Props
Ruffles & bonnets, blankets, or buckets
Elevate your newborn photography with carefully chosen props. Whether it's adorable bonnets, cozy blankets, or playful banners, these additions bring out your baby's unique personality in imaginative shots.
Opt for natural, neutral tones to maintain versatility and avoid overshadowing your baby's features. Remember, props should complement, not dominate, the overall image.
Experiment with colors and accessories to infuse creativity into your newborn portraits, transforming them into captivating visual stories.

WHAT TO WEAR

For a laid-back feel, consider loose-fitting, oversized tops paired with comfortable breezy bottoms. Earthy tones and desaturated hues work well in this coastal setting, enhancing the warmth and vibrancy of your photos. Soft pastels and muted colors can also complement the relaxed atmosphere.
Steer clear of heavy fabrics, dark colors, and intricate patterns. Prioritize comfort, and simplicity.
