Do you love the cute newborn pose with the baby wrapped and the toes peeking out?
I made this newborn wrap tutorial for photographers to show you how I achieve this pose, as well as getting 3 different looks and 20 images from this one wrap!
All you need is a long stretchy wrap (approximately 15×60 inches) and a few newborn baby props and accessories. Take a look at my Toes Peeking Newborn Wrap Tutorial Video to see just how to achieve this wrap first. Now let me walk you through how you can create 3 completely different looks and 20 unique images from this one wrap.
First, lay baby on a soft flokati wool fur (this one is from Luneberry) and position so that the light is flowing down the face from the top of her head. For little girls I love adding a cute headband too, like this one from Goodnightmoon Props. Make sure you get both a full length and close up of her face.
Next, without re-positioning baby at all, simply rotate your posing bag 180 degrees. This will backlight your little subject for a nice variation. This is also a good time to switch to a soft knit newborn bonnet, like this one from Strawberry Sprinkles Photo Props. I am a sucker for the long ties which I can play with for an interesting composition.
Take a look at the 20 final images from this newborn wrap tutorial. Using this wrap pose is a really great way to be efficient during your newborn sessions, create a lot of variety for your gallery, and a beautiful solution for settling an awake or fussy baby for photos.
