Oh how I love the newborn babies. I love photographing them and I love using a prop with them now and then. I wanted to share a few more fun ideas of newborn photo props for you.

more newborn photography props

I thought it would be fun to share some more newborn photography props that I’ve enjoyed using. Newborns are so fun. Especially when they’re new enough and little enough to mold them and play around with them. If the props are kind of random and out there than it’s my preference that there be some kind of connection. Let me show you what I mean… This shot below was done for a family that does melon farming. Awesome right?! See, it makes sense because they are melon farmers.

Oh the joys of photographing newborn babies. Do you have an newborn baby? Or are you expecting one? Make sure you capture those precious moments!! They change in a matter of weeks, literally. I usually photograph my newborn babies within their first ten days of life (as much as possible). Are you interested in newborn photography? Or trying to become better at it? I have an e-book, The Fundamentals of Newborn Photography and a Newborn Posing Guide that may be helpful to you. Check them out! They’re on a major sale for only today and tomorrow!
