Purple Perfection: A Sweet Session with Brinlee

Oh, Brinlee! From the moment this sweet little one’s session began, it was clear that purple was going to be the star of the show. And honestly, I can’t imagine a more fitting color to highlight such a special moment for this family.

Purple, Purple, and More Purple

If there’s one thing I learned during Brinlee’s session, it’s that her family has a true love affair with the color purple. From the softest lavender hues to rich, royal purples, this color has been woven into the most important milestones in their lives.

Purple isn’t a shade I get to use often in my sessions, which made this one all the more exciting for me as a photographer. It’s such a versatile color—soft and sweet for newborns, yet regal and bold for life’s big celebrations. Knowing that this family incorporates purple into all of their significant events made it even more meaningful to design this session around it.

A Family Tradition

One of the things that makes this session so memorable is the family’s tradition of including purple in their big moments. It started with their wedding, where purple was prominently featured, adding elegance and personality to their special day. When their first daughter was born, purple made another appearance in her newborn images, tying her early memories into their family story.

Now, with Brinlee’s arrival, purple continues to hold a special place in their hearts. It’s a beautiful way to create a sense of continuity and connection across their most treasured memories.

As I worked with Brinlee, draping her in soft purple blankets and placing her among delicate floral accents, I couldn’t help but think about how this color seems to perfectly represent their family. Purple has long been associated with qualities like creativity, wisdom, and devotion—all of which feel so fitting for this loving family.

A Color That Suits Her

Brinlee looked absolutely stunning in purple. From the soft lilac wraps to the tiny floral headbands, every detail was chosen with care to complement her delicate features. The color seemed to enhance her natural beauty, creating images that are both timeless and unique to her story.

One of my favorite moments from the session was seeing how excited Brinlee’s mom was to carry on their purple tradition. It’s so special to see parents create intentional ways to celebrate their family’s milestones, and I love being part of capturing those traditions.

The Power of Color in Photography

As a photographer, I’ve always been fascinated by how colors can shape the mood and tone of an image. Purple is especially captivating because it strikes such a beautiful balance between softness and richness. It’s rare that I get to work with purple in my sessions, which made this experience even more enjoyable.

Whether it’s a warm yellow that evokes happiness or a soothing blue that conveys calm, each color adds its own layer of meaning to a photograph. For the Palmatier family, purple isn’t just a pretty color—it’s a symbol of their love, unity, and the memories they’ve built together.

A Session to Remember

Brinlee’s session will always stand out to me as a beautiful reminder of how much thought and care families put into creating traditions that reflect who they are. It’s an honor to capture these moments and play a small role in preserving their story.

To Brinlee’s family: thank you for trusting me to document this special time in your lives. Your love for one another shines through in every image, and your dedication to celebrating life’s big moments with such intentionality is truly inspiring.

For anyone considering a newborn session, remember that it’s the personal touches—like Brinlee’s family tradition of incorporating purple—that make your photos uniquely yours. Whether it’s a favorite color, a sentimental prop, or a beloved family heirloom, these details add depth and meaning to your images.
