3. Newborn Boutique Clothing Stores

For anything that comes into direct contact with newborn skin we always recommend using blankets or fabric made specifically for newborns. Make sure you check out these boutique stores because you’ll be surprised at what props and accessories they have, and you might even pick up some inspiration for your own shoot while you’re there.

4. Beautifulphotoprops.com or Etsy.com

You can get a lot of nice and unique props from www.Etsy.com which is useful, especially if you have a more stylized shoot.
