Newborn Photography Trend: Neutrals | Ann Lyle Photography | Boston, MA
Keeping the newborn session very simple is the newest and most popular request for my recent sessions. The request for simple scenes and soft muted colors is 70-80% of my sessions today .
When I started my business in 2013, there could not be enough props in a newborn session. In fact, nearly every scene was themed like Harry Potter, super heroes, babies dressed like their parent’s professions, etc. Bright, colorful, and over-the-top. Still cute, but hardly ever requested now.
Today, the sessions are all about the baby and celebrating their sweet simple beauty. With the exception of a few hats and tiny bears or flowers, excessive props are rarely used. The trend for newborn sessions with a timeless look to the photos is the top request. As a newborn photographer, I welcome the style and love the look and focus on the baby.
And, if you still want a crazy scene with 10,000 props….don’t worry, I still have them! :)
