Are you ready for this photo loving friends?
http://demetriusgraidenanthony.blogspot.com/2011/03/props-for-baby-pictures.html
On this page are some of the Modern trends you can find in todays new-born photos. In todays modern photos you will find baby slings like the one above, some off of branches, some held by hands, and some held and hanging by some anonymous source. Hats with long stings, knitted fitted wraps, and suitcases with babies hiding on a pillow.
I have to say I like what modern has done to photography! Very pleased I am.
My point today is to show you some ways that you can make and stage these props yourself without having to pay $70 to $80 a pop. Like this Sling below. You can buy the pattern for only $4. The work hours may be long but in the end you will be saving your $70. I on the other hand don’t know how to knit nor do I think I will ever be able to learn so therefore I will most likely be buying mine. :)
You can find a knitting pattern here for only $4
