Newborn Photography Props!

Blog > Newborn Photography Props!

Welcome to the NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHERS SITE! As one of the first bloggers on this fabulously perfect new site... we have a fun & zany post ready for you, filled with gobs of information & goodies on our #1 favorite thing... PROPS! Photography props... they can be simple as a blanket, or unique as a handmade custom bed. The possibilities can be endless, and over the moon in creativity. One thing is for sure... newborn photography props are a MUST have to any professional photographer. Just starting out, or a seasoned pro... if you have clients, you have at least a handful of great newborn props in your stash. In my years of seeking and searching out the top photography prop shops in the industry, I find one thing over and over again... this industry is owned by newborn props. Older infants, and their toddler siblings are easy to dress in the cutesie store bought outfits... but newborns, well they are just to teeny tiny, NOTHING fits them properly. Plus, they are uber darling when nakey! Fresh & sweet, layering them in every day clothes seems silly.... and when you peek into the sought after world of newborn props, you can easily see why! The bountiful props for newborns range from organic & clean, to textured & full of color. Let's start by listing a few of our favorites, from the gorgeous recently found "layering sets", to all time favorite knit hats & headbands. When it comes to newborn props, the team at Prop Insanity knows a thing or two. Here is a quick list of our top five accessories for newborn photography props:
  1. Headbands... which lead into halo & tiebacks (newborn girl necessities!)
  2. Hats... from chunky textured knit beanies, to sewn up bonnets embellished with vintage lace.... every session should include at least one.
  3. Stretch wraps... indeed, this is a must have! Soothe a wiggly baby with these goodies... and stock up in every color, trust me they are worth it!
  4. Layering sets... LOVE LOVE LOVE these! They add texture to the simplest shot, plus they can be used on beanbags or in baskets.
  5. And my new personal favorite... pants! Knit or sewn, newborn pant sets are just the bees knees... perfectly sweet, and prized by photographers everywhere.

I mean, what other subject can you photograph in a bucket or in a sling, without them jumping out and running away! haha The Prop Insanity top five pics for these posing props are:<
  1. Beanbags... I have a love for puck shaped bags, and use my Newborn Nest in EVERY newborn session. For many, this is the MUST HAVE NECESSITY for all newborn sessions.
  2. Blankets... so they aren't a "furniture style props... personally, I cant have enough! Whether it is covering my bean bag, or rolled into a basket or bucket, they are a MUST.
  3. Stools & Beds. Ridiculously adorable, and really pull at the heart strings. Like little baby dolls!
  4. Baskets & buckets... MUST HAVE! Whether laying down, belly up... or tucked inside with a heads up pose. Baskets & buckets are a great prop, and easy to use for newborn sessions.
  5. Slings. Boy O' Boy, if you can master the sling (which isn't as hard as you would think! Check our Keri Meyers tutorials!), you have a prop, and a shot, that your clients are going to LOVE! Just remember, COMPOSITING IS A MUST with slings... safety first, of course!
