Precious baby girl Vidya is the firstborn daughter of mom, Ritisha and Dad, Abhishek. Dreamt of and delighted in, the arrival of a precious baby should be celebrated! One way is to commemorate with artistic newborn photography. There are many styles used by a newborn photographer artist. More than point-and-click, a newborn portrait artist thinks through every element of baby photography.
How To Do Newborn Photography
There are as many styles of newborn portraits as there are photographer artists. They key is to find someone whose work you fall in love with. Maybe you like light and airy, candid or the use of newborn photography props. These are all great and fun! What artistic newborn photography captures is the essence of these early days. Here is a sneak peek into how I created a perfect newborn portrait for Vidya, that her parents will cherish forever.
Newborn Photography Ideas
As a newborn photographer artist, I have many ideas. But, ultimately, the most important element of any photography session is the family themselves. Here are some of my priorities when I style an artistic newborn photography session:
- I believe in the importance of capturing photos that highlight emotion and connection.
- Photos should clearly display the feelings of the people in them, especially with new parents.
- Capturing the intimacy of relationships is paramount.
I exercise the highest quality and best practices in my photography skills. But that is only the first step. The artistry of these experiences is vital. My abilities as an artist begin with setting the right environment.
Newborn Photography Studio
My photography studio is the first thing clients see. I feel that beautiful portraits of the people you love are the most beautiful form of art in the world. Hanging a family portrait on the wall is a declaration of love and commitment. Every person who walks through your door hears this message loud and clear: these are the people you value, love and cherish. You should want to proudly display artistic photos in your home. This means that the color scheme and style should fit seamlessly into your home’s decor.
For this beautiful family, mom communicated that Vidya’s nursery was decorated in grey and cream with gold hardware. The rest of their home was grey, cream and had blue and gold accents. The family requested that this custom newborn session be coordinated with their home decor. Additionally, they wanted newborn photography colors and props that included:
- Soft pinks
- Soft, muted greens
- Lace
- Flowers
- Headties
- Fur
Because I have done newborn photography for a long time, I have a significant number of newborn props that will fit anyone’s style. By special request, we used a gold accented newborn bed in this newborn photo shoot.
Photographer Artist for Newborns
I am proud of the fact that many clients come in stunned when they witness how I have setup the environment for their artistic newborn photography session. The carefully decorated space reflects the initial conversations we had regarding their color palette and style. It’s wonderful to wow them when they realize just how customized the newborn session will be and just how well it illustrates their taste.

Memorable Newborn Photos
What is artistic newborn photography? It is no less than the privilege of intercepting each precious blink, squishy baby face and drawn out yawn. From hiccups to grins, everything about God’s creatures feels unforgettable. And yet, as the years stretch on, memory does fade. The newborn photographer recognizes this, and captures these most magical moments. Even if you forget, the artistic newborn photography on your wall will remind you of this season… forever.

Hi there Anele. I am glad that you enjoyed the pinks and the flowers. They are so much fun to use and make the most of for a little newborn girl. That little bed has been a favorite newborn prop by my clients. Thanks for sharing your excitement about my artistic newborn photography!
Congratulations on putting together some beautiful pictures of a beautiful family. The colors blend beautifully with the skin tones and this little one is precious. While the backgrounds and colors are soft and comfortable, you have captured some amazing facial expressions! I especially love the parents beautiful smiles in the group shot. The baby looks like an angel with her sweet little smile while she lays on the little nest of florals and fluff. Great job!

These are absolutely gorgeous!! One thing that I have always loved is to have photos displayed on my walls. Nothing like photos of my kids as baby’s hanging on the wall for everyone to see.
Thank you Shunta! I agree that there is nothing more beautiful to hang on your walls that portraits of the ones you love most. They warm my heart and fill my tank. Artistic newborn photography is especially welcome on the walls when the children grow up and no longer live at home. Memories captured remind us of our love! So glad you enjoyed this newborn photo collection.
