Aquamarine is the perfect accent color for spring. Featuring rich colors and symbolizing youth, health and hope this stone makes for a beautiful inspiration color palette!

Using Sea Green, Turquoise, Teal, and Aqua in a Newborn Boy Session

It is no secret that I am a lover of all things blue, green and vibrant! This in mind, for the month of March I am very excited to present newborn sessions featuring aquamarine, which is the birthstone for this month. The rich color is a symbol of youth, health, and hope which pairs perfectly with bringing home a new baby. Reflecting spring and new life, this stunning accent color is an amazing option for a newborn session.

The birthstone has a fantastic sea-green hue which also looks fantastic with gold and silver materials. For example, the newborn boy I am showcasing today has a nursery with all things teal, turquoise, sea foam, and also copper and gun metals, too! Your newborn session is absolutely a great way to reflect the colors you like to have in your home.

Moreover, aquamarine is known for its calming and soothing aura, so this is a great accompaniment to a newborn session in which we like to replicate a quiet environment when working with a baby.

Sneak preview of Sloane's Spring Inspired Sitter Milestone Session by Sarah Borchgrevink Photography.

Howdy, friends! Welcome to my blog! As I write this post, I cannot help but be super excited to showcase a sweet baby girl named Sloane! I first met her at her posed newborn session in August. It's been about 6 months and now she's a precious infant who is sitting up, clapping her hands, rolling over, and hitting all of those adorable baby milestones parents love to see!

Fun fact: Sloane's mama told me that her name means "female Irish warrior" which I truly believe is fitting for a modern gal! I really love when parents share details about the names of little ones and why they chose the name.

Another fun part of Sloane's newborn session was the color scheme; we used many hues from rust, green, purple, and many antique, vintage buckets such as an aged metal pail you'll find in my studio. Color can make a session truly unique and special; while neutrals are the current trend, the color is what makes babies have that creamy, gorgeous skin in the images.

Before we get started, here are a few images to swoon over that took place during the newborn portion of my time with baby girl.

Preview of Newborn Milestone for Baby Girl Sloane

So much sweet bean bag posing here! As a professional photographer, I do specialize in posed newborn photography and enjoy working with the smallest of clients. This rust-red color is absolutely amazing against her skin and really makes the gallery special.

As a newborn, she was a complete squish with gorgeous features and a precious head full of golden locks. Her parents were a dream to have in studio + big brother was the best!

Inspiration for Sloane's Sitter Session: Spring and Green

When newborn returns for their sitter session (and eventually their 12-month session!) each session is designed with the newborn photos in mind. For example, I use the floor props from their newborn session to show how much baby has grown. In this case, the rustic and antique bucket is the perfect vehicle to showcase little Sloane and all her cuteness.

The night before Sloane was scheduled to come in, I created a set up for her based on beautiful Spring green and hues; I also ordered a new succulent headband for her to match the floral tone. This is the same bucket from her newborn session and I'll definitely use it again for the 12-month cake smash!

Booking a session at Sarah Borchgrevink Photography means you'll have full access to a large array of amazing props, all of which are classic, vintage, and result in timeless baby photography.
