Newborn Maternity Photographer Raleigh Cary - Best prop for the newborn photo session

New parents are anxious to show off their newborn baby;  display the happiness they share about their new gain with friends and family. The most prevalent way of sharing this special time is through newborn photography. While candid photos are always an option for sharing through social media sites there’s a special touch when done by a professional; one that creates a product with far more value and an at times even stronger emotion. 

Of course, there’s a certain standard that comes with such professional newborn photography. The price you pay includes more advanced equipment (most professional cameras cost about $5K), up to date technology (processing software can be another $1K+), as well as pricey props and backgrounds. In a field such as this, any photographer knows that without that certain prop for an infant, you may never get the especially unique photo that you and the parents are looking for. Most every client asks "what kind of props can we use". Props give an atmosphere to the photo and can help to convey the emotion that you as a new or upcoming mother are feeling especially when the prop is YOU.

A Prop You Can’t Buy
Though it seems uncanny, the best prop that any photographer could ever hope for in their newborn photography is the parent. 
A baby feels most content when in the arms of their mother or father, so it makes sense that with a parent in the picture, the baby would display its most content and relaxed face. Say you’d rather not be included in the photo, something and simple as your hands holding the baby produces a loving and gentle atmosphere and exemplifies the affection within the relationship that you have inherently established with your child.
