Bringing props to your newborn photography session

This little monkey made his way into a newborn photography portrait

I encourage my clients to add personal touches to their newborn photography sessions by bringing along special props.  One particular mom fell in love with a sock monkey and matching hat, and decided she must have it in her baby’s portraits.  It worked beautifully – so well that she donated the props to my studio for future clients!

This mom was a trooper and drove to my  Coconut Grove studio from Miami Beach all by herself with a days-old newborn in tow.  Dad wasn’t able to make it, but he’s looking forward to the 6 month shoot that the couple purchased as part of the Grow with Me package.  Click here for more information on my Grow with Me package.

I was really pleased with this newborn photo shoot.  The image of baby in the crook of mom’s neck (second image below) is one of my favorite images to date.  

The composition, the perfectly curled baby, mom’s beautiful hair and the soft lighting all come together to create a perfect portrait. I was thrilled when she decided to order this as a big 20×30 canvas. In my opinion this is the perfect size canvas for above a crib. It is included in my most popular package and is a client favorite.

If you have a little one on the way, be sure to schedule your newborn photography as soon as possible.  Email me at steph@stephanieanders.com to arrange a booking.

I photographed this sweet family’s first newborn session, and they loved their images so much they filled their home with them — an album, wall art, and prints they get to see every single day.

So when they came back to me for their newest little one, it wasn’t just another session… it was continuing their story.

From the soft, sleepy newborn portraits to the love between mom, dad, and big brother — these are the moments that deserve more than just living on your phone. They deserve to be printed, held, and seen.

That’s why I guide my clients through creating something tangible after their session — albums for your babies to flip through one day, and artwork that becomes part of your home.

If you’re expecting, now is the time to book. Most clients reserve during pregnancy to guarantee a spot. #miaminewbornphotographer

Full-circle moments like this never get old 🤍

Four years ago, I photographed their maternity session in my studio… then their newborn… and now here we are again—this time on Miami Beach, morning light (not sunrise 😉), salty air, and one very proud big brother by their side.

There’s something extra special about photographing families as they grow. Same love, new chapter, just a different backdrop.

So grateful they trusted me again to tell this part of their story ✨#miamibeach #miamimaternityphotographer #miamimaternity #beachmaternity #miamipregnancyphotographer

Studio newborn sessions are always special… but add a big sister to the mix and my heart melts every time 🤍

This sweet baby girl was absolute perfection, and watching her big sister step into her new role was such a beautiful thing to capture. The gentle touches, the proud smiles, the quiet moments in between — these are the images that become family treasures.

Newborn photos aren’t just about your newest little love. They’re about telling the story of how your family grows. ✨
