Need help with 3 month photo shoot

I have mason's 3 month pictures scheduled for next week and I have no clue about props &/or clothes he should wear...I have a feltman bros. outfit that my mom bought him that i am planning to have some pics in but what else...please help???

Re: Need help with 3 month photo shoot

  • What does your photog provide (if anything)? I know a lot of them already have baskets, various kinds of blankets, etc.

    Do you have a favorite toy? One of yours he inherited, or just something he loves? 

  • At 3 months, not sure if he'd have a favorite toy, blankie, book yet... 

    But how about things that YOU two  like? I have seen cute photos of a baby next to daddy's guitar, or on hood of a car... Or that gorgeous nestie pic of you three lying on the bed with your feet sticking out! Also... Baseball glove, sports jerseys, baseball hat...

    You could buy cute baby hats... Elf hats, halloween item? Maybe tie one of daddy's ties loosely around his neck?  

    At 3 mo, they are just lying there... So get naked baby butt pics!! And, the smile... And pics of you two with him! Maybe put him in a white onesie and you guys wear white tops with jeans?

    OK, that's all I can think of! HTH!

    LOL I meant more that she liked - I just didn't phrase it correctly. Stick out tongue

    I love the idea of one of daddy's ties - that would be so cute!

  • Also, consider whatever outfit you put him in for the tummy/push up shots...it's best if there isn't a design on the chest since it most likely won't show completely in those shots.  I tried to chose something that would work for that position...here's a couple of Libby's 3 months shots:

    You might try Googling images of three month old boy portraits and see if you can get any ideas.  And do check with your photog...ours has a TON of props, etc.

    I saw a cute pic the other day of a smaller baby laying in a Flyer Red Wagon...super cute.  Since it's autumn, perhaps lying on a big pumpkin would be cute?  A cute hat would be fun too...especially for naked shots! Like this:

    And with a toy:

    Cute with a tie:

  • oooh I love the idea of the tie! otherwise i don't think you have to do much for the 3 month photos...they aren't doing much but laying there and hopefully he can hold his head up to get a few of those shots :) at 3 months you are just capturing their cuteness....i don't think you really need props, though the pumpkin idea Lori mentioned is cute too.  normally the photographer has all you need so check w/them!
