I absolutely adore at-home newborn lifestyle sessions. There’s something so special about walking into a home that’s been carefully prepared with love and care for a little one. This vintage-inspired baby boy nursery in Holladay, Utah was such a sweet space to photograph. Every detail in a nursery tells a story, and when it’s a vintage-inspired baby boy nursery, the charm and nostalgia are just irresistible.

This nursery was for a sweet baby boy, their very first little one, and it was filled with soft, timeless details and classic touches that made it feel both cozy and elegant. From vintage-style furniture to gentle neutral tones and delicate accents, every corner was thoughtfully designed to create a warm and inviting space. I love capturing these rooms because they reflect the parents’ creativity, care, and the joy of welcoming a new baby into their home.

So what makes a nursery feel truly vintage? It’s all in the details, and the beauty of a vintage-inspired space is that it feels timeless, warm, and full of personality. If you’re looking for inspiration to create your own nursery with that nostalgic charm, here are a few ideas that can help guide your design:

1. Classic Brass Cribs: A brass crib instantly adds a touch of timeless elegance to a nursery. Its soft metallic shine feels sophisticated yet cozy, making it the perfect centerpiece for a vintage baby boy room.

2. Charming Vintage Accents: Small details make a big impact. Think brass frames, antique toys, or even a pair of vintage baby shoes displayed on a shelf. These touches bring personality and a sense of history to the space.

3. Nautical or Cottage-Inspired Decor: For a baby boy, subtle themes like sailing boats, soft stripes, or cottage-style accents can create a sweet, playful vibe without feeling overly themed. Paired with natural textures like rattan, wicker, or soft linens, these elements make the nursery feel both unique and welcoming.

4. Vintage nurseries are all about those little charming details. In this room, the parents added a rattan snail shelf with delicate touches, and it’s these personal elements that make the nursery feel so special, cozy, and truly loved.

Every nursery tells a story, and capturing these beautiful, thoughtful spaces during an at home lifestyle photography session is one of my favorite parts of my work. I love including these images as part of the session so families can always look back and remember the joy and care that went into creating the nursery. These photos bring back the memories of decorating and designing the space, especially since nurseries change so much over time. In just a few months, baby might be climbing out of the crib, switching to a bigger bed, or the room may take on a completely new look. Having these photos lets parents remember and share with their little one—who won’t be so little forever—how special this space once was. Capturing the nursery as part of a lifestyle session makes the experience even more meaningful, preserving both the baby and the home they’re welcomed into.
