Newborn Nest/Baby posing bean bag TUTORIAL

[SabrinaO]

I'll be the first to admit that I am not a baby photographer, but in the same breath, it's not out of the realm of possibilities. Lastolite has a baby poser that looks pretty interesting. It can be had at B&H for $180.

Here is one of Lastolites School of Photography videos about the poser.

I really honestly don't see the purpose of that, since the baby is already sitting up on his own....lol. Maybe for a baby that can't sit up on its own but it seems that's the only way it can be used. Maybe if its turned a different way the baby can be on its belly..but still the ways it can be used are limiting. Plus the poser itself is ugly. Probably even when covered with a blanket. Anyways, the newborn nest can do what this poser can do plus tons more.


Heres an example of a similar bean bag in use:

Sweetheart, I was only throwing a suggestion out there. It may not work for you, but other may also find it interesting. I know Lastolite is quality gear.

And besides........ I know what a stop is.

I was just giving my opinion since I do a lot of newborn/baby shoots.
Im glad you know what a stop is. I'm clear of it now too.

Beautiful product.

A friend has a baby on the way, I can't imagine sewing but I may make you an offer on one of your "new to slightly-used" ones
