Why I don’t Use Props in my Newborn Photography

As a photographer in Utah County, I am known for creating timeless, natural newborn portraits with a minimalist twist. So, why do I offer natural newborn photography without props?

Babies are Perfect all by Themselves

You know how when you work so hard to get your baby to sleep, but once they’re asleep all you can do is stare at their tiny faces and features. You can’t help but hold their hands or unwrap their little feet to tickle their toes! As a photographer, I can help capture those memories so you can keep them forever. Babies don’t need baskets, flowers, or costumes to make them cute…they already are! Each baby has quirks and qualities that make them unique and special. Elaborate props just distract from what is already perfect…you’re baby!

Your Baby’s Safety is Important to Me

Just like you and me, your baby has a preference with what positions are most comfortable to them. Some like to be swaddled, some stretched out, some with their hands over their face! Without the confines of props or costumes, your baby is able to find their most comfortable position. Sure, I will place your baby on their tummy, or in your arms, but they will squirm and stretch and settle on what is best for them!

I want your Photographs to Be Timeless

Your baby on a simple bed on a clean blanket draped in beautiful light, is going to be a photograph that will pass through generations. Those portraits will be cherished and treasured and be something you’ll be proud of forever. They will always be in “style.”

Newborn Photography Without Props can Be Hard to Find

There are not a lot of photographers out there that create newborn portraits without elaborate setups and props, but still providing that convenient studio experience. I’m here to provide a unique, relaxing experience for you and your baby that will give you many beautiful photographs for you to enjoy for years to come!
