Many years ago, I remember thinking that white, cream, and beige were "boring." I lived in an apartment with all white walls, and I couldn't wait to get out of there so that I could paint all of my rooms different colors.

Flash forward, and nowadays there is nothing I love more than neutrals. Give me all of the whites, creams, and grays, and my heart is happy. Especially with our newborn sessions -- these babies are so fresh & pure, and these soft neutral colors are the perfect complement to truly showcase how beautiful these new little ones are on their own. There is nothing to distract from their perfection!

Kona visited me at our Attleboro studio with her big sister Kailani. Her mom requested all neutrals, because just like me, her heart goes all pitter-patter when she sees those whites & creams together. Kona's skin was so creamy and beautiful, and her dark hair perfectly framed her face, making her pop against our simple backdrops.

This sleepy little girl wanted to see what was going on, and while she resisted sleep for awhile, she eventually gave in and closed those beautiful sparkling eyes of hers. Not before we got some great wide-eyed shots first, though!

It's always unpredictable with toddlers and newborns, and Kailani took awhile to warm up to the idea of being in a portrait with her baby sister. Later in the session, she decided now would be the perfect time and she walked on over and kissed Kona right on her forehead without prompting. She's already becoming such a good big sister!
