10 Newborn Photo Props that Take it to the Next Level of Adorable

Choosing fabric and a cute baby hat is only the first step in creating a one of a kind newborn photo shoot. You’ll also need to know how to place those props.

Here are a few of our suggestions.

1. Use the props mentioned above and add a touch of personalized flare to set your photos apart from the standard baby shot.
2. Make sure you incorporate some element of texture into your photos.  Scratchy looking textures such as tweed and wool will highlight your newborn’s baby-soft skin.
3. Everyone loves a naked baby shot, but if you’re going to do it, crank up the heat to avoid a cranky baby.

We love props, but we also should remind you not to go overboard. Your photo shoot shouldn’t be so cluttered with props that you lose out on the main attraction, your sweet sweet newborn
