Newborn Background Colors

At Portraits by Araceli, we believe every newborn session should feel thoughtfully curated and beautifully unique—just like your little one. That’s why we offer a wide selection of background colors to suit your personal style and your home’s aesthetic. Choosing the right tones helps create timeless, cohesive images you’ll treasure forever.

How It Works

To help us plan the perfect session, please let us know your preferred background colors at least 2 days before your appointment. This ensures we have everything prepped and styled to perfection when you arrive.


What's Included

  • Two backdrop colors of your choice are included with every newborn session
  • Based on your backdrop selections, I’ll curate a set of wraps, outfits, and accessories that complement your chosen tones—you’ll get to pick the final outfits from these coordinated options.
  • If time allows, we’ll finish with sweet bonus setups—like a basket or bed scene for even more variety


Tips for Choosing Your Colors

When selecting your backgrounds, consider colors that will:

  • Match or complement the décor in your home (great for future prints!)
  • Coordinate with any outfits or sentimental items you plan to include
  • Reflect the mood or softness you envision (e.g. creamy neutrals for calm, pastel tones for sweetness, deeper colors for contrast)


Let’s Make Magic

From delicate wraps to dreamy tones, every detail is chosen with love to make your session unforgettable. Your little one’s first portraits should feel special—and your input helps make that possible.
