Newborn Posing with a Wooden Heart Bowl

When you have a newborn photography business and want to get your newborn posing right the first time, it's important to invest in some beautiful newborn photo props. One of our favourite and most popular newborn props is our Wooden Heart Bowl. Wanting a bit of inspiration for your newborn sessions? See below for some amazing images and setup ideas from other professional newborn photographers!

Our Wooden Heart Bowls are definitely a favourite among newborn photographers. A beautiful shape, nice and roomy and gorgeous rustic colouring has helped this item to become one of our most popular items in the store. Not only that, it comes in two amazing shades (Dark and Milk) and we might even have a bit of an announcement for a new shade coming to the store soon (make sure you stay tuned to the socials for all the details).

Posing a newborn in a wooden heart bowl can create enchanting and memorable images, adding a touch of warmth and love to your photography. When using this prop, the key is to ensure the baby's comfort and safety while achieving an aesthetically pleasing composition.

Start by lining the heart bowl with soft, cozy materials, such as blankets or faux fur, to provide cushioning and warmth. This not only enhances comfort but also adds texture to the image. Gently position the newborn in a curled-up pose, which mimics their natural fetal position and helps convey a sense of security. Utilize blankets to support their limbs and head, ensuring a safe and snug fit.

Additionally, pay attention to lighting and angles. Natural light works best to highlight the baby's delicate features and create soft shadows, adding depth to your photos. Capture the image from various angles to find the most flattering perspective, focusing on the baby's facial expressions and tiny details.

The heart bowl symbolizes love and warmth, making it an ideal prop for celebrating a newborn's arrival. For further tips on using props effectively, consider exploring resources from photography blogs or professional newborn photographers. We always feature plenty of images on our socials so make sure you follow us for more over there!
