Studio Newborn Session-Seattle Newborn Photographer
I loved this snuggle session. There’s nothing like the awe and love of new parents. This studio has earthy colors with a city vibe. It’s in Pioneer Square, Seattle- and it’s one of two studios that I rent for shooting. There are two flights of stairs to get up to this spot.
This baby was just 10 days old, and around that time they start feeding a ton so they can be a little more hungry during the shoot, so I try to document them before 10 days, but I am not super picky on that. I also do newborn sessions in the comfort of your own home. You can probably find a nice textured earthy tone sweater in your closet, and find a earth toned blanket for the babe. Etsy has a ton. Also, if you can swaddle it’s a bonus but not needed, it keeps the baby calm and their hands out of their face. I do not handle newborns I leave it up to you:) I approach the sessions in a documentary style, meaning I do not post the baby, but I do guide you the entire time on what to do.
How to Prepare for a Studio Newborn Photoshoot:
A studio newborn photoshoot is all about softness, simplicity, and connection. Choosing the right colors helps keep the focus where it belongs — on your baby and the love surrounding them. That’s where earth tones come in. They especially look great in this studio. That being said, these two wore what they wanted, and that works too.
Earth tones create a calm, timeless feel. Shades like warm beige, soft browns, creamy whites, muted greens, and gentle clay tones photograph beautifully under studio light. They reflect warmth without distraction and allow your newborn’s natural features — tiny fingers, rosy cheeks, sleepy stretches — to truly shine. Add a blanket in these tones for the baby and we are winning.
When planning outfits, think comfort first. Simple, neutral clothing without bold patterns or logos keeps the images feeling peaceful and cohesive. Soft fabrics and layers add texture without overwhelming the frame. Parents and siblings don’t need to match exactly — staying within a similar earth-toned palette creates harmony while still letting everyone feel like themselves.
Earth tones also age gracefully. Years from now, your images will still feel natural and classic, not tied to a trend. They hold space for emotion, connection, and those fleeting early days that pass far too quickly.
Most importantly, arrive ready to slow down. Newborn sessions are gentle and unhurried. Trust the process, cuddle your baby, and let the softness of the space — and the colors you’ve chosen — support a calm, beautiful experience.
This family also did a maternity y shoot! I love documenting these beautiful stories from the beginning.
Maternity and Newborn sessions are $1100 each, I take a 200 deposit to hold your date, and the rest is due the day we shoot. You get 15-20 sneak peeks the day after our session, and my turn around time varies but is usually 4-6 weeks. When I am finished you get a gallery that has options to print professionally. There are books, framed prints, glass box full of prints, all kinds of cool things to order right from your gallery. You can design an order a book, or I can design one for you.
