Props to Bring to Your Newborn Session
When working with Easley Life Photography, Jordan Easley provides everything needed to create timeless newborn portraits. Some clients choose to bring items from home to help customize the session and reflect their families’ personality and style! Here are some thoughtful ideas to help customize your session:
1. Blankets and Swaddles
Hand-knit or handmade swaddles can add a personal touch.
2. Personalized Stuffed Animals
Bring along a favorite stuffed animal or a toy that holds significance to your family. These items can create a heartwarming connection in your photos.
3. Family Heirlooms
Incorporating heirloom items like a vintage quilt or family jewelry can add depth and meaning to your images.
4. Clothing and Accessories
A personalized name hat is a cute addition to your session. Jordan does not recommend bringing clothing to the session, typically these are too big and when the baby is curled up they don’t photograph well. Heirloom-like clothing or personalized onesies are best used for a later milestone session.
5. Frames or Signs
If you have a small sign that displays your baby’s name and birth date this can add a personal touch to your session.
6. Hobbies or interest
This can symbolize your hopes for your baby’s future interests. If your family loves music or art, include your child’s first musical instrument or art supplies. Hunting enthusiasts may wish to bring items like duck calls or antlers. If you or your spouse is a first responder you may wish to incorporate a work-related prop like a hat or badge.
7. Sports Gear
If you’re a sports-loving family, bring along items like jerseys, hats, or balls that represent your favorite teams.
8. Seasonal Props
If your session correlates with a specific season or holiday, incorporating themed items like pumpkins for autumn or ornaments for winter can create a festive feel.
Conclusion
Bringing personalized props to your newborn photography session not only enhances the visuals but also tells your unique family story. Choose items that resonate with you and celebrate this precious time in your lives!
