I've discovered this is a fun and easy fix for those times when the weather is just not cooperating.
The above is 3 yards of material. I picked a fun pattern for these, but a solid color or less busy pattern would be adorable as well.
For the 'hanging lantern' effect, we were lucky to have two dads handy for the job, so we asked them to stand one on each side to help us hold the lanterns. They would just as easily hang from something, or one person could probably handle the job. Just make sure the person standing closest to your window isnt blocking your light source or casting any shadows over the setting of your shot.
Zoom/set your camera and get ready for the shot before setting the baby down. A smaller baby might set still with easy, but this little on the go tyke was eager to get up and move so we only had seconds to take each picture before she was off again! :)
We were also simple with our props, but you could really get carried away with this and it would look adorable.
The above standing baby is a 'go-to' pose I use often for babies this age. She is almost one and right on the verge of walking, but just not quite. Just showcases their cuteness and size and allows them to stand freely. Again as I've mentioned before, just be careful not to 'chop' the adults hand.
Just have fun with it.
We would love to see your pictures and ideas.
