Boy Baby Photos | Newborn Session with Family

There’s something extra special about capturing boy baby photos that includes the whole family. This recent session was filled with love, warmth, and beautiful details that made it truly unforgettable. From soft, cozy wraps to dreamy backdrops, every element came together to highlight this little boy’s first professional portraits.

A Family’s First Portrait with Their Newborn Son

One of the sweetest moments of this session was photographing the proud parents with their new baby boy. For these family portraits, we used a gorgeous blue backdrop from Baby Dream Backdrops, which provided the perfect soft and timeless setting. The deep blues complemented the family’s wardrobe beautifully, creating a stunning contrast against the baby’s delicate features.

Cozy and Classic: Blue-Themed Newborn Portraits

For baby’s solo portraits, we wrapped him snugly in a textured blue wrap from Red Owl Photo Props. This soft and stretchy fabric kept him comfortable while allowing us to create those dreamy, curled-up poses that parents adore. To add more depth and texture to the images, we used a beautiful blue flokati (fur) from Luneberry LLC, which enhanced the richness of the setup.

The flokati’s luxurious texture added a touch of elegance, making these boy baby photos extra special. The varying shades of blue complemented his soft newborn skin, giving the images a classic yet modern feel.

A Touch of Nature with a Green Newborn Setup

One of the unique setups for this session included a soft green theme, which brought an earthy, calming feel to the images. We used a sleepy hat, wrap, and matching fabric from Sweet Baby Photo Props to create a cozy, organic look. This setup was a perfect balance of warmth and simplicity, allowing the focus to remain on the baby’s delicate features and peaceful expressions.

The subtle tones of green created a timeless, natural aesthetic that parents loved. It’s always fun to incorporate different color schemes into newborn sessions, and this one turned out to be a perfect complement to the other setups.

A Bold and Beautiful Red Newborn Setup

To add a striking, warm-toned option to the session, we incorporated a deep red setup that truly made these boy baby photos stand out. The rich reds gave the images a warm, classic look, highlighting the baby’s delicate features against the vibrant backdrop.

One of the most unforgettable moments of this session was when this little future football star was dressed in an Alabama Crimson Tide onesie brought from home. To top it off, he was posed holding a tiny football, looking every bit like the next running back to save Alabama from defeat! With his strong newborn features and adorable curled-up pose, he already looked game-day ready.
