Props and Planning the Photography!
By Amanda DamsApril 30, 2021Updated February 3, 20231 min read

When photographing in the studio, props and planning are very important!
Whether we are picking adorable outfits and backdrops for a newborn, or toys and cakes for a 1-year cake smash – it doesn’t come together overnight and no 2 shoots are the same.
I encourage all of my clients to book well in advance, not only because my schedule fills up quickly, but because I put a lot of time and effort into planning each shoot so we can get the perfect shots.


Have a look through my galleries and when you book, let me know if there are any specific scenes that you would like to create on your day in the studio. I am always finding new, (and cute) props to work with and love seeing the final results!


Tiny toys and oversized hats are always a favourite with newborns, and when it comes to sitting sessions with slightly older kids, we can introduce larger props and busier backgrounds.


You can be confident that everything we use in our sessions has been sanitized and is clean for you and your baby to use. Contact me if you have any questions!
