Top Houston Baby Photographer, Sarah Borchgrevink, shares the best 5 Awesome Props for Your Studio and where to find them on Amazon Prime!

Newborn props, accessories, and ideas to start your portraiture studio

Howdy! Greetings to you! Thanks for stopping by to read about the 5 must have props for any newborn photography studio. When working with sweet little ones, many parents often ask, "Where do you find your props? How did you get started on this vast collection?" I always tell them I began just where everyone else does: at the beginning. It's taken about 5 years for me to curate the huge array of items you see in my studio.

However, today you're in for a treat because I am sharing 5 awesome props that are versatile, affordable, and can be found on Amazon Prime, yay! Who does not love two day shipping?

# 1 | Newborn Layer & Wraps

Newborn wraps are the number one prop you need! However, a wrap can be made from essentially anything that's a great textile. The wrap above can be found here and I have them in each color available. As seen above, you can use the linked item to wrap baby, use as a layer, or just add variety and texture.

If you like those for wraps, however, you may also love this one, this chunky knit, or this gorgeous option, too!

# 2 | Rustic and Enamel Metal Bucket or Pail

Every newborn photography studio needs an awesome bucket. I have a selection of wooden, metal or even wire, however, this enamel bucket was one of the first I ever purchased so it has a soft spot in my heart, lol! It fits essentially any baby, is durable, and you can also paint it yourself or add any type of embellishment. It's a blank canvas so the perfect item to start your newborn prop collection.

Here are a few additional options you may swoon over, too!

# 3 | Flokati Rug (Grey, Cream or White)

Flokati rugs are a huge favorite of mine because they add texture to your session. Plus they're so soft and perfect, just like a new baby. Check out my favorites below!

The perfect grey flokati rug is a natural grey color, which is adorable for both boys or girls. However, a cream or white option is awesome, too!

If you like a little more color in your life, though, here is a vegan and cruelty free option that's a soft baby pink you may love or a darling baby boy blue, too!

# 4 | Teddy Bear Hat & Matching Stuffed Animal Bear

These adorable animal hats are such a hit with parents! They're requested often and really are adorable as they lend a sweet and timeless feel to the images. If you like the soft knitted or crocheted look to your photos, you may love these bunny hats and stuffed animals, or cute newborn outfits for your photography sessions!

# 5 | Oval Wire Basket

Finally, every photography needs a classic oval wire basket prop in their studio because it's the perfect way to pose a newborn baby! I pair these with all sorts of things, such as a vintage quilt seen below. They can be used with both girl or boy newborn babies, so they're the best fit for any newborn studio!
