely yours. That’s the magic of working with a Cypress newborn photographer who prioritizes lifestyle over perfection.
