This is the newest addition to the studio prop collection, and it’s already proving popular. The little bouclé pod chair – if you’ve been looking at the blog recently, you may have spotted it already.
What I like about it practically is the shape. The bucket sides give a swaddled newborn really good support, which makes it a lot easier to work with than a flat surface or an open bowl. And because it’s a neutral cream, it styles easily in pretty much any direction.
For this session, we went with peach. Peach florals either side, a peach backdrop, a peach wrap. The brief was feminine without being pink, which is a brief I enjoy – there’s a lot of room to play in that space and it tends to photograph really well.
Mum and dad were there throughout, and their little boy – still under two – came along to join in at the end once his sister’s main session was done. Sensible approach. Toddlers and hour-long waits are not a natural combination.
