When should I book a newborn photographer?

The best time to book your newborn photographer is during your second or third trimester to secure your spot.

Studio 623 Photography works with your schedule to make timing seamless.

We provide all props, wraps, and backdrops. Your comfort is our priority—just sit back while we create beautiful, timeless images of your newborn.

How do I prepare for a newborn photoshoot?

Feed your baby about 30 minutes before arriving to keep them content and sleepy. Dress in simple, neutral outfits—we have wraps and hats if needed. Pack diapers, a pacifier, and any sentimental items you'd like included. Studio 623 Photography handles the rest, ensuring a joyful, hassle-free session.

Black Sage — Vendor Coordination Guide

Black Sage

Smoke & Turquoise

A Western Gothic Greenhouse Editorial

Tuesday, March 31, 2026 3:00 PM – Evening Mt Hood Center Greenhouse

Creative Vision

Dark, moody, and romantic with deep western roots — a styled editorial that blends gothic drama with earthy southwestern soul. Think black tablescapes lit by candlelight, a matte black cake cascading with wild florals, turquoise and gold accents, and a greenhouse bathed in the fading glow of golden hour. This is not your typical country wedding — it’s raw, elegant, and unapologetically bold.

Style Keywords

Western Gothic Moody Romance Dark Bohemian Earthy & Natural Black & Gold Turquoise Accents Greenhouse Candlelit

Color Palette

Black, charcoal, warm taupe, cream, antique gold, sage green, deep olive, and pops of turquoise. Florals may introduce moody burgundy, burnt orange, and dusty mauve.

Mood & Textures

Geometric metal lanterns, taper candles (black and ivory), succulents, pampas grass, natural wood, cow skull elements, turquoise and silver jewelry, bolo ties, and raw organic greenery. The greenhouse itself provides beautiful natural light and an architectural backdrop of glass and iron.
