Purple has quickly become one of my favourite colours to use for newborn photo sessions. There’s just something so timeless and elegant about it — it feels calm, gentle, and full of sweetness. Whether it’s soft lavender or deeper plum tones, purple brings a beautiful touch of magic to every setup.
When styling a session, I love using baskets and carefully chosen props to create a cozy, beautiful scene for my little clients. I often add delicate flowers, soft wraps, and textured fabrics to bring everything together. The result is a setup that feels warm, dreamy, and full of love — perfect for capturing those first precious days of life.
Parents always adore the purple setups. The colour photographs beautifully and suits both baby girls and boys, depending on the shades I choose. For baby girls, I often use lighter purples with floral accents for a soft and romantic feel. For boys, I might bring in more neutral tones to balance the purple for a more classic look.
What I love most is how versatile this colour can be — it can be bold, subtle, modern, or vintage, depending on how it’s styled. Each session feels unique, yet every photo shares the same peaceful and heartfelt vibe that I strive for in my newborn photography.
As a newborn photographer, creating these purple-themed setups reminds me why I love what I do. Every tiny detail — from the curve of the basket to the gentle placement of flowers — is thoughtfully chosen to make sure each image feels like a piece of art.
Parents love them, and so do I!
If you’re thinking of booking a newborn photo session and love the look of soft, beautiful purples, I’d be so excited to create a custom setup just for your baby.
