Today I am going to show you some accessories for baby portrait (also called "props") so that you can take note and take ideas. How many times have you seen an impressive baby photography and have thought that you could not do it ... It is true that photographing a newborn or a baby is not easy, it requires kilos (if not tons) of patience, a lot of desire, a little of creativity, follow tips like these , avoid certain mistakes and have some of these accessories that facilitate the task, or rather, that make your photos more spectacular. Of course, this is like the photography team, who is the one who takes the pictures, and not the team, huh?
CROCHET HAMMOCK
The fabric or crochet hammock is a very original resource and offers very interesting results when working with newborns. Here you have them for less than 10 euros .PUFF
The puff is one of the accessories for portrait of babies most used in photography studios because by varying the blankets you put on you completely change the photo. With the puff you can accommodate the baby in different positions and also the creature will be comfortable seaBASKETS
There is no newborn session worth its salt without a basket or at least it is fashionable. Baskets are of many forms and types, you may have one at home, or more than one. If not, you can take a walk here or on the trail of your city. When using tall baskets or buckets, you can put a weight inside so they don't tip over. As I told you before, baby safety is the most important thing.CUBES
The one of the cubes is something similar to the baskets. But look for vintage, zinc buckets ... Don't use the plastic scrubber bucket! The cubes, like the taller baskets, have another utility besides the decorative one, they also serve so that the older babies do not move too much or do not crawl as if they were in an Olympic race.CAPS
In summer, of course, it's hot just to think about it, but in winter ... a good hat will make your baby photograph a delight. Of course it is not worth any hat, choose a really nice one that does not reduce the prominence of your baby. Here is an example, but a search, for example on Amazon or Etsy, will give you many results.HEADBANDS
You won't tell me that a pretty headband doesn't change the picture ... Here is a very graphic example. In Etsy you have for all tastes and colors and many prices.FUNDS AND FLOORS
I thought that people had beautiful houses, with wonderful walls and always with wooden floors. This gave me tremendous envy, until thanks to a blog I discovered that this was not always the case, that many times they were decorated, a wooden carpet or a piece of flooring, a spectacular background fabric and a wooden strip as a skirting board ... and voila! You already have a perfect set. There are also funds that you can put both wall and floor. This data will mark a before and after in your photographs, what if? Look for example this one .BLANKETS
If it is a photo for you, then maybe you can spend using one from home. Now that if you want to go one step further and sell your work, do not go to take your blanket from the sofa full of balls and roll the baby, because either you are a machine with the photo editor or the image will lose a lot. Not to mention that the baby can get the itches of death. Go, do not be a rat and to wrap the newborn, look for some blankets in conditions, of the truly loving ones . In Amazon you have a great variety.WRAPS
In addition to the blankets, there are some "wrappers" of wool or yarn where to put the baby. They are also called "peanuts," I imagine it is because they stay as if they were a peanut. I better put a picture that is explained in this way, but surely you have seen it more than once, what if? To buy you can pull Amazon or Etsy, for example.WINGS
And as these babies are little angels, nothing more appropriate than a pair of wings. You also have available on Amazon.SUITCASES
Suitcases can give a lot of play and you may not even have to buy them. Check out your family's storage rooms and attics. You have the same thing at home as decoration And if not, in addition to stores specializing in props for baby photography, you can pull decoration stores, second hand or traces.SWINGS
I love this kind of photos. For them you can use scarves that you have for them, here the most complicated and important thing is the knot and be very careful with the baby, always remember that your safety and well-being are above any photograph. It's about having a good memory, not trauma or trauma from falling into the photo shoot.TO ATTRACT YOUR ATTENTION
And to make it easier for you to work with a baby ... (drum roll) tachán! A doll that attaches to the camera! If you don't like this you have more models here . With newborns it won't work, but with older babies almost certainlyWHITE NOISE
With the newborns it is not about attracting their attention, but that they fall asleep for as long as possible, for this the so-called “white noise” is used, which is nothing more than a constant noise such as that of the dryer, vacuum cleaner or kitchen extractor. This also softens the noise you can make around it. There are some very nice as the sound of the sea or the beating of the heart that will also give you peace of mind. Available in free applications like this one.LIGHT WINDOW
It is not always possible to have natural light and the flash is not recommended for newborns and babies, mainly because it bothers them. That is why a window of light similar to this can come in handy . Although there are many types and sizes, find the one that best suits you. You also have the option of this lighting kit .ONLINE STORES TO BUY BABY PORTRAIT ACCESSORIES
