Nothing But Baby :: Newborn Portraits with No Props

I am the (self proclaimed) queen of newborn props. But even I can admit, sometimes less is more. And my less is more I obviously mean no prop newborn portraits! There is something so sweet and simple about these photos that really are nothing but baby. And they are such a wonderful reminder of what your little one looked like back when they were tiny and new. I still adore all of my props, of course. And worry not if you do, too. Because there is plenty of time during a session to have all the beautiful and adorable props AND get some photos of just your baby. Worried about variety? Keep scrolling to see some of the different poses and angles that I love to include.

And for even more no prop newborn portraits check out my recent Newborn Photography Round Up for Boys and for Girls. And check out my Newborn Photo Ideas Pinterest board, too.
