Even the colours and fabric of the wrap should be chosen with utmost care as it affects the overall picture of the baby. The wrap should be not very shiny or rough and should be tender coloured. This will enhance the baby rather than the wrap.

4. Hats and Bands
Hats and bands are also very common props used for babies shoot. Please choose the size rightly; it should highlight the subject. Also, it should be soft and non-edgy otherwise can hurt the tender baby. Even the colour should be chosen should be tender and not very flashy.

And it is possible to get the most creative capture of innocence in the best light possible.
