My Favorite Color for Newborn Sessions

When it comes to newborn photography, every detail matters—from lighting and posing to the colors we choose. If you had to guess, what do you think my favorite color is for newborn sessions?

Sage.

Sage is not just beautiful—it photographs so well. There’s something about its soft, earthy tone that brings a sense of calm and timeless beauty to every image. Whether it’s a cozy wrap, a delicate headband, or a backdrop, this muted green adds warmth without distracting from your baby’s delicate features.

It complements every skin tone and pairs perfectly with natural textures like wood and linen—both staples in my lifestyle newborn photography style. It’s a color that feels organic, soothing, and elegant all at once.

For families in Columbia, Lexington, and the greater Midlands area of South Carolina, sage has quietly become a client favorite too. It blends seamlessly with both neutral and nature-inspired palettes, helping to create that soft, classic look that defines so much of my work.

If you’re expecting and looking for a newborn photographer in the Midlands, I’d love to help you preserve these fleeting first days in a way that feels peaceful, genuine, and beautifully timeless—just like sage.
