I wanted to share a few things with aspiring photographers since I get so many emails regarding my backdrops and props etc. I know that some photographers actually charge a fee for releasing this information however I am so pleased with the products that I have used that have enabled my images to really shine that I thought I would share 🙂

Q:  I love how your floors and backdrops flow together with color, what do you use to achieve this look?

A: I find that using a combination of flooring from Lemondrops Backdrops and Savage Paper enables me to achieve this seamless look you are referring to.

Q: What are your favorite backrops from Lemondrop?

A:  I have so many! They are fabulous quality and design and so super easy to move and change. I tend to drift back to Ali Planks – they are white (and yes, named after me!), Butter Wood, White Meringue and Sequoia Wood.

Q: Where do you get all your fabulous backdrops:

A:  Lemondrops Backdrops and Sagebrush Serendipity. The specific drops I have from Sagebrush are actually material!

Q: Those hats are amazing, where are they from?

A: I have a few various vendors, but my favorites are Emerald Photo Props, Rain Drops Photography Props, Baboom, The Baby Couture,  and Clicks and Crochets.

Q: The headbands on your newborns are so perfect, who are your favorite vendors?

A: Aren’t they gorgeous? I am in love with Love Crush Boutique, Pink Poppy and Garden Chic’s products.

Q: Are you natural light or studio light? Its hard to tell . . .

A: All studio!

Q: What lighting do you use if you shoot studio?

A: Alien Bees, good quality for the price.

Q: Do you offer any mentoring or workshops?

A: Not at this time, although its something I have been considering and will post on this blog if that opportunity arises 😀

Hope this post helps some of these questions:)  I’m always getting new props and items so I’ll make another similar post soon listing any new finds! xo

Seems lately as though it’s “in” to be a newborn photographer, and with the amazing DSLR cameras in the market many amateur photographers have decided to give newborn photography a try without any proper safety training.  Because of the many venues of social media like facebook and pinterest, many photographers are attempting to imitate specific poses without realizing that these images are actually done as composites in photoshop and your newborn’s safety is compromised!

I wanted to show below an image from Glow Portraits that was done as a composite, ensuring that baby was safe for this image.  A professional photographer always puts the newborn’s safety first.

 Consumers, if you are in the market for a newborn photographer do your research and hire a photographer who has hours of training in newborn safety!
