What color would you like for your Portland Newborn Baby Photography?

When you think of having your baby’s newborn photo, how would you tell your photographer what color you would like and ask to coordinate the color for your session? Or do you even have any colors in mind? Some of my clients have preferences when they book with us, and some will just tell me a color they like. It can be hard to decide the color by yourself, so I just wanted to give you some tips in this blog post.

Why do you want to tell the photographer your colors?

If you would like to leave it to me, I can coordinate that. No Problem! The reason why I think it is good idea to tell me is that when you would like to put those photographs on your wall or have an album, you may appreciate the sequence of colors. Colors will compliment the pictures also.

I like simple color choices, but I love using a color palette to coordinate the sets. Unless I will be asked to go with “COLORFUL”, I will go with neutral and nature colors with a hint of color. Those really fits well with Portland newborn baby photography.

For this session, the mom wanted to go with light/dusty purple. By the way, we always have a consultation before booking, and at that time I usually ask about color choices. If you don’t have any ideas at the time, we can make the decision after your baby is born. For this session, she just told me the one color, simple to enhance the beauty of her baby and a rustic mood, so I coordinated with the colors above!

How to make a decision on your color for Portland newborn baby photography?

Match with your wedding color

If you had your wedding ceremony, you can start brainstorming from your wedding colors. Sometimes colors have a very particular gender image (like passion pink etc), so it may not work out for some couples.

DID you already, or are you planning to paint your baby's room?

If you already painted or planning to paint your baby’s room, the color can be in the color palette for your newborn baby picture. Also, we can complement colors to enhance the room color well.

Take a look at your home interiors

Home interiors and colors show what you like. I personally like light greens, light beige, rustic wood colors, so those colors are everywhere in our living room. By adding it, you may have a more comfortable feeling to the pictures. If you are thinking to have wall art pieces, it is always nice to know where you would like to have it too, so that is something you can think about along with the color!

In this blog post, I just shared some ideas of why and how you would like to choose your colors for your Portland newborn baby photography. When I photograph, I would like my clients to LOVE their photo and colors is an important element to make my clients fall in love with their pictures.

While you are waiting for your little one, I hope you will have a fun time thinking what color will suit your family and your baby!

After Baby Meal Ideas for Kimi Photography Newborn Clients

misohime — Thu, 23 Jan 2020 06:37:08 +0000

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I was pretty surprised and amazed by meal trains after birth when I started living in the US. I think it is such a warm way to welcome the newborn and helping moms. Sadly, there is no such a custom in Japan, where I grew up, anymore. My friends, whom are also an international couple, just had their newborn baby and we are enrolled in their meal train. That experience made me think to write after baby meal ideas for Kimi Photography Newborn Clients. My clients are not only from the Portland area, but also from other countries or living in Portland temporarily. Which also means being away from their friends and the baby’s grandparents who might be able to help them if they lived closer. I think knowing what mom might need for after giving birth might help recover their body and be even more enjoyable to be with the new addition of the family![/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”4180″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]When I photograph portraits, some moms care about their weight. No worries! You put your life on delivering a new life into the world. No body expects you to be the same weight as before pregnancy. From a photographer’s view, moms get better skin and just the joy they get by holding their babies shine so much. If we can reduce your worries, stress, and the amount of sleepless nights through recovering your body and nourishment, let’s do it![/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”4178″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”]

How much and when to eat ?

[vc_column_text]According to Web MD, new moms need to have 1,800 and 2,200 calories everyday. If they are nursing, they need up to 500 calories more. I also learned it is a good idea to spread your meals throughout the day, so your power lasts for the whole day.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”4182″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”]

What kind of Nutrients are needed?

[vc_column_text]Proteins: beans, lean meats, eggs, and soys are good to have for recovery.

Calcium: It is good to have 1,000 milligrams (take it from low-fat products) daily.

Also, Iron is necessary to let your body create new blood cells. Red meat and liver has more iron.

If you had twins, have a health condition, or are vegetarian, ask your doctor about your nutrition. Every pregnancy and delivery is different!

Here are some recipes to have those nutrients. https://www.mothermag.com/meals-for-new-moms/[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”4179″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”]

Snack ideas?

[vc_column_text]Baby’s siblings can help mom with making some snacks! They can be a big helper![/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

hummus plate

whole grain (oats) cereal with low-fat milk

[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”4183″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]It is needless to say dads are an available hero to support the family member! Not only for taking care of their children, but also in helping recover moms’ body and get through this emotional time. Having a baby is a life changing event in life and I hope some of this information can help my clients who come to Kimi Photography for maternity and newborn photography.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”4181″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
