At Little Legacies Studio in Phoenix, we know just how precious those first few weeks are with your newborn. Capturing this fleeting moment is what we do best, and with 2025 on the horizon, we’re excited to share fresh, heartfelt ideas to make your newborn session one-of-a-kind. Whether you’re looking for soft, natural tones or playful setups, the possibilities are endless when it comes to preserving your little one’s earliest memories in a way that reflects your style and their sweet personality.
One of the most timeless trends for 2025 continues to be clean, neutral-toned setups. Think whites, creams, soft grays, and beige textures that highlight your baby’s delicate features. These natural backdrops and wraps never go out of style and allow for soft lighting and cozy textures to take center stage. With a minimalist approach, the focus stays exactly where it should—on your newborn’s expressions, hands, toes, and snuggly charm.
For parents wanting something stylish and grounded, boho themes are a beautiful choice. We love incorporating natural elements like dried florals, macrame props, and warm rust or sage tones. Soft layers, rattan baskets, and hand-knitted swaddles create a grounded, soulful look that feels both modern and organic. In Phoenix, this earthy aesthetic also blends perfectly with our desert surroundings, adding a special local touch.
In 2025, more families are choosing seasonal inspiration for their sessions. A spring baby might be photographed with soft pastels and florals, while a winter newborn can be cozied up in knit textures with snowy or holiday-inspired accents. Incorporating the season into your session gives the photos a meaningful anchor in time and adds variety and depth to your gallery.
Including parents and siblings is always encouraged, and it’s one of the most cherished parts of any session. For 2025, we’re seeing more families lean into natural, lifestyle-inspired family photos that show genuine connection. Skin-to-skin cuddles, soft lighting, and intentional posing result in emotive portraits that capture the bond between you and your newborn. These moments often end up being favorites.
A growing trend we love is the inclusion of personal touches—maybe it’s a vintage blanket from grandma, a monogrammed onesie, or a themed setup based on the nursery. These unique additions not only make your photos one-of-a-kind, but they help preserve your family’s story in a tangible, visual way. We always encourage parents to bring a few special items to incorporate.
For families who want a bold and cheerful look, bright accent colors are a fun way to add personality. We’re seeing more requests for jewel tones like emerald, mustard, and burgundy, as well as playful setups with coordinated colors that reflect your family’s favorite hues. These setups bring energy and vibrancy to the gallery while still being beautifully composed.
Sometimes less really is more. Black and white portraits add emotion, drama, and timeless beauty to your session. They’re especially powerful for parent and baby shots or close-ups of your newborn’s features. In 2025, more families are requesting full black and white galleries or at least a select set of images in this timeless format.
Of course, no matter the style you choose, your baby’s safety and comfort is always our top priority. We plan every session with your newborn’s needs in mind, using baby-led posing and frequent breaks for feeding and cuddles. Our Phoenix studio is kept warm and soothing to ensure your little one feels secure throughout the shoot.
