Newborn Photographers for St. Patrick’s Day Photo Shoot Ideas

People all over the world take the opportunity to celebrate Irish culture and traditions on March 17 every year. St. Patrick’s Day is a holiday filled with (green) color and pageantry that makes it an ideal setting for Austin newborn photographers to capture the beauty of the latest addition to your family.

Austin Newborn Photographers Go Green with St. Paddy’s Day Portraits

When St. Patrick’s Day was celebrated in the 7^th century, blue was the color associated with the festivities, as blue was the official color of the Order of St. Patrick. With Ireland's nickname of The Emerald Isle and the tradition of shamrocks bringing good luck, green eventually overtook the color most recognizable with the St. Patrick's Day holiday. 

Now, as the day approaches, green clothing and accessories get pulled out in anticipation of St. Patrick’s Day. Adults and kids alike enjoy dressing up in green to celebrate the day when everyone is Irish. But if your child or due date happens to fall on March 17, it is a perfect chance for family photographers Austin trust to incorporate the green of St. Paddy’s Day into your maternity or newborn portrait shoot.

Leprechaun Themed Maternity Photography in Austin

Leprechauns are mischievous little elves that sprung out of local Irish folklore and superstitions. They are typically shown as a tiny, wrinkled old man dressed from head to toe in green, and are said to be smart, devious figures who love to play practical jokes. The leprechaun is the perfect character to associate with a St. Patrick’s Day baby and maternity photography Austin parents use to keep the precious memories of their children and family.

St. Patrick’s Day Props Used by Austin Maternity Photographer

Props are an important element for both St. Patrick’s Day festivities and for an Austin maternity photographer or newborn photographer looking to capitalize on a St. Paddy's Day baby photoshoot.

Dressing the baby or expectant mother and family in green is an important feature, but it is just the beginning. Put an orange beard, a green top hat, and bow tie on your infant, and their face will do the rest. Add some shamrocks and lucky horseshoes, and rainbows to their attire and background to give you a St. Patrick's Day memory for your child and the whole family.

Leprechauns are supposed to be able to find the pot of gold at the end of rainbows. Take advantage of this imagery by placing your baby in the pot of gold with a rainbow leading to it. You can also have a rainbow lead to the Mommy’s pregnant tummy as you wait for your new little pot of gold.
