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.

Those tiny fingers, sleepy stretches, and delicate newborn features change so quickly. My newborn sessions feature soft, simple posing with timeless wraps, neutral backdrops, and classic colors that keep the focus on your baby.

The best time for a newborn session is within the first 2 weeks after birth, when babies are sleepiest and most flexible for those classic newborn poses.

Don’t miss this fleeting stage. Once it’s gone, you can never get it back. 🤍

Those first days with a newborn pass in the blink of an eye. Tiny fingers, sleepy stretches, and the way they fit perfectly in your arms—these are the moments you’ll want to remember forever.

A newborn session is about preserving all of those beautiful little details before they change. If you’re expecting, I recommend booking during pregnancy to reserve a spot within baby’s first two weeks of life.

One of my favorite parts of a newborn session is everything that happens behind the scenes. 💕

While baby is being gently posed, wrapped, soothed, and loved on, we’re creating memories that families will treasure for a lifetime. This little one was an absolute dream, and it was especially meaningful to photograph this family again after capturing their first baby’s newborn portraits a few years ago. There is truly nothing better than watching families grow and being trusted to document these milestones along the way.

If you’re expecting, I recommend reserving your newborn session during pregnancy to ensure availability. Newborn sessions are ideally photographed within the first two weeks after birth, and parents and siblings are always welcome to be part of the experience.

My Coral Gables studio is fully stocked with wraps, blankets, headbands, hats, props, and everything needed for your baby’s session, making the process easy and stress-free for new parents.

I can’t wait to meet your newest little love. 🤍

To all of the incredible moms I’ve had the honor of photographing over the years — thank you. 🤍

These Mother’s Day mini sessions were such a beautiful reminder of how much love, strength, patience, and joy mothers pour into their families every single day. Watching these moments unfold in front of my camera is something I never take for granted.

Thank you for trusting me to capture your memories year after year, and for continuing to support my small business. Your loyalty means more to me than I can ever fully express. I truly wouldn’t be able to do what I love without all of you.

Wishing every mom a Mother’s Day filled with love, hugs, laughter, and maybe even a few quiet moments to yourself today. You deserve to be celebrated. 💕
