Number 1 - Your baby is the focus


When selecting a color, remember that your baby is the main focus of the photoshoot. Avoid colors that are too bright and will take away the focus. Also, think about your home colors and where you will want to hang and enjoy these images. Perhaps in the nursery or the main areas of your home. Soft pastels or even a little bolder color can work beautifully.
