15 of the Cutest Lil Taters in Studio: Potato Sack Pose and Wrapping

15 Babies Who Slayed Their Potato Sack Newborn Pose 

Versatile & Why It's the Best

Hi, friends! Today's blog post is a great read because it's all about my favorite type of newborn wrapping during my posed session: potato sack pose. This post also showcases 15 precious earth side cherubs who totally rocked this setup! Wrapping little ones makes for totally unique, special, and very laid back sessions.

Part of hiring a professional portrait photographer for your little one's first session is choosing someone who will keep baby's comfort in mind. Since the baby has spent nine months in a warm, tight place this style of wrapping is not only adorable but keeps baby very sleepy and calm. Essentially, creating an environment that mimics the womb baby does super well!

This is the best style of newborn wrapping because it's most versatile. For instance, during this pose you can do the following setups:

• Sibling

• Mom with Baby

• Dad with Baby

• Mom/Dad/Baby

• Baby in floor prop

• Baby on the flokati rug

• Baby "sitting up" in potato sack pose

• Baby laying down in potato sack pose

• Macro images (up close detailed images of baby's features)

This allows you to create a gorgeous gallery for clients while seamlessly moving through tons of set ups! Moreover, potato sack pose is the best style of wrapping because it truly embodies baby as a bundle of joy. Parents marvel at how round they are - just like a little basketball! 

I typically start my newborn sessions with this style, though have been known to sometimes end in a potato sack, too. Each baby is different! 

Newborn Wrapping Basics

When wrapping a baby in potato sack pose, it is very important to ensure they are stable and properly supported. This style of wrapping can be achieved by attending a newborn workshop on safety + session flow. I would not recommend this pose to anybody who has not taken any hands on training as they baby is sitting up. The workshops will teach you how to achieve this look with baby's safety in mind. 

Potato sack wrapping is also a great way to incorporate texture into the session. For example, there are several types of textiles on hand from cheesecloth to chunky knits. They may vary, depending on season, but are wonderful ways to elevate your newborn session through unique props. I adore using handcrafted hats and bonnets, too, to highlight baby's chubby cheeks! Few things are as precious as a brand new little one. Sometimes they even give us a smile, seen below, which is a total gem to capture. Such sweetness!

Simple Newborn Wrapping & Posing

Keep baby nice and snug by ensuring their joints are wrapping perfectly. This keeps baby very sleepy and content. They can be posed into adorable floors props, such as buckets, bowls, crates, etc. The options are endless, and my clients have full access to the vast array of awesome props I have on hand. In fact, I am constantly adding to my stash and am mildly (who I kidding, TOTALLY) addicted to having new items on hand for my most precious clients!

Adorable Fishing Set Up for Posed Baby Photography

Welcome, friends! Today's blog post is especially helpful since many parents ask about bringing in special props from their homes. Sometimes, for instance, when a couple is expecting their first baby they receive sentimental items from friends at work, loved ones, and even grandparents, too. Moreover, parents will ask my studio policy on items from home. Have no fear: I am happy to incorporate your props in a manner that still reflects my rustic, natural, and timeless baby images.

Gone Fishing at 6 Days New

Darling Daniel, seen below, is a Baby Plan Membership client at Sarah Borchgrevink Photography! His sweet parents live right down the street from me, just outside of Cypress, TX. My newborn studio is the perfect fit for them because I have not only photographed many of their friends, I am super close to them so it made traveling a breeze. Daniel is their first baby and has brought much joy and love to their family! I am really looking forward to photographing his first year of life. Nevertheless, when booking their posed session, we chatted about styling and things Mom likes. She asked if I happened to have a fishing setup for newborn boy photos. I explained I did not, but I am happy to order something new as a surprise to Dad. Dad, you see, really likes to fish and here in the south it's something many men enjoy, a tradition passed down from father to son. 

Nicholas | 6 Days Fresh

Baby boy Nicholas was a complete dream and joy to photograph! His parents booked a natural light, outdoor maternity session with me as well as a full posed newborn session. They're super kind and sweet! Like Daniel's session, previewed above, he is their first bundle of joy! Mom relayed a friend made a crochet fisherman set up for them, so I was absolutely happy to incorporate this into their bucket shot. I pair items from home with my own favorite floor props, such as a galvanized bucket, and dreamy, organic textiles, like the blue wrap seen below.

The tackle box is especially adorable, such a fun way to showcase all things boy.

Thank you, friend, for stopping by and taking the time to preview how I incorporate parent props from home, such as a cute fishing setup, into my timeless newborn baby set ups.
