Erin Young Portrait Design specializes in Newborn Photos in
Rochester Mn. Most parents love coming
in with their baby and just have me do my thing. But some love to incorporate sentimental
props.
Need some inspiration when picking out props for your
newborn photo session? Want to make it unique and personal? Check out these
great ideas for adding sentiment to your newborn photos. Newborn Photography Rochester mn
1. Recreate a Parent or Sibling Photo
These types of newborn photos show the same pose with
different generations of your family. Show me a photo of you or your spouse
when you were a newborn and let me create a similar photo with your child. If
you have another child and want us to use one of their newborn photos to
recreate instead, that would work, too!
2. Blankets
Bringing blankets with sentimental value helps add interest
and a story to the photo. For example, if it was quilted or crocheted by nana
then you’re helping add that sentimental touch and making nana proud. Or maybe
it was a blanket that you or your significant other used as a baby. Blankets
also provide a wide variety of textures and colors, which adds both depth and
visual appeal to your photograph.
3. Something from Parents’ Childhood
We can also incorporate things from your childhood. For
example: stuffed animals, clothes, your bassinet, dolls, a wagon, basket,
blanket, etc. Try to find something that can be passed down to your child that
meant something to you when you were younger.
4. Occupations/Hobbies
If you or your spouse love your job and want to add
something from it or one of your hobbies, this will help add a personal touch.
Some examples: dog tags, sports helmets, a baseball, guitar, football,
briefcase, camera, jersey, or hat. Of course, we’re open to your ideas, as
well. This is just to get the ideas flowing
5. Maternity photos
If you did a maternity session, you can do some similar
poses with your baby and frame them side-by-side in your home or in an album.
If you used an outfit or name blocks, ultrasound picture, etc., we can use
those props again in these photos, too. Baby pictures near me
6. Wedding Rings
This is a classic shot. Having your child hold your wedding
rings in their little hands or placing them between their toes is a good way to
incorporate your rings – which signify familial love and a strong bond — into
the shot. Although this photo is somewhat common, it will be unique to you
because they are your personal rings and they show the commitment and love that
you and your spouse have for your family.
