This Is How We Did It

I just added some new items to the website!  We have a couple of little tricks that we do when we are using our bins, buckets and boxes with a newborn.  We always weight the bottom of the box and that is usually enough if it has a flat bottom.  Sand is nice because it is heavy and soft.  That doesn't help the sides or edges, so we also use a cuddle throw or pom pom throw to soften up the edges.  Besides having these items there for the baby, we love the texture that these two items add.  In some settings, the boxes can look hard with the surface and straight lines.  These two items help add softness. 

So, if you have seen Julie's new segment on Photovision, you know she uses the heartbeat and the room heater.  The other trick, because it gets cold in Kansas (I know our Canadian friends are laughing me off the blog), we use a heating blanket under the throw.  This gives the baby a nice warm place to nestle in. 

If the box or urn is high or wobbly because of the weight of baby, we always keep one finger on it.  Julie can Photoshop us out later.  We want to keep the baby safe and mom and dad relaxed. 

Check out our new items below and our special posted on the previous blog!

I'm wondering if I can take Newborn images using strobes - I'm almost positive that the flash will wake a sleeping baby - I do not have access to nature light like your awesome studio.

of course, if they are asleep well, they will sleep thru it;-)
