Newborn Photography is not just a cute affair but the fun and creativity involved in the photo sessions make it one of the most amazing jobs. Props play a crucial role in every newborn photography session but choosing the appropriate one is also necessary. Few props that are favorites of every professional newborn photographer as well as the parents of the child are as follows:

• Soft Faux Furs:

o Faux furs in basket and crates create an extremely comfortable space for babies to sleep on. The soft furs can also be used on floors creating beautiful shots with the baby lying on it.

•    Cute Hats and Headbands:

Before choosing a prop few things must be taken into consideration for the safety of the baby.

• Make sure there are no sharp or rough edges or anything that might hurt the newborn.

• Never place a newborn on a stuff made of glass.

•Ensure that the props do not sit too high off the ground.

•While buying baskets ensure that the basket base is strong enough and weighs more than that of the baby so that they don’t tip over.

•As the newborn’s skin is extremely sensitive, make sure the prop has soft and comfortable linings so that their skin never gets in direct contact with the prop.
