Having an autumn baby? This is what your newborn session can look like
Welcoming a new baby in the crisp, golden days of autumn is truly magical. 🍂 As a newborn photographer in Leeds, I absolutely love designing sessions inspired by the warm colours, textures and cosy vibes of the season. If you’re due in September, October or November, here’s a peek at what your autumn-themed newborn session can look like - and why this time of year is perfect for celebrating your new arrival.
🍁 Why Choose an Autumn-Themed Newborn Session?
Autumn offers a unique palette that feels timeless and intimate. Think soft rust, mustard, forest green and earthy neutrals. These tones not only photograph beautifully but also complement the natural warmth of newborn skin tones. Your baby’s first portraits will feel instantly cosy and seasonal - a stunning keepsake for years to come.
🧡 Styling Your Session
During your newborn photoshoot, I use carefully selected props and wraps that evoke autumn without overwhelming your baby. Some of the details might include:
Soft knitted blankets in burnt orange, mustard yellow, cream and deep green
Wooden bowls and tiny beds
Tiny hats or headbands inspired by woodland and harvest themes
Gentle accents such as mini pumpkins, dried leaves or pinecones (always styled safely)
we could also do a fun,Halloween inspired newborn digital composite, if you’re a fan of the spooky vibes
The result is a set of images that are classic and seasonal — perfect for birth announcements or your first Christmas cards.
📸 Studio Comfort, Autumn Feel
Although your session takes place in my warm, comfortable Leeds newborn photography studio, the styling brings the outdoors in. Your baby stays cosy and safe, while we create the look and feel of a golden autumn day. Parents and siblings are welcome to be included in some images too, capturing the whole family in this special season.
🌟 When to Book
If you’re expecting a baby in the autumn months, it’s best to book your newborn session while you’re still pregnant — ideally around your 20-week scan. This secures your spot in my calendar and ensures we can plan the styling that suits you best. If you already had your plan, please get in touch to check last minute availability.
